I felt bad and I was absent from work.
I have a family now, however, when I was living alone, Illness was a serious problem related to "life and death" without joking.
I lived alone living in the city of the northern limit of Kyoto City, and it was a remote place where friends can not get close to.
If you say, local people may get angry a bit, however, my boarding house from the university in front of the Kyoto Imperial Gate of the Imperial Palace was really far.

If I said,
Ebata: "I will catch a cold, I can not get up. Please give me some water and food."
I think that there were friends to help (perhaps), but on snowy days and rainy days it was a difficult place to ask.
Especially as it is a snowy day, it was such a place, where no one can drive a motorbike, bus also stopped moving, and, friends who came to help me on foot could be distressed.
Of course, I also realized the fear of 'sickness of living alone', I had secured a large amount of food such as "peach can", however, "peach can" did not cure the cold. That is just a means of securing the energy to stand up.
After all, I had to go to a doctor's office or hospital to get medicines, ---- That was a hell I had never experimented.
