PSPINC CEO Kenichi Uchikura's Blog

This is a photo of the lab reception at Virginia Mason Hospital. Every time I visit, I undergo blood and urine tests here. It seems that my kidneys are steadily recovering, and I can feel my overall condition gradually improving. However, I still struggle with medications—some of them cause stomach issues, which can be quite difficult to deal with.

 

My urine output remains high, which reassures me that my kidneys are functioning well. However, my bladder still has trouble storing urine, so I have to visit the restroom frequently. As a result, I have difficulty getting a full night’s sleep. That being said, there has been some improvement—previously, I could hardly retain even 100cc of urine, but today, I managed to hold close to 200cc. Thanks to this, my sleep duration per session has nearly doubled, which is a great relief. Nevertheless, sleep deprivation is still an issue.

 

I have no choice but to keep pushing forward. I encourage everyone to take good care of their health. Even if you think, "It’s just a little discomfort, it should be fine," neglecting your health over time can lead to serious consequences. Please take care of your body and prioritize your well-being so that you don’t end up in the same situation as me.
