Ingo felt a little better today! Yay! Time didn´t crawl endlessly and we chatted! We did!
Yesterday one of his bed neighbors needed some privacy so we went out. I would have walked out alone but Ingo wanted to join me.
It´s just a few meters to the lounge. But Ingo was breathless. Didn´t look at me. Today he told me he got tunnel vision from getting up.
But today was better, really, I am so glad.
His brother, Martin, e-mailed. He had talked to the doctor yet again. The pancreas still functions, will produce hormones and enzymes in the future, too. I am so glad.
He wants to come for a visit, I guess tomorrow. Maybe we meet in hospital. Will be odd somehow. I really thought he was very selfish (well, he WAS!!!). It is clear to me he does not like to write. He didn´t have my phone number so he e-mailed me nonetheless to keep me up to date with the news from the doc here - not selfish at all! - And he has my phone number now since he asked for it.
Bad news he got as well. Last time I talked to the Grandmother she had a cold. She is in hospital now - pneumonia. Martin took care.
Bad news II: Ingo´s car´s electronic was dead when I had a look at it. I can see the car from the bedroom window but it´s always better to have a closer look. It was in inspection last month only! But the guy from the garage told me it might be the cold temperatures.
Luckily my new colleague has a jumper cable and I hope we gonna manage to get the car running again without further help. Boy. If it comes it comes all at once!
I am used to being alone again. Just like all the years we saw each other only on the weekends.

Went to the gym today... ahhh, so few people, it was great!
I don´t go inbetween the week at the moment. When I come back from hospital, it´s too late. It´s so darn full of people, it´s no fun.
Hopefully my muscles aren´t too sore tomorrow - I bet on Sundays it´s even emptier!
Nothing on TV tonight. Well. Despite the awful voice, I´ll watch Jag, I guess. I could go in German. But. It´s a challenge, really! Not too easy to understand for me in the original. And well. He looks cute.
So, just to keep you updated - I guess we´re on the way back to normal. Slowly, but we go!
And on Thursday, if everything stays as planned, I will see my brother, yay. More yay, I´ll get my last birthday-present! Na. Not "more" yay, also yay! :-)
DARN IT. Fergie - "Finally". I have it in my ear now. Argh! Do native people have the same problem or are those just normal words for ya? HMPHGH...
And no... I didn´t chose the piano-pic due to music. I put "happy" in the search engine of stock.xchng!

Oh, I'm so happy Ingo is beginning to feel better. That's great news. Will he need to attend a rehabilitation center after his hosptial stay? Here, if you're in the hospital for a few weeks, and are not able to get up and about daily, they move you to a "rehab" place - to build muscle and stamina back up. He may need that if he was so breathless on the way to the lounge.
I'm also glad things are going well with Martin. Soon Iris - this will all be behind you. :~)
Hmmm, Wendy, no, I do not think he will go to rehab.
The medical system is bad. The bureaucracy is a big enemy here. You need to go to the doc? Pay 10 euro. Dentist? Is no doc - 10 euro. Need help on the weekend? 10 euro. Physiotherapy - the minimum is given. Dunno if you pay 10 euro or more.
Well I guess it´s the water in the lungs that made him so short-breathed.
But Martin said today, physiotherapy will help, so I hope Ingo listens to his brother.
Yips, Wendy, thanks! Ingo is getting better and better! :-)
