Stages of a Day!

So what does one do in order to entertain their brain while they are in the midst of recovering? This is the answer to the question that I am searching for at these moments....

I can get up and walk back and forth from the front door to the back door and move my legs in order to get some fashion of exercise but the lenght is rather short. I can dabble on the computer for only so long feeling productive. There is never anything decent on Danish TV so forget the idea of wasting away before the tube! It is a little irritating to play on the Wii since you have to move about and my body is not ready for that sort of activity which sucks because I love playing video games. But have been able to immerse in video world in small intervals! It is difficult calling those on the other side of the pond due to time differences. The world is slanted at unusual angles at this point in the season and we have lots of daylight, causing me to have abnormal sleeping patterns, so I guess I could ring friends up when it is early AM
over here, translating to only a late night over yonder! So who wants a 10,11,12 PM phone call?? Reading has entertained me plenty but the joys of the book is about to be over and it is a wonderful sea adventure and am not fully ready to let this stimulating feat withdrawl from my imagination! So if anyone can send a book that will capture the imagination then PLEASE go ahead and take action!

I gaze out the window, mesmorized by the constant drift of clouds, shaping and curving as the wind cuts them into spectacular designs, releasing them in their own direction. Often I feel like one of these clouds, not being able to hold any shape of distinction for long and floating about in a blue abyss. After a human being has a traumatic experience it usually leads to meaningful thoughts. I am in the position of having alot of time on my hands and the thinking creeps, sneaks, slips past my conscious and fabricates various delusions to life.

I just want to find some meaning to my purpose on this side of the pond. I rummage thru the possibilites of many new career options. But there comes a point when the individual must face the realities and take action. You can only sit in the dreaming phase for so long. So as I sit here in my recovery mode, I release the Energi to the universe, and hope that portions of my new beginnings will begin to present themself.

So now I have the time to write rambles out to the vast Universe and hoping that someone will enjoy it!!

The long month of June

June has been one long month of suffering for me! I can give you some details but they deal with the anatomy of a woman! First I was having a very abnormal menstual cycle, so I went into the doctor 10th of June or so and she told me that I had an infection in one of my ovaries, gave me some medicine and told me to come back after antibiotics were done (14 days or so)

The problems insisted along with the pain and I really began thinking that something was not right! Thursday I was sent home from work due to intense pain. I tried to get into the doctor but they told me to call Friday AM and talk with her! So I endured another night of pain, and during all this Tom was away in Greenland! I was not sure what to do but found out I should of come up to the doctors anyway. Who knew!

The next day went from bad to worse!

FRIDAY:
9AM - Called doctor
9:15 - Meet with doctor
9:45 - Doctor made decision that something more serious was occuring and immediately called ambulance to get me and take
me to hospital! (So here I am sitting in her office already nervous, thinking OK I am alone now and about to head off to a DANISH hospital, what is going to happen.....) The mind runs, especially in a foreign country!
10:30 - I get dropped off at hospital - Alone! I am able to get ahold of Tom via phone and tell him what is going on, he contacts other family in town
11:30 - Mother-in-law shows up at the hospital, Thank goodness!
12:00 - Meet with doctors and get examined, pokked, prodded.....

So finally comes the diagnoses: Dinah has a tubular pregnancy in the right fallopian tube, NOT GOOD! This is also known as an ectopic pregnancy. The symptoms are painful! It is a dangerous thing if not treated quickly because at any moment a rupture can occur and this is more serious. So the decision is that sugery is needed immediately. By this time I have had the symptoms for about 2 weeks. Everything happened so quickly but doctors reassured me along the way while my mother in law held my hand during numerous moments!

5PM - Dinah goes in for surgery
7PM - Recovery room
8PM - Taking to my room for the night and FINALLY reunited with Tom and how glad we are to see one another!

Results of the surgery went really well! No ruptures occured and all the vital organs for producing kids are still intact! That is the greatest news out of this along with Dinah finally being cured! Have a few stiches in my abdomen, taken out next week and a blood test next week at the hospital to monitor hormone levels making sure everything is going back to normal! WOW what a day along with a month it has been!

And now doing well, slowyly recovering, relieved that the problem was finally correctly diagnosed, and home while Tom takes care of me!
The Dansih system is excellent and on top of all this left the hospital with no BILLS! All of this was FREE!
