I received the new year's card from a patient, yesterday. She had DBS(Deep Brain Stimulation), a surgery for PD patients, two or three years ago.
She wrote in her card that she was in bad condition. Her condition must be terrible to write so on the new year's card, I thought.
So I called her.
She said darkly that she almost could not walk and cook. Letting her laugh,I said that also I fell and did't cook. She laughed a little.
I added that I would like to see cheerful her.But she only told she was dark. She has pains in places, she said.
I don't know the English word for my feeling. In Japanese, I say ”mune ga tsumaru." In English, maybe "choke up."
I said I would go to see her since she said she could not come to the overnight trip of March.
I remember her smile and I'd like to see that again.
