Ever since moving down here, one of my big nightmares has been something seriously bad will happen that would involve having to phone an ambulance. That is something bad would happen to my husband and I would lose him. It's like this nagging thing that has been in my head since we got here and well, it sort of happened. A couple on nights ago he came home from work looking more tired thanusual, peaky, my motehr would say and complaining of a sore back / shoulder. So after a supper or schlemmerfilet ( fish) and over fries and corn, and some tv we went to bed early. I suggested he take a muscle relaxant for his back something he's done before and he agreed. 15 minutes later he's asking me if I can tell if his heart is beating okay. he's clammy, sweaty, white as a ghost and shaking like a leaf. Now we expect this crap from me, low BP and bad nerves...but he's never really been seriously sick in his life so I freak. First we get ahold of one of his work collegues and then I try for the ambulance, the ER number here after 4 tries was still a no go so I ended up calling the police. they patched me through and after a struggle to remember what stuff was in German everyone's second language here since Italian is the first they are on their way. The paramedics arrived ask all the right questions do some in house tests and decide that maybe he should go to the hospital. But he's not having aheart attack, it seems t be some sort of weird reaction. We were at the hospital for two hours and all tests show normal, but his BP was high. We got home thanks to his work mate and friend at around 3am. next day was sleep all day day and yesterday he saw our family doctor, wher they did a whole battery of blood tests etc.. and everything came up normal again conclusion was this muscle relaxant triggered this very unusual reaction. now.... this is a muscle relaxant that they would NOT prescribe here in switzerland, it does some really bad things to you. It was from germany...Yet you can buy it OTC in North America combined with asa or acetominophen ...the docs here are horrified and in germany our family doctor was shocked. You would never combi that here... he said. so lesson learned. not that M combi'd it with anything. we'll stick to plain asprine thanks. or suffer a bit of pain. he is fine, I am wreck but everything gis okay...next time I know what to do and how beter to deal with things. learning Italian and how to drivethe car have suddenlly become a priority. until then be excellent to each other... |

It's Monday and it's 5:30 ish and I am sad and bored. Boredom is a really ugly state of mind you know that. Imean there are a TON of things I could be doing, several things I shoudl get done soon...and I don't feel like doing any of them. What I really want to do is play SWG the way it was before the NGE nerf came. This leads me to the sad part. I miss this bloody game and the people I hung out with. How sad is that? so it's monday, it's dark cold we don't have tv or cable or even a working TV at all, we've seen all our dvds at least 5 times. and I am bored. I know sad me what a shame... millions of folks would give their eye teeth to be bored.. I UNDERSTAND This but it doesn't change anything. maybe it's winter blahs today or something. Could also bethe meds I am ono for my back as well, who knows... and am banging my head on the writer's brick wall today which is NOT HELPING. why am I writing this story at all? I'd ask does anyone care but I know at least one person does so .... today is just a monday I guess. it will pass. :( so I will stop whining now. hope yours is better where ever you all are. until then be excellent to each other. |

I hate christmas. I state that right off the bat. It's a bad time of year full of high expectations, high expenses and not a lot of cheer. Seems to me that the actual holiday has become more about greed than love. that's my holiday rant. on another note European christmas is nice,.... --- I got my second fan email today. How sweet is that? I know that the readership for DOTE has increased I see it in the web counter stats, helps I have the link as my sig in almost everything. I don't get a lot of feed back which is okay, I don't expect it either. I am writing this story for me, primarily but that tere are other people reading and going along for the ride makes it more fun and is inspirational. This person had a seriously good point though... it coudl use a little editing lol. as blog form the story works as is but not if I want to upload the pdf files at some point, way too dickensien wordiness for most folks and when i re read to make sure my continuity is still okay I am like omg do I have to say that the same way four times? answer nope. Answer is editing.... I have a printed form and I review it fairly frequently because it is easy to forget small details and easy to slip up. In blog formthe mistakes are less obvious but in book form they'd so be author intrusion or worse just so glaring that pple would go argh! but those of you who have left nice words and encouragement thanks it realll makes my day. --- so what else... not much my procrastination list is growing in accordance with my anxiety. :) I need to exersize more, while my fingers are in great shape from typing so much the rest of me can't even walk up the stairs without going holy out of shape bat man. So I do some aerobic stuff every day... keep the ticker from going ballistic.... looking forward to starting tai chi yippie! --- okay enough until then be excellent to each other! |

So we are back from our week in germany. It was a very good week. We started out by heading to Frankfurt to stay with Moskito, wheeeeee good times. WE went shopping for stuff, we went to see Serenity in english adn we bummed around Frankfurt for a bit then went back to his place and ate very yummy food. Then we drove up to ahrensburg on Sunday, amused the hotel staff by bringing in our house. ( everything and almost the kitchen sink) then it was off to work for M for two days while i sta in the hotel room reading the newest harry Potter with my feet up on the radiator suffering that time of the month. It was a nice relaxing time. Wednesday i went into work said hi and hung out with F. I get internet and a quiet corner. I spent the day on the swg forums and writing DOTE. Throughout the week we rented dvds ...batman begins GOOD surprisingly so, Fantastic four ...okay ... We watched a dvd version of Super Nova ( yummy) and ate out at all our fav restaruants ( you can't cook in a hotel room) Thursday we went to Hamburg and did teh christmas markets whicjh I love oh that is so Christmas and it was good weather clear and cold so the glue wine was a wonder. And the crepe was hot and good. Then we went to see SERENITY again over Harry Potter and it was even better the second time people go see this film. Friday we went over to Ms folks and thatw as just nice, great food, nice chat but i just fell asleep early. Sat we drove to J&Hs and had a great time. the boys went to see Harry Potter and i stayed back and had a grand chat with Honor. Cannot have better than this. today we drove home and it was fine till after gotthard when we hit the snow. We have snow here lots of it holy cow. anyway... back to writing.... Ideas about and merly and thrawn rock. serenity rocks and i cried when bad things happened ( no spoilers) anyhooo until then be excellent to each other... |
