《リハビリ日記①》十字靭帯断絶-復活へ

X DAY

During the afternoon practice, on the indoor artificial turf training field, I was hit from behind and my leg was blocked below the knee, causing me to fall forward diagonally to the right. While I fell I thought, “Oh, it’s my meniscus….” It was a very calm thought.
When I tried to explain what happened I explained the situation in Japanese as quickly as I could. (Most likely no one understood what I was saying.) Normally I speak a mix of Dutch and English, but I think I was pretty upset. After that, my teammates held me by both arms as I walked back to the club. I was telling myself, “Oh, I’m going to do my best with muscle training.”

2021年2月15日、午後の練習、室内人工芝のトレーニング場、後ろから脚をいれられ膝下がブロックされて右斜め前に倒れた。「アッ半月板だこれ・・・!」瞬時にそう思えるぐらい冷静だった。咄嗟に日本語で状況を説明していた。普段はオランダ語と英語が多いが、かなり動揺していたと思う。その後は・・チームメイトに両腕を抱えられクラブに戻る道すがら「筋トレ頑張ろ」と自分に言い聞かせていた気がする。

DAY1 / 手術日

The surgery went well!

The anesthesia finally wore off, and as soon as I woke up from my death like sleep state, I cried because my knee hurt so much. (laughs). Then, a nurse handed me an ice cream…why⁉
Anyway, I’m happy to report that the surgery was over, and I’m fine!

手術、無事に終わりました!!
麻酔もやっと切れてきて、死ぬほど眠い状態からは解放された途端、膝痛すぎてずっと泣いてました。。。(笑)。そしてそこで看護婦さんから手渡されたのがアイスクリーム・・・何故だ⁉ とりあえず手術終わりました&元気です〜という報告になります!

It was my first time to be hospitalized, although I had heard a lot about it from friends and others. I passed all the vitals checks, and tests, nervous time…etc. on the day before the surgery. The next day I arrived at the hospital four hours before the surgery. I was not allowed to be a chaperone due to the corona disaster. I was alone and almost unable to communicate in the Dutch-speaking hospital room. Well, I guess I could laugh at myself while enjoying it a little.

I had not been allowed to eat since noon the day before the surgery, and I was starving. So I was looking forward to my first dinner in 30 hours. “Bread and chocolate past!” It was a combination I wouldn’t normally choose for myself, but perhaps because I was so hungry, it was delicious! “Give me more!”

初めての入院で友人等に色々聞かされていたものの、手術前日入院でのバイタルチェックや検査、緊張タイム・・・などは一切飛ばして、手術の4時間前に病院入りしました。コロナ禍で付添は許可されず、オランダ語飛び交う病室で一人言葉を失う。まあ、それも少し楽しんでる自分に笑えたかな。
手術前日の昼から食事抜きで空腹!だから30時間ぶりの夜ご飯は・・?とお出ましになったのが、「食パンにチョコペースト」。日常自分ではチョイスしない組み合わせ、日本食を空想しながら口に運ぶ。空腹だからか、それも美味かった!おかわり下さーい!
