So I like to tell you about a time when I got a serious code back in 2019. At the beginning of the pandemic. So I did not get COVID, but as the code was really serious. It took me, like, weeks to recover. And at that time, my family members, they were really worried about me and my mother. She, like, try to stay home as much as possible and care for me. She’s cooked my meal on, like, even by me, like, medicines, like, the ones that does not really show up on my on the list, not my doctor gave me. Uh, you can call it vitamin. Maybe that was vitamin. I do not know, but my mother used to, uh, take that a lot when she got a code and it was effective. So maybe she thought that it would be effective with me as well. Uh, so as they were worried, I was really not so much. It was uncomfortable to not be able to move my body around as easily since I was retired. Um, the heartbeat, the constantly, uh, that constantly, like, hit my heart. I was really uncomfortable, but as I did not have to deal with my homework on my daily activity, like going to school, I was real happy I could just laser around and read some novel. It was also a little uncomfortable to not be able to exercise as my daughter told me to not to protect my butt vessels or something. Uh, but I ended up like after a week or 2, I did do exercise. I’m not somewhat helped me to recover mentally, though. So I cannot say whether it was good or not.

So I'd like to tell you about a time when I got a serious cold back in 2019, at the beginning of the pandemic. So I did not get COVID, but the cold was really serious. It took me, like, weeks to recover. And at that time, my family members, they were really worried about me, and my mother, she tried to stay home as much as possible and care for me. She cooked my meals and even bought me medicines, like the ones that were not really prescribed by my doctor. You can call it a vitamin. Maybe that was a vitamin, I do not know, but my mother used to take that a lot when she got a cold and it was effective. So maybe she thought that it would be effective with me as well. So while they were worried, I was really not so much. It was uncomfortable to not be able to move my body around as easily since I was retired. The heartbeat that constantly hit my heart was really uncomfortable, but as I did not have to deal with my homework or my daily activities like going to school, I was really happy I could just laze around and read some novels. It was also a little uncomfortable to not be able to exercise as my doctor told me to not to protect my blood vessels or something. But I ended up, like after a week or two, I did do some exercise. It somewhat helped me to recover mentally, though. So I cannot say whether it was good or not.
