[骨盤臓器脱] みんなのサポートに心から感謝します
Thanks for everyone’s support
手術を決めたのは5月末ですが、子供の夏休みスタートまで待って入院することにしました。子供達が学校に行っている間の方がよいか？とも思ったのですが、学校があると何かと気ぜわしくなりそうで（起きて！とか、お弁当！とか、次の日までに乾くようすぐ洗濯しなくては！とか..)。夏休み中なら好きな時間にごはんを食べて、犬の散歩や掃除・洗濯もなにかに追われずにある程度自由にできるだろうと思ったからです。結果は夏休み中にして大正解でした。
家族以外にもたくさんの人に助けてもらいました。子供の習い事の送迎は一緒に通っている近所のママさんたちが「まかせて！」と言ってくれました。中にはユニフォームの洗濯まで「自分ちの子のと一緒にしてあげる！」言ってくれたママさんも。さすがにうちの子の臭〜い
洗濯物まではお願いしなかったけど気持ちだけでもとっても嬉しかった。本当にありがとう
人に頼るのが苦手なひと（私のような）は、「自分一人でなんとかやらなければ」と責任を強く感じている人が多いでしょう。「人に頼ることに罪悪感がある」とすら感じることも。「自分が頼ることで相手の時間を奪ってしまい、相手が忙しくなるのでは」と頼る前から考えてしまうのです。でも今回の入院で「頼ることで相手との信頼が深まり、感謝の気持ちを素直に伝えることができるよい機会になる」ということに気づくことができたのでした。
I decided to have the surgery at the end of May, but I decided to wait until my children’s summer vacation started before I was admitted to the hospital. I wondered if it would be better to have it while the children were at school, but I thought it would be hectic if they went to school (lunch boxes! I have to do laundry right away so it dries before the next day!, etc.), so I thought I would be able to eat freely, walk the dog, clean , and do laundry without being rushed. I didn’t want to burden my family as much as possible. My parents are nearby, but they are elderly, so I didn’t feel like relying on them too much. In the end, it was a great decision to have it during summer vacation. I was helped by many people other than my family. The mothers in the neighborhood who go to their children’s lessons with me said, “Leave it to us!” when it came to taking them to and from their lessons, and some even said, “I’ll wash their uniforms together with my own children!” I didn’t ask them to do my child’s smelly laundry, but I was very happy just for the thought. Thank you so much♡Many people who are not good at relying on others (like me) feel a strong sense of responsibility, thinking, “I have to do it on my own.” They may even feel guilty about relying on others. They tend to feel excessively guilty before even asking for help, thinking, “By relying on others, I will take up their time, and they will become busy.” This hospitalization helped me realize that “relying on others deepens trust and is a good opportunity to sincerely express gratitude.”
