ER(救急救命室)初体験

早朝、ロブさんが私の為に車を走らせたところ、
それは、ER(救急救命室)。
深夜、生理痛を激しくしたような痛みに襲われ、
薬を飲むもおさまらず、ベッドを転がりもがいていると、
当然起きてしまった、ロブさん。。。
数時間、手を握り様子を見てくれていたのだけれど、
一向に状況が良くならないので、私、パジャマ姿のまま、
車に乗せられ、ERに運ばれて行きました。
(アメリカのERよ~、ドラマみたい!と、ちょっと感動。)
痛み止めの点滴を受け、4時間後に帰宅したけど、
また痛みに襲われ、夕方時間外診療へ。
強力な痛み止めの薬を処方してもらい、
明日の午前中にファミリードクターに会いに、また病院です。
そのファミリードクターには、先週別件でお会いしたばかり。
ここのところ、ちょっとか弱い、私です。

それにしても、ロブさんには、大感謝。
あなたが一緒にいてくれて、本当、良かった!

A Handwoven Rug Will Be For Sale


Thanks to my job, I have been trained as a weaver since July '06.

I weave rugs.

As a result, I started to get special skills which
most of weavers never get. I say that
because weaving rugs needs bigger looms for sure.
Luckily, I am allowed to use the looms to work on my own projects.
Last Saturday, I took my time to weave a rug which is about
3'x4.5'. This rug will get fringe at either sides.
I am interested in selling this rug after I finish backing.
I want to see if somebody is interested in it... :)

By the way...

Dear all of my family,

You might be surprised but day by day, little by little,
I am growing up as a professional weaver here in the U.S.A.
I do enjoy my job. Sometimes, it is hard because of my
English-understanding ability. But this job gives me so much
satisfaction. Also, I am so glad to create something unique
with my hands. Can you imagine the rugs are sent to all over
the U.S. and they will be loved long in many many houses?
As the number of the rugs I weave increase, I feel like
I am slowly accepted by American people or this country.
You guys might not get a chance to see the rugs I weave in person.
Unless you want to have one...
Sometime in the future, I want you to see what I do here :)
