otitis externa

Hello~:-) How are you doing?

This morning, I went to a hospital to see an otolaryngologist because my right external ear has been swollen these days. Today was the end of the year and the hospital was opened only before noon today, so it was very crowded. It took more than an hour to consult a doctor. Finally I could see a doctor at 12 o'clock, though I went there at 10:30. I was told that my diagnosis was otitis externa. I was surprised when I heard that because I didn't expected that my ear had disease!! I was put a medicine-soaked guaze by a doctor. He said that I should put it in all day. I can't hear well today... However, I was glad that I could detect my disease much earlier. I hope my ear gets well soon!!

After I saw a doctor, I had a lunch with my grandparents.

My grandmother made rice cakes!!
She pounded them all by herself.
She is so good at cooking:)
Every year, I go to her house and eat her rice cakes.



These rice cakes were made rice which were produced from Niigata, so they tasted good. Niigata is so famous of rice!! In Niigata, there are a lot of rice fields. Koshihikari, which is one of the most famous rice brand in Japan, is also produced from Niigata. Cooked Koshihikari is so tender and delicious!! While I was in Tokyo, I sometimes felt lonely bacause I couldn't eat  this delicious rice. I want to enjoy my hometown's food during this winter vacation ;)

See you♪
