Holding a Class Reunion at TENTOMI on February 20th, 2007

My classmate Shuhei came back to Japan from Hawaii. So we decided to hold a class reunion at a Japanese Tempura restaurant called. "TENTOMI"

Unfortunately, it's rained and so it was a very cold day. I was worried about Shuhei and my throat condition was getting worse.

However, we had a wonderful dinner and the restaurant gave us a warm and heartfelt welcome.

I was looking for devising a way to eat food painlessly.

It's very important to consider the amount of food to swallow, because the cluster of food content presses on my swollen throat when I swallow.

I'm afraid to swallow any food because I have to expect the pain during the process.

I found a technique: I would chew small amounts of food and divide the food with my tongue (small enough to pass through narrow throat passage) and swallow with water.

However, even when I use this technique, my throat still feels pain when I swallow with water.

I'm exhausted. I always dread the time I need to swallow food.

Not only do I feel pain but I need to be careful not to hurt or add further injury to my throat while swallowing food.

I have lost my weight 2kg recently.
