[Yuko's Leg Rehabilitation Diary - 23]
The next concert was close upon me.
I didn't want to cancel concerts. But the situation was getting worse and worse. I couldn't walk, and also even couldn't go down the stairs. It was shocking to me. I couldn't go down the stairs because my muscles were too tight.

I had to cancel my first concert in 2014. It was extremely sad. But at that time I thought my cancellation was only that one. I thought that the situation would be better soon, a few months later it would be OK.
But it wasn't so easy.
