On the 23th December I got a call from Aarhus University Hospital sarcoma department. This was the day before Christmas as we in Denmark celebrate, exchange gifts and dance around the tree on the 24th. The 25 & 26th are reserved for Christmas celebration, known as Julefrokost at family or friends places. The call informed me that I been on a multidisciplinary conference, just a fancy way of saying multiple people with different specialties look at the same pictures and patient journal and discus the case. They wanted to have a clear idea of what we are dealing with, so they would like a biopsy.
So I’m finally free, after one week of been admitted, at lot of scans, confusion and disturbed sleep, I’m ready to go home for Christmas. I’ve been sleeping in the hall Monday to Friday alongside 2-3 other patients, as all rooms were filled. The Camiño was perfect training for this, earplug in and…. sleeep! Some of the other patients were easily disturbed in their sleep and I can’t imagine how hard it most be going through a lot of pain and getting no sleep. I told them if a room got available, please prioritize others then me, I’m good as is.
It’s been a weird start to the week. The night between last Saturday and Sunday I was feeling off, simply could not find a comfortable position to sleep in. No extraordinary pain, but enough to keep me awake. Thinking that this was feeling not quite normal, not like a food poisoning or upset stomach. I called the weekend docker early Sunday and got a time to get a checkup a 9:00. Arrived expecting the usual circus of people at the emergency weekend dockers, but it was luckily not full and I got in straight away. The doctors did an examination of the stomach and got quite worried as he could feel a pulse coming from the exact spot where I had pain.
I often thought to start blogging, it just seamed like getting out of the start box has been annoying hard. It’s not a lack of topics I want to share my idea about or interesting projects. It’s more about finding the time, or rather prioritizing the time, to actually sit down and write up a post. I don’t expect many to find this site, so mostly this comes down to me, wanting a place to recollect my ideas; thoughts and passions!
But my life is changing rapidly, everything I knew and thought was given, have been put through the shaker of life and not all have been left standing.
