はい、こんにちは。今日で10回目の音読の録音になります。
えーと、今日は、えーと、プロローグの11ページ目になります。
いつもタイトル言い忘れてました。
When Breath Becomes Air ポール・カナール・ニシさんの本になります。
はい、えーと、今日は事前に一応調べておきましたが、読めるかな?
昨日は結構専門用語が多かったんですけど、はい、今日は11ページの上からいきます。
ポールが、
I would see my friends, or I didn't, in which case there was no reason to cancel the trip.
I rushed home to grab my bags.
Lucy drove me to the airport and told me she had scheduled us into couples therapy.
From the gate, I sent her a text message.
I wish you were here.
A few minutes later, the response came back.
I love you. I will be here when you get back.
My back stiffened terribly during the flight,
and by the time I made it to Grand Central to catch a train to my friend's place upstate,
my body was rippling with pain.
Over the past few months, I'd had back spasms of varying velocity,
from simple, ignorable pain, to pain that made me forsake speech to grind my teeth,
to pain so severe I crawled up on the floor, screaming.
This pain was toward the more severe end of the spectrum.
I lay down on a hard bench in the waiting area,
feeling my back muscles contort, breathing to control the pain.

The ibuprofen wasn't touching this,
and naming each muscle as it spasmed to stave off tears.
Lectal spine, rhomboid, latissimus, periformis.
This is the name of the muscle in the lumbar region.
Lumbar spine, periformis, latissimus, periformis.
I looked at the picture of the dissection again,
and confirmed that it was around here.
The pain was so severe,
that I tried to change my mind and named the muscle from the top.
That's all for today.
Thank you for listening.
