Chie Update
Well, I have spoken to Chie several times. She has instructed me to call her every Saturday night, Sunday morning for her, so that's just what I do.
She has been in very good spirits the last two weeks. She was very cute as she explained about her rehab. She explained about how she is worried about forgetting English. Everybody speaks Japanese at her rehab. She wants to speak to people in English to help her from forgetting. I have some friends who will be calling soon to talk with her. If anyone would like to chat with Chie on the phone please feel free to contact me 469 363 6611, and i can get you the number.
She likes the food they have been serving, its all japanese. She has had tempura, mobotofu, curry rice, and many more. NO complaints about the food.
She was very cute as she explained how she wanted to come home to Dallas, she doesnt like the fact that she must be polite to everyone there, LOL. Its been hard to make friends there for her she said but she thinks there is a new girl she may be able to make friends with.
She doesnt think that she is getting enough therapy. Its not long enough for her and she only sees her teacher twice a week. She has 15 people per class and she doesn't like that much because she doesnt receive good therapy or much attention.
Sadly, she called yesterday and felt like she was in trouble because nobody comes to see her anymore. She said she was just so bored and had nothing to do and nobody to talk to. I tried to give her a couple of phone numbers to our friends so she could call them and say hello. She understands that her therapy facility is far from all of her friends but that she was just so bored she didnt know what to do, and she felt like she was in trouble. She couldnt even remember what day it was she told me and that frustrated her. I guess she feels like she is just forgotten about and has no bearing on time anymore or days. She has nothing to look forward to right now as nobody comes or takes her out. She I dont believe has even been home yet on the weekend. Maybe I spoiled her trying to do so much with her or maybe its just a cultural difference and she needs to toughen up, I dont really know. I just hate to think of her being forgotten and feeling so lost.
She called back and said she had decided that she would like to try and read a book, maybe on with big letters or just not too small so she could read it with her magnifying glass. I ask what kind of book she would like to read and she decided she would like a comedy or something funny so she could feel happy again.
Thats about it for right now, She misses everyone here in Dallas very much and she really wants to come home. She said hi to UDONCHAN and sends her love to everyone here.
TAke Care,
D
