I have a question about my papa being hospitalized.
The papa I’ve been seeing about three times a month since February contacted me to say that he was hospitalized last Saturday with diverticulitis, a bowel condition.
He said that it probably wouldn’t be easy for us to see each other in October.
Although I hadn’t asked, he also told me the name of the hospital and his room number.
His wife and he are separated, so she won’t be visiting him.
In a situation like this, would a papa want the person he’s seeing to visit him in the hospital?
Did he tell me the hospital and room details because he wants me to come visit?
Also, if I do go, what would be a good gift or something to bring?
I feel that I should visit him to encourage him while he’s feeling unwell, but...
I’d appreciate your opinions. Thank you.
Maezawa from the CEO’s office here, with an answer.
If he told you the hospital and even the room number—and also mentioned that his wife wouldn’t be coming—then, however you look at it, I’d assume he wants you to visit.
As for a gift, I think anything would be fine.
Come to think of it, I vaguely remember a scene in *Shima Kōsaku* where the CEO’s mistress visited him in the hospital and he was touching her there. I may be misremembering, though. Still, that kind of relationship sounds appealing in its own way.
And secretly getting intimate in the hospital room might be nice too—but of course, that’s just the male perspective. (笑)
Wait… is this just middle-school syndrome?

I’ve never been hospitalized, so I honestly can’t say how I’d feel until it happens, and my circumstances may differ from yours, so please take this only as a reference.
Even though I’m separated from my wife, I wouldn’t want her to run into people from work or relatives, so personally, I’d rather she didn’t come visit me in the hospital.
Of course, I’d make sure to keep her updated regularly so she wouldn’t mistake it for an excuse to avoid seeing her.

In that situation, I think your papa (a male supporter) probably wants you to come, but it would be best to check with him first by asking, “Would it be okay if I visited?”
Also, depending on his condition, there may be foods he can’t eat, or hospitals that don’t allow fresh flowers, so be sure to check those things too.
That’s the general advice under normal circumstances, though.
Right now, because of COVID-19, hospitals everywhere are prohibiting even family members from visiting. One of my family members recently had surgery and came home without anyone being able to visit them.
Try cheering him up through LINE or something similar. You could even send him a photo now and then to get his heart rate up a little, haha.
