Thanks for sharing this, Megumi. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Setagaya.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Satoshi.
It's all in the list in the story. hospital stay (4 nights) is the big one at $1,250, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
Thinking of you. Wishing Satoshi a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Leicester so I could bring a meal. Blessings
Wishing Satoshi a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't give up. Take care
thinking of you and your family, Megumi. Hope the doctors have good news.
sending love. Your post was clear and honest. I'll check back for the next update. Take care.
Best of luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Satoshi?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about hospital stay (4 nights), advice is welcome too. Thanks for asking.
So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.

Stay strong, Megumi. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Riyadh!
Keep going, Megumi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope November is when things finally get easier
Rooting for you, Megumi. Get well soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
