As winter arrives, my body has become terribly cold. I was originally a person with a lot of body heat. My wife loved that my hands and feet were so warm when we were together, and I used to worry and struggle in the summer, thinking, ‘How am I going to survive this heat?’ Even when sleeping at night, I would often have to come out alone and lie on the cold floor to cool down enough to fall asleep. I could only feel comfortable after moving around a bit to dissipate my body heat.
But these days, my body is so cold. I feel a chill down to the bone all day long, and I don’t know myself why my physical constitution has changed so drastically. I’m confused whether this is due to a problem with my body’s temperature regulation from the stroke, or if the medications I’m taking have altered my body’s balance. I was happy that I could spend last summer cooler than others, but now that winter is here, it’s so incredibly cold that it’s hard to bear. I’ve thought countless times, ‘Why am I so cold all day? This is too much.’ To cope with this cold, I’ve ended up buying and using many hot packs from the pharmacy. Even with hot packs, I feel like the warmth just hovers on the surface and doesn’t penetrate deep into my body.
However, even in this difficult situation, there’s something I’m thankful for. Our newly moved-into house is surprisingly warm. Our old house was a new apartment with great facilities, but this house is older and smaller than the last one. As the house got smaller, the heating efficiency improved, making the interior feel cozier.
And the biggest change brought by the smaller house is that my family spends more time closer together. Before, the house was big, so we lived in our own spaces and had to cross large areas to talk to each other. Now, from the living room, I can see what my son is doing and what I am doing at a glance. Sharing our warmth and talking in close proximity in this small space is a great comfort to me. I feel that this environmental change is having a positive effect on my recovery.
My body is cold and uncomfortable, and enduring winter is still painful, but I’m holding on within the warmth and closeness of my family in this small house. Nevertheless, my heart truly wishes… that winter would pass quickly. I sincerely hope that the warm spring arrives, this coldness disappears, and I can return to my former vigorous body.
