Have a nice day!
Well, well, well…
The good news. The”re-wiring” worked. My digestive system seems to completely start up and slowly I can eat a little. Unfortunately, there is still the “occasional” nausea, but it gets better.
I lost plenty of weight and I was never a big guy, more tall and skinny and now I am a walking skeleton.
I was not aware of how much time I need to recover. I would say half of the journey is over. “Bergfest” another four weeks minimum and then it’s back to work. I am looking forward to being back because I like the work and my team is amazing. We know our stuff, we are German, we are efficient, and we are highly decorated. GO German Virtual!
Anyhow, next week Tuesday the Rehabilitation starts. Three weeks minimum. They will need a bit more time because they need to install and adjust an insulin pump and that takes time. I slowly transform into a cyborg. First the sensor and now a pump. Enough questions for the check-in.
A friend of mine stays in my flat because he found a job nearby. So, that’s taken care of.
So, let’s see what happens next.

Animal Shelter – Stendal Borstel
This morning Indy checked into the Animal Shelter Stendal-Borstel.

The recovery process
It’s good to be home, but it’s not easy. I am exhausted, every task lasts longer and I am already happy when I am able to walk Indy to the second bench.
I never imagined that it will be so hard to arrange life, doing the dishes or just get some bread.
Except for one or two walks with Indy, I am not able to do anything and I sleep all day.
There’s no pain anymore just the usual nausea. It’s not easy to eat while you are nauseous, but I found a little variety of foods I can stand. Canned fruits, flakes, soup, some vegetables. Bread is ok, some fresh cheese, light pate, but everything fat requires a pill. Tea is ok, but very little coffee and no carbonated drinks.
