Weekly Topic: What do you look forward to this Spring?

Hello Everyone ! 

Here is an update blog of our Jan - Feb events --- 

Well -- Jan and feb have been something of a medicial adventure -- I had been experiencing strange symptoms since the beginning of Dec 2022 -- I ended up having to go to  5 different clinics and getting all kinds of testing done --here in Japan before  figuring out that I had a bacterial infection -- interesting point that I learned from this expereince  -- when getting blood work done in Japan -- not all the normal ranges are the same as what is considered normal standard range in Canada  -- this can be very dangerous -- my blood work by Japanese Normal range standards showed that I was fine -- but when comparing to Canada`s standard normal ranges online -- I found I had higher level white blood cell counts  and issues with my kidneys -- which finally lead me to the right clinic to get help -- but even then my symptoms presented differently then the doctor was used to -- thankfully after two rounds of antibiotics -- I am feeling much better. 

そうですね -- 1 月と 2 月は医療の冒険のようなものでした -- 私は 2022 年 12 月の初めから奇妙な症状に悩まされていました -- 結局 5 つの異なる診療所に行き、あらゆる種類の検査を受けなければなりませんでした -- ここで 私が細菌感染症にかかっていることが判明する前に日本に来ました -- 私がこの経験から学んだ興味深い点 -- 日本で血液検査を行ったとき -- すべての正常範囲がカナダで正常標準範囲と見なされているものと同じというわけではありません -- これは非常に危険です. 日本の正常範囲基準による私の血液検査では、私は大丈夫でした. しかし、オンラインでカナダの標準正常範囲と比較すると、白血球数が高く、腎臓に問題があることがわかりました. -- それは最終的に助けを得るために私を適切な診療所に導きました -- それでも、私の症状は医師が慣れていたものとは異なって現れました -- ありがたいことに、2回の抗生物質のラウンドの後 -- 私はずっと気分が良くなっています.

Karin was not well -- in early Feb with pain and an infection as well -- and had to take medicine for 5 days. In Feb we did a fun double birthday trip with my Mother in Law --who also celebrates her brithday in February. We went to Niigata and stayed at Swan Lake Resort and Beer factory. -- Swan Lake Beer has won the Gold medal for the best beer in the world against 1150 other beer companies world wide including the really big companies.  We really enjoyed the beer, food, onsen and glamping. See pictures below : 

Karin さんは体調がすぐれず、2 月初旬には痛みと感染症もあり、5 日間薬を服用しなければなりませんでした。 2 月には、2 月に誕生日を迎える義理の母と一緒に楽しい 2 歳の誕生日旅行をしました。 新潟に行って、スワンレイクリゾートとビアファクトリーに泊まりました。 -- Swan Lake Beer は、本当に大企業を含む世界中の 1150 の他のビール会社に対して、世界最高のビールの金メダルを獲得しました。 ビール、食事、温泉、そしてグランピングを満喫しました。 下の写真を参照してください: (Google による翻訳)

  1.  I also participated in another online recording -- for St. Paul`s Virtual Online Choir -- the alto part was a bit more of a challenge this time with  lots of movement called BROTHER JAMES AIR --
     
    You can listen to the recording here on facebook -- public link below --
     
     
     
    So the thing I am most looking forward to this spring is our upcoming trip to Snow Peak Glamping in Toyota city in Aichi Prefecture as well we will be visiting a section of the new Ghibili park near by to the place we are staying. 
     
     
     
    What are your plans for this spring ?  Let`s have a chat ! 
     
     
     
     
    Warmly,
