It was quite a fine day without any piece of clouds in blue sky, having a rather strong winds. But it was warm during the day. After I attended a lunch-on meeting with my mates, I went down to a hospital where my cousin got an operation. In the morning, I called a chief nurse at the hospital and was informed as follows;
The patient could walk around his bed. He was moved to a regular patient room from the special care room. He could read books. He could not take any food because he could not move his lower jaw. He had to take nutrition through a pipe plugged into nose until he could move his jaw.
After I bought five paperbacks, I arrived at the hospital around two o'clock in the afternoon. The chief nurse guided me to the patient. As he could not speak, he informed me by a hand writing that his jaws were bind by metal wire not to move them this morning. He might have to keep such binding through the end of month. He looked well but he might suffer from inconvenience of not speaking. His personal doctor came up to the room as the chief nurse called him that I was here. He said every thing was all right through today. The only problem for the patient is whether the cancer had moved to the other parts of organizations or muscles. They are now studying his jaw bone taken out from him. Until he gets the test results, he would not make any comment based on presupposition, he said. The most important thing for the patient now is not to swallow sputum because he has to avoid to have germs on the extracted part. He should spit them through a pipe plugged in his nose.
The regular patient room is clean and patients can get full and perfect care from the hospital. It is really a nice hospital.
