• 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.

  • 6 weeks.

    No answers. Is frustrating & no fun. I’ve had pain on my left side for 6 weeks & today I had a CT scan to see if they could see anything.

    I won’t know for a week or more if there’s anything on it. Which just sucks, but on the other hand at least I am done with antibiotics that made me feel loopy.

    No, it’s not been fun these last weeks, I just hope that I get some answers soon as this is annoying. The pain is constant & my bowels have gotten seriously whacky.

    But the medical establishment has been good for the most part. The ER was a blast a few weeks ago. The whole experience made me glad I got to go home.

    I’ll keep all of you updated. When I know what or it.
