タイトルの通り、ここ最近はこれまでの人生にない大きな出来事が続いています。
一つ目は、先月父が癌との闘病の果てに永眠したこと。二つ目は、父の看病に追われている間に自分も体調を崩し、来週手術することになったことです。
詳細は省略しますが、自分の病状としては体質的に血管の弁が機能せず、下腹部に血がうっ滞してしまうという病気のようなものだそうです。今年8月ごろから痛みが出始め病院にも行ってみたものの、手術以外には根治する方法はないが手術は必須ではないと言われたため放置していましたが、最近は足がしびれてきたりするため、手術することを決断しました。
本業は激務の会社でサラリーマンをしており、激務に耐えれるように色々と体にも気を使ってきたつもりでした。しかし、今後今までと同じ生活を続けられるのか、見通しが立たなくなってきました。また、父の闘病する姿をみて、健康に勝るものはないなと人生観も変わりました。
文章を書いて何かを発信することが好きなこと、自分の取り組みや考えをしっかり残したいこと、自分のペースで働けるようになるための補助になるようなものを作るために、ブログも再開しようかなと思います。
昔から海外とも交流したいと思い英語も勉強してきたので、英語でも記事を書いて海外の人とのつながりも増やしていけたらいいなと思っています。
普段SNSを見てくださっている方々はこちらのブログもどうぞよろしくお願いいたします。

As the title suggests, a series of very big events have been happening in my life recently.
First, my father passed away last month after a battle with cancer. Secondly, while I was busy looking after my father, I also fell ill and will have an operation next week.
I won't go into details, but it is said to be a kind of illness in which the valves in the blood vessels do not function constitutionally, causing blood to become stagnant in the lower abdomen. I started having pain around August this year and went to the hospital, but left it alone as I was told that there was no other way to cure it but surgery was not essential, but recently I have decided to have the operation as my legs have become numb.
My job is as a salaried worker in a company with hard work. I am not sure if I will be able to continue with the same job in the future. Also, seeing my father fight against his illness has changed my outlook on life, as I now realise that there is nothing better than good health.
I would like to resume blogging as well, because I like writing and sending out something, I want to leave a solid record of my efforts and thoughts, and to create something that will assist me in working at my own pace.
I have been studying English for a long time because I wanted to communicate with people overseas as well, so I hope to write articles in English as well and increase my connections with people overseas.

The area around Seibu Yanagisawa Station in West Tokyo City is attractive for its old-fashioned shopping streets and retro atmosphere.
Particularly attractive are the shop fronts of my father's favourite eel shop and a candy shop.
Yagisawa Base, the candy shop is particularly focused on activities for local children.
