The rehabilitation process of the Empress Emerita, who recently had surgery on the upper portion of her right thigh bone, is going well, Imperial Household Agency Grand Steward Yasuhiko Nishimura said at a press conference on Thursday.
The Empress Emerita is currently recuperating at the University of Tokyo Hospital in Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo. She is using a wheelchair and training her left leg to prevent the loss of muscle strength. She is apparently feeling less pain in the injured area.
“I pray Her Majesty will get better as soon as possible,” Nishimura said.
