The operation was ended in success yesterday afternoon. The operating surgeon showed me large gallstones taken out of the gallbladder. The size has quite bowled us over. After six o'clock in the evening, we could meet our mother in the ICU.
This morning, at seven, my elder sister assured the face of mother and relieved before returning to home in Kouch.

On my way back to mother's home I make a detour to Nippon Steel Hirohata Works front gate. All of us, my elder sister, me, my dead father, my husband, and my elder brother-in-law, were the old boys of the place.

The Works looks like something lonely because the blast furnaces (four sets at its height) were demolished several years ago for restructuring the company.

After that, I saw off my elder sister off at Himeji railroad station.

2001.3.17: Explore ring my old town Yumesaki

Yesterday, I confirmed a new supermarket Itoh-Yokado was built on the site after old Yumesaki Hall, I visited it today.

I browsed around the shops in the market and decided to take a cup of noodle for lunch at the food corner on the first floor.
A sort of a pocket bell was put on the table together with a bill.

The bell calls me upon completion of the cooking.

Then I picked up the dish at the counter and ate the noodle.

after lunch, I returned to the hospital.
