Standing before the machinery, the moment had finally arrived to begin production with my own hands.
My heart was filled with excitement for this entirely new experience. However, that feeling was short-lived. Upon reviewing the precautions after setting up, my eyes were glued to the page. It stated that the production process could release gases and toxic substances that could cause health problems.
This was completely unexpected. However, considering my health condition, this is a fact I cannot ignore. As someone living with a chronic illness, it is absolutely essential to reliably remove these harmful substances if I want to continue production safely in the future.
Fortunately, I've come up with an idea for a jig part to eliminate these emissions, and I'm currently working towards its completion. However, as this is my first attempt at such a thing, progress hasn't been smooth.
I've heard various opinions from those around me. Some voices are cautious, saying, "You should definitely take countermeasures," while others are more optimistic, claiming, "It'll be fine, no problem." Of course, I respect both viewpoints. However, when I considered my own body, I came to the conclusion that prioritizing safety is paramount.
"I wish a better idea would come to me, something that would make things easier..."
I sometimes think that. But in the end, no matter how wonderful the goal, if the risks involved in the process are overlooked, it will be difficult to continue in the long run. This time, I keenly felt that truth once again.
I knew it, but it seems that obstacles inevitably arise somewhere along the way. However, I believe that if I can overcome this hurdle, I should be able to keep going.
With that belief, I am now single-mindedly focused on completing the removal jig part, which is just about finished. I believe that a future where I can continue production safely awaits me on the other side of this wall.
