To answer your queries on the subject of my recent health scare, which put me out of commission for around 10 days, I suffered a stroke, or a cerebral infarction, as the doctors say.
Thank goodness you’re OK! Thanks for warning us about strokes and to not wait if something seems wrong. St. Lukes is a great hospital. Dr. Hinohara was its guiding light for many years. He was truly an enlightened being. Please take good care of yourself!!
Glad to hear you’re doing ok. Odaiji ni!
Glad you are better! I also learned to listen to my wife… live long and prosper!🖖🙌🏼🤙🏼
Thank you Machiko! Best wishes to you Robert! Enjoy life as you always did. And thanks to you for sharing... Daniele
Glad you got through it, Rob. Please continue to do what you’re doing because it is such a blessing to Japanese baseball lovers worldwide!
Thanks Trevor.
Not being able to watch baseball was the strongest symptom. Your wife/angel really knows you. Get well, bobu-sensei.
ロバート・サン、体調が良くなってとても嬉しいです。 私の母は聖路加病院に何度も入院していて、95歳近くまで生きました。気をつけてください。マリアン
有難うございます
９５歳までが頑張ります！
