One week on Androcur
I haven’t been writing as much as you’re used to. I have had a difficult week. Maybe I started working again too soon. Working was difficult for me. Each day seemed like an insurmountable eternity. And Saturday was a hectic day as well. Relax after a hard week of work? Come on! Today two paviours [...]
Back to work
This weekend I didn’t have to go back to sleep during the day, so I thought: “Then I can go back to work too…” It didn’t turn out to be very easy! You know, I often wonder, why a working day has to last for 8 hours anyway. Do employers really think, the number of [...]
Androcur
Today I took Androcur for the first time. I got the stuff from the chemist’s two weeks ago already, but it didn’t seem like a good idea to start taking it while I was still feeling so ill after my operation. I haven’t noticed any effect yet, but it is a fact: I am officially [...]
Baby Blue
I have finally created an English language version of my Eye-witness report on Baby Blue. Trust me, this is worth reading! It is one of the greatest theatre events I ever saw. And when I had seen it, I immediately wanted to take part in it. So that is what you see above: There I [...]
Missed a party
A very good friend of mine celebrated his birthday, but I couldn’t come. I haven’t left the house yet. Fortunately I do get some fresh air, because I can sit on our back porch. But a ride in the car? “I’d better not…” Julia did go to the party and she had a great time. [...]
Slowly recovering
After my return from the hospital several days had passed before I first switched the PC back on. But I did have so much to tell you! Fortunately I was able to set de date right on the diary entries to make it look like a day-to-day report for you… I am really disappointed by [...]
Quitting Smoking
When you are hospitalized, you are forced to refrain from smoking. So by the time you get out, you have kicked off already! Then you have two possibilities: Starting again Not starting again Hmm… Let’s be honest: We all know smoking is bad for your health. On top of that the combination of estrogen use [...]
Up, Up & Away!
This picture (which I took two weeks ago from my little window in the roof) expresses the feeling of my discharge from the hospital very well. I felt “On Top Of The World”, to quote another song text… And I also thought I was able to handle everything again and that I had completely recovered. [...]
Successful!
Yes, the operation went very well. I got a place in a ward with only women (purely by chance). Both the other ladies in the ward had much greater problems than I had. One was there for a bypass operation, the other had to be operated because of cancer. The fourth bed in the ward [...]
Operation
Tomorrow I will be operated. No, it is not what you think! This is an operation, not the operation. That one is still in the distant future. Several attempts have been made to cure my hemorrhoids in a less intrusive way. They put little rubber bands around the base of some hemorrhoids which then die [...]
