Salon de Tomo

感謝でいっぱいです。

You might have noticed that I have been blogging more frequently in the last few days. There is a reason: my husband was hospitalized for five days, and I had more time to sit down and work with my laptop.

ここのところ、ブログの投稿が頻繁でありましたが、それには訳がありまして。実は、旦那さんがこちらの病院に５日間入院していたのでした。

During those five days, my husband underwent surgery and is now recovering very well. Today, he was finally able to return home! Humdulillah! The doctors, nurses, managers, security staff at the clinic… everyone was so kind and professional. I was so touched by them. They always greeted me with warm smiles, and made sure everything was okay. They were angels – made me cry.

緊急手術も行い順調に回復中。そして今日、晴れて我が家に戻ってこれました！病院の先生、ナースのみなさん、セキュリティの方々、、、みなさん本当に素晴らしくて、優しくて。涙がでました。

I won’t mention the details of procedures and such, but I thought it would be worth sharing a little bit about our hospitalization experience in Morocco (to especially those who don’t live here).

病名などは控えますが、でも！モロッコでの入院体験を少しブログに残しておきたいと思います。

We were given a very comfortable private room with a nice bathroom. The cost was 600 MAD per night (about $65), which was without insurance. There was even a cozy sofa that could turn into a day bed for me to stay overnight, but I didn’t. The clinic was only 3 minutes away from our place, so I just went back and forth as necessary.

おトイレ／シャワー付きの個室をいただきまして（一泊の費用は約６００ディルハム、日本円で1万円くらいでしょうか）、とっても快適でした。私が一緒に泊まれるデイベッドにもなる心地よいソファーもありましたが、宿泊することはなかったです。家から3分の病院だったため、行ったり来たりしていました。

But, to keep him from feeling lonely sleeping alone, our teddy, Hoover, stayed with my hubby. The blanket in the room was so fluffy, it reminded me of something you’d find in a Japanese Minshuku (Japanese style bed & breakfast). Matched well with our Hoover.

1人で寝るのが寂しくないように、テディベアのフーバーくんはお泊まりです。このブランケットが、日本の旅館にあるようなフワフワ感で、なんとも心地よい。

The painting in the room was so Moroccan, so cute!　お部屋の中に飾られている絵が、すごく可愛かったです。

I am sure you would be interested in seeing “hospital food” in Morocco. A very “home-cooked” style with gentle flavors. Always comes with Moroccan bread, Khubs. My husband LOVES coffee, and was glad that there was this coffee package in the breakfast tray. The little pot contained warm milk, and you can put the coffee in there, which becomes NousNous (Moroccan latte).

気になる「入院食」ですが、こんな感じです～。旦那さんはコーヒーが大好きなんですが、このコーヒーの粉！が朝ごはんの中にあって、よかったです。。。ポットの中は、あたたかいミルク。これでに粉を入れて、ヌスヌス（モロカン·ラテ）状態。

Every time I walked back and forth, this beautiful tunnel of Jacaranda trees encouraged me to stay positive.　毎日行ったり来たりの道。満開のジャカランダ並木がとってもきれいで、心が癒されました。

Conversations with the nurses were either in French or Darija, which was a great learning experience for me. There was one nurse who kept on talking to us in Spanish though. I was glad that I took a Spanish class when we lived in Barcelona.

ナースの方達との会話はフランス語かダリジャ語になるため、すごーく勉強になりました。なぜかスペイン語を話してくるナースの方もいましたが（笑）、バルセロナ時代に通ったスペイン語教室が少し役立ったかも。

Our dear friends here and the US, our neighbors, my choir members, caretakers of our apartment building and around streets… thank you so much for reaching out to us, and sending us good wishes.

こちらのお友達や、ご近所さん、アメリカのお友達、クワイヤーのみなさん、家の周りのケアテイカーの方達、、、たくさんの方が声をかけてくれ、本当にみなさんの優しさのおかげで乗り越えられました。

It was somewhat unexpected but definitely a valuable experience. I was deeply impressed by the quality of care we were able to receive in Moroccan healthcare system, and the high skills of the people working there. And their amazing warmth… so so thankful.

ちょっと予想外の貴重な体験をさせてもらいましたが、モロッコの医療機関の良さ、そこで働くみなさんのレベルの高さ、に感動いたしました。そして、みなさんの心のあたたかさ、、、

My husband is back home now, and I am feeling relieved. I think I’ll finally be able to get some sleep. These past five days have reminded me of simple but important things: to cherish each day, to give lots of hugs to the people we love, and never forget kindness and gratitude. God is great.

今は旦那さんも家に戻ってきて、ホッとしているところ。やっと睡眠が取れそうです。毎日を大切に、愛する人とたくさんのハグをして、優しさと感謝の気持ちを忘れずにすごす。シンプルだけど、重要なことをリマインドしてもらった５日間でした。神様に感謝の気持ちをこめて。
