In June 2017, Mr. Kido fell due to a cerebral infarction.He was diagnosed with higher brain dysfunction and aphasia.A year since then, he continued rehabilitation and tried to tell him to live as an apology.
Yuto Chiba / BuzzFeedImmediately after greeting, he drops the coin in his wallet on the floor.He tries to pick it up, but his right hand with paralysis gets in the way.His figure tells him that his struggle has not yet ended.I know who is in front of me.But the name doesn't come out.Even if you try to pay at the cash register, you cannot calculate coins.It is difficult to read long sentences because of the shape of the letters.
Occasionally, the questions of the other person and their own answers are different, and they are interacting with them.There are many situations where you can not convey your thoughts with what you are thinking and the actual words.
A computer that was essential for work could not even open at the beginning of the illness.With the help, I can't remember the password next time.The daily life of Kido Kodo (28), who worked as a design engineer at Create Brab PARTY, has changed completely after one day.
Suddenly cerebral infarction, when I woke up, I didn't say anything
On June 17, 2017, Kido was eating rice with a friend in Shibuya.She drank a little alcohol.On the way home, she feels pain in her head and suddenly falls down on the roadside.She was immediately transported by emergency, and as a result of the test, she was diagnosed with cerebral infarction.Mr. Kido clearly remembers his emergency transport.
"Oh, I thought in an ambulance that was transported by a cerebral infarction, but it seems that doctors and nurses seemed to have just fallen drunk and collapsed," he said.I wanted to convey that, but at that time I didn't say anything anymore.
Kido was diagnosed with aphasia.There are some of her higher brain dysfunction, and she is still paralyzed in her right half.The main symptom of aphasia is that words cannot be used well because the brain's language area is damaged by cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, and trauma.Symptoms are each person, but the spoken words are not good at speaking, and it is classified into three patterns, both of which are both integrated and difficult to understand and understand.
According to a survey of the people with higher brain dysfunction in 2008, it is estimated that there are about 50,000 higher brain dysfunction in Tokyo, and about 500,000 people nationwide are estimated.。40.4%of people suffer from aphasia.Based on this figure, there are about 20,000 people in Tokyo and about 200,000 aphasia in Japan.
98%of right -handed people and 70%of left -handed people are said to be on the left side of the brain, and the ability to speak, listen, ability to read, and write, each of them are different brain parts.I'm crazy.Mr. Kido mainly damaged the part of the brain, Wernikke, who could hear and understand the words of others.
Not only the words can't speak.What are the suffering of aphasia and the suffering of the supporting family?
It is not the only question of words that people with aphasia have.Mr. Osamu Watanabe, the director of the rehabilitation department of rehabilitation, Jikei Medical University No. 3 Hospital.
"In addition to the problem of words, it is difficult to live in social life by having a psychiatric symptoms such as frustration, anxiety, and anger, as well as the problem of language, which is a big burden for the family."In some cases, you may return to work with a few months of rehabilitation.On the other hand, if it is long, it will recover for 2-3 years and sometimes for more than 5 years.However, in 2006, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare set the upper limit of rehabilitation that could be received at the hospital on the 180th.Some patients cannot be rehabilitated until they are satisfied."The necessary period is not about 180 days. In the case of severe symptoms, you need to be prepared to see you for a lifetime," says Watanabe.
With these problems, how do aphasia people recover?
"The recovery of words is proportional to the amount you spoke, so it's important to take a shower in various society, such as talking with friends or going to karaoke instead of being trapped in the room.That's not what speech therapists do. "" There is a limit to what you can do with your family, so if you try to work hard with your family alone, you will be exhausted. Hospital staff and local welfare section.It is necessary to share the difficulty of the self -help groups and other teams. "Watanabe says that by nurturing confidence and self -efficacy, we can overcome sadness, anxiety, and anger.
According to a survey of the NPO National Dokbular Friends Assembly (currently the NPO Againgology Council), 63%of those who developed aphasia have developed in their 20s and 50s.When returning to society, it is a case -by -case case to return to the original workplace.If you can't speak words well, you often have difficulty understanding numbers.In such a case, it is difficult to return to a clerk.What kind of work is absolutely necessary is the understanding of the workplace.
"I don't feel like I'm alive."
Mr. Kido is still not connected and cannot tell what he thinks.So, his interview was also presented by his friend, Ari -Mura, from his college days.I have been acquainted with Kido for 10 years while doing music activities.I was drinking frequently before the onset.
When Kido was clogged in words, Arimura followed, "Is that so?"
When Kido fell, he thought he would be busy when he couldn't get in touch.Sometimes I couldn't get in touch.He learned that he had aphasia in September 2017, three months after he fell.It was October when he first visited.
At the beginning of the illness, she was not in a situation where she could meet someone, and she was told only a limited number of women who had been dating their family before.Arimura looks back on those days."At that time, I couldn't speak at all, and I couldn't stand on my own because I had a lot of half -paralysis. I couldn't move in the room alone.You can do it, but at that time it took 15 to 30 minutes to say one sentence. "
Immediately after the onset in June 2017, he left a note.There was such a word there.
"I'm alive, but I don't feel real ... the wording itself has been destroyed."Some of the people who had a close relationship have been away after the onset.Half -paralyzed body is like your own, not your own.Listening to the music that I loved, it can only be heard like a dog's cry.The taste of the taste has also changed.
When the recovery, which had been progressing smoothly, was flat, the anxiety that it would not be cured was immediately rushed.There was a moment when I had a pale expectation, examining the treatment of cutting -edge medical care, as there were more effective treatments.The days of the loss of what had existed as a matter of course was stuffy, and at the time, Mr. Kido often expressed his condition with the word "half dead".It has been revealed in the 2017 NPO Agency for FY2017 that 54%of the parties of aphasia feel the difficulty of participating in society, and 83.72%of their families feel the lack of social participation.It can be said that aphasia and their families are easy to be isolated in society.
"It's a state where no one can help, rather than a painful isolation. At the beginning of the illness, I can't talk or hear it, so I don't know what's going on. So I avoided meeting people."
At first it was troublesome to talk to people.Even so, I had to overcome it, so I tried not to stay at home as much as possible.Kido recalls that he was lucky.Around him, Arimura -san, and a friend who continued to support him."Kido has always been positive and curious. So, even if there is something he can't do, he continues to try and error to do something."So, I immediately write down the memories in the iPhone notepad.
"For example, when I'm preparing to go outside, I suddenly remember the word" finger cut ". At a really moment, I remember the next word.You can see that this is a finger cut. "
There is no connection between the words you are doing at that time.Suddenly, a certain word comes down.When I looked into his notepad, it was written next to the tax accountant.
"I want to convey it positively with laughter," so Kid continues to rehabilitate today.
Currently, I go to the hospital two days a week and continue rehabilitation.On a day when she has no rehabilitation, she appears to the party office where she worked, visiting her friend and exchanging words.
You can speak smoothly compared to before.Fortunately, the remaining paralysis is only the right hand.At first glance, it's the same as other healthy people.That's why I want you to know more about aphasia.The help mark attached to the bag is too small, and it is very rare for people to see this mark and help."No one really notices. I don't notice. So I want you to know a little more."
What you need to get to know is not always a sad story.Rather, explore the possibility of being able to convey aphasia more positively.He has been working on communication work, and he has been exploring every day that aphasia can be conveyed in a wider and more popular way using illustrations and manga.
Mr. Kido hates to be said to be better.The word recovery gives people a person who ends the fight against aphasia.But this is not the goal for him.He believes that he will recover more.
Mr. Kido continues to send the moment of rehabilitation and words on the casual everyday life with a friend on Instagram.It is indispensable to solve this problem that each person knows about aphasia and supports it.If you are worried, please take a look at his daily life.
