• Love Actually is on

    Yipeee. It’s finally the holiday season & Love Actually is on a channel I can watch. I’ve been so ill the last 2 months that the holiday season has been something I have been dreading.

    Anything I eat can cause pain, I now know what is wrong. The connective tissue that holds my colon & stomach is inflamed which causes great pain. The ER doctors don’t know what causes it. They gave me an idea of pain management, that is supposed to help.

    We’ll see if it helps, & in a week I’ve my dreaded colonscopy. Meh. Something they want to see as I passed out two times last Saturday morning. Completely blacked out twice in 5 minutes.

    My neck has been hurting but seeing that Love Actually will be on again makes me really happy. It’s the light at the end of the tunnel. Other than that Thanksgiving was a hit.

    My favorite line from a movie this week was, I never knew a robot & unicorn could be friends. Here’s our tree.

  • It’s that time of the year again to write why I am thankful. Thanksgiving is a way of saying thanks for the past year.

    On top of my list this year is my wonderful husband who has been Very supportive the last 2 mmonths when I have been really ill. He’s been a trooper & a steady hand when the world was not. Next year we celebrate 10 years together!!

    I am grateful for our 4 legged creature who has been my companion for the past 2 months. He’s a sweet heart watching over me when I was sleeping & keeping me safe. This week he’s been sleeping on my comforter, being a little comforter thief.

    For our friends far & wide that we got to see this year in Europe & Seattle. It was wonderful to be back in both places. I am grateful for my bestfriend who has been supportive & funny the last year keeping me on my toes, but who always has the most direct honesty I am so thankful for.

    Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday for the simple, basic fact that I am grateful for everything that touches my life, why because some are lessons & some are gifts. Sometimes you just have to figure out what it means.

  • finally partly an answer

    Here I am sitting in my living room on a Sunday when my doc office writes me a text telling me I’ve a benign tumor in my colon. At least they think it’s benign from the ct scan last week. I have been referred to a gastroclinic here in town for follow up. It explains the pain I have & that it’s persistent. However, I didn’t like how they didn’t do a ct scan at the hospital & that 2 docs got it Wrong.

    That’s not okay! The ct scan was available in the ER when I was there but the doc that saw me just jumped to a conclusion that was Wrong, & put me on a bunch of strong antiobiotics, which did little for my symptoms. I am not happy as I would have gotten better faster if they had done the ct in the ER instead of saying I had something I didn’t.

    Which I or my husband are happy about. Helse Bergen is a joke, they make too many mistakes including with me & that’s unacceptable. Something needs to happen to the hospital as they are incompentent & jump to the wrong conclusions. If they’re doing it with me who else are they doing it with. Don’t get me wrong I like universal healthcare but that means the doctors in the system needs to be competent even in the ER.

    When I know more I will write. Happy almost Thanksgiving.
