Operation

Som nogle af jer ved, så har jeg en cyste, som jeg har været i medicinsk behandling for. Desværre hjælper det ikke, så nu skal den væk.
Derfor har jeg lige i dag fået at vide, at jeg skal opereres fredag 12/9 - altså om to uger. På grund af min tidligere operation for to år siden, så kan den kun fjernes ved en lidt større operation. Og når man så er i gang, så vil man så også fjerne nogle nye muskelfibromer, som jeg også har fået (magen til det, jeg fik fjernet for to år siden dog meget mindre).

Det hele er lidt overvældende, da jeg troede, at jeg kunne nøjes med et lille indgreb men nu istedet skal have en rigtig operation, 5 dage på hospitalet og 4-6 ugers orlov efterfølgende. Også tanken om at skulle være langt væk "hjemmefra" er lidt skræmmende, men jeg har nu fred i, at det skal være her i Schweiz.

I må meget gerne bede for:
At alt må gå godt med operation og bagefter
At det ikke bliver nødvendigt at fjerne min højre æggestok
At jeg må have råd til operationen (noget betales af forsikringen, andet af patienten)

As some of you know I have a cyst on my ovary that the doctor has tried to treat with medicine but it has not worked so now I need an operation in two weeks time (Friday 12th of September).
Normally this would be a small surgery but because of a previous operation I had two years ago the doctor needs to do a much bigger surgery. And since he has also discovered some fibromas (I think that’s the English name) he will also try to remove them to prevent another operation soon. The fibromas are normally harmless – it is what I had removed two years ago too.

It is all a bit overwhelming since I thought I only needed a small surgery but now it’s a big thing including five days in hospital and six weeks off from work afterwards. Also the thought of being far away from my home country and family and old friends seems a bit overwhelming. However I have peace about having the operation here.

So to sum up – I would really appreciate prayers for:
The operation and the recovery
That the surgeon does not need to remove my right ovary
That I can afford the part of the cost that is not covered by the insurance

Sommer - Summer

Sommerferie oh sommerferie

Telttur med kirken i Norge
Varme sommerdage med masser af badeture
God tid, god lovsang og godt fællesskab

Tilbage i Danmark
Regn, regn og atter regn
Hygge med veninder, venner, familie og andre væsener
Familieweekend med bål, badeture, god mad og masser af hygge

(Bålhygge med familien - Bonfire with the family)

I Tivoli med Miriam, Marcus, Hanna og Far - In Tivoli (amusement park) with Miriam, Marcus, Hanna and Dad)

(Farmand er stadig verdens stærkeste! Han kunne stadig slå så hårdt at klokken ringede. - Dad is still the strongest man in the world - he punched so hard the bell was ringing.)

Og så selvfølgelig Jonatan – feriens højdepunkt

Storken kom pludselig meget uventet og meget hurtigt forbi med en lille dreng til min søster og svoger, Jette og Filip.
Ham har vi ventet på længe. Og han er simpelthen en vidunderdreng!
Hele familien elsker ham rigtig meget

Summer holiday, oh summer holiday

Camping in Norway with my church
Warm summer days with lots of swimming in the sea
Lots of time, good worship and good fellowship

Back in Denmark
Rainy, rainy days
Cosy times with friends, family and other creatures
A family weekend with bonefire, nice food and lots of good fellowship

And then there is Jonatan – the highlight of the holiday
The stork very suddenly decided to bring a little baby boy to my sister and brother in law, Jette & Filip
We have been waiting for him for a long long time and he is a wonder boy
We all love him very much
