In Tokyo, it was the coldest in this winter today. As the weather station forecasted repeatedly that it was cold today, I wavered in my judge what wears I should take. Finally I choose a cotton undershirt, a casual shirt with no necktie, a cashmere jacket, a raincoat with liner and muffler. I was delayed to arrive at the hospital than usual by a train because I was caught by a telephone call just on time I was leaving. Even within the crowded train, I did not feel too warm. It was not cold for me even when I walked outside. Within the hospital, it was heated for 24 hours a day. It was just comfortable when I took off the coat. I think I made a good choice for wears.
I was the second patient who registered at the radio therapy room. Usually more than ten patients arrived earlier than me. The most of them were aged people. I found out that there were so many patient who were afraid of cold weather. To protect myself from cold weather, I learned from my experiences on foreign trips that the selection of wears was important. The most of building in Tokyo are heated up properly just like those in New York. But many people, especially aged, are not accustomed with a new way of life in winter for adjusting themselves to the room temperature. I have been told by doctors repeatedly that I should not take cold. They are afraid that if I stop the therapy on its way because of my illness it would be a big waste of their efforts. Two weeks remain before I finish the therapy. I wish to complete the scheduled therapy without any trouble.
