The doctor's office

Well, went to the doctor today to get a renewal on my thyroid medication.  In Japan, the doctor stays in the examination room and the patients are called in to see him.  I had paperwork to fill out and then about two nurses, a pharmacist and the doctor discussed the type of medicine and the dosage.  Instead of one pill before breakfast, now I will take 2 1/2 pills at breakfast.

We also visited the kid's school and they tried on second hand uniforms.  The summer and winter uniforms could cost about $1000 each.  They found some pieces that worked.  Photos to follow :)
