Ken Uchikura Newsletter Vol. ...

Last Newsletter of 2022


Thank you for reading my newsletter this year. Today, I'd like to summarize what the year 2022 was like for me.

First of all, I would like to say that this year was a year of surgeries and recoveries. On February 25, the doctors found a foreign object in my liver, so I had surgery to remove it. Because of Covid-19, they sent me to the hospital and I went straight to the surgery alone, where I went to the operating room after preparations. I remember up until I entered the operating room, but the next time I woke up, I think I was in the ICU. The nurse told me it was a "big surgery", and for the first time I found out I'd been in surgery for five hours. From there, I stayed in the hospital and could barely eat. Also, after the surgery, my uric acid levels rose and my knees began to hurt. So I had to undergo dialysis at the hospital. After getting discharged, my knee pain continued and I ended up being re-hospitalized by ambulance. It was gout.

After the second discharge from the hospital, I was still unable to eat, but my weight didn't drop because of the water in my stomach. I had three procedures to drain this water, draining five liters of water at a time. It took more than two months for this all to occur, and, of course, my weight dropped 15 kg since before the surgery. It was only after all the water was drained that my appetite returned. I set a goal to walk a mile (about 2,200 steps) every day. By May I could go back to work for a few days a week.

It was wonderful to see how smoothly the company operated while I was gone. And I am thankful of everyone. From there, I could participate in the Seattle Executives Association little by little. I really appreciated everyone's concern. In the end, they told me that the foreign object in my liver was a tumor the size of a tennis ball, and that it was cancerous. But since they removed it all, there isn't any cancer treatment now that I've gotten the surgery. The only thing I'm afraid of is recurrence.

Oddly enough, my father died of cancer at the age of 60. Is it genetic? I don't like inheriting strange things. But this time I survived. But this was the first time in my life where I really felt there was an end. I can now work at my company and while it may seem uneventful, it's what makes me happy. I was actually going to write about my work, but this year I thought more seriously about my health. Or rather, I thought about my survival.

I hope to be healthy again in 2023. I pray that you'll all be healthy next year, too. I would like to be a little healthier too.
