Trying To Cool Off..

My brother, George, was out in the garden the other day tilling it up so we an plant flowers. It was almost 100F, which is unusual for Ohio in May. So he came in & put an ice pack on his head to cool off. LOL He's such a dork.

Ok so I decided to use Google Chrome to see if it will let me post this. Hopefully it works. *crosses fingers*

    Don't make me panic ! Nicolettchen !!!
    Pneumonia can be fatal even for young persons if it's too late to start the treatment. .....

    I'm really glad you were not too late, and became well, though I think you still need some days for the complete recovery.

    I guess that " wrong throat 1. " might be the first cause.

    ... I understand you engaged in the " percussion ", Nicolettchen. .....

    I hope you can sleep well and eat well, bc I'm afraid you've lost some weights due to coughing.

    yes, you're right. the sooner to the doctor is the better.

    btw, it seems there is an international rule among the doctors. The patients can take the treatment after they are checked if they are patient. My dad often says " what does appointment mean ? ", bc we have to wait for hours even though we have an appointment in the hospital. But, your percussion was so fascinating for the doctor that he rushed to you ! ... ;-)))

    Please take good care of you, my dear Nicoletta. I cross fingers for you !
    Kisses & Hugs !

    It's pity that you have to go to the orthopedic today, corinna. ...
    Is it not the first time you had this trouble ? ( scapular blade ) As I started visiting here from last October or so, I may not know about it. ... Sorry. .....

    yes, we are familiar with doctors recently. ... :-))) But ALS looks free from the health troubles which he suffered several times during the last season. At first it comes to ALS, then to us, and it leaves us soon, I do hope so !!!

    I cross fingers for you, my dear corinna !
    I hope you get well soon !
    kisses & Hugs !

    I have the concert again tonight, and my heart will be occupied by you, dear my friends !!!

    The living statue ! I acutally watched it many times in the city, the one by the artist, and the other by the non-artist. Japanese people sleeps very often in the commuter trains, in the cafes. And in the trains they often sleep while standing !
    So you're 3/4 Japanese, my dear dana. ... ;-)))

    I hope you'll have an easygoing life for a while, bc I think the thyroid needs the rest.

    btw, as I mentioned before, our Empress has had the thyroid trouble. and our Crown Princess has the panic attacks for years.
    You guess what I mean, ... ;-)))dana ?

    Back to serious, please have a good rest, my dear dana. I'm sure things will be better for you !
    Kisses & Hugs !

  6. @Mel. & @Giffy. and @all American girls !
    We've known that there are many tornados in the States, but it looks there are more than usual this year. Am I wrong ? .....
    After reading it's 100F in June in Ohio and it's not usual, I thought about the strange weather. I think the weather in Japan becomes strange for the recent years. It's 15.8℃ in Tokyo now, and it seems alsmot impossible in June, however the weather report says it'll be 26℃ tomorrow which is normal.

    Hope your people will recover from the tornados very soon ! All for the best.

    Kisses & Hugs !

  7. Hi Ladies

    Thanks very much for your kind words regarding my health!

    @Dana

    Interesting and quite peculiar your first visit with your psychiatrist!

    So many emergency cases!

    Wish you all the best dear Dana, and that you are satisfied with the medicament, when you try it out.

    @Mel

    Thumbs up for Google Chrome!

    Enjoy the warm days in Ohio!
    Planting trees and flowers sounds great!

    Was shocked about your story, dear Corinna!

    Hope you recover soon and the orthopedic can help you, because the side effects are really scary!

    Have you troubles with a nerf? Hast du einen Nerf eingeklemmt??

    Take good care, Corinna!

  9. @Ekaterina

    Hope I will recover step by step! This morning I felt again quite ill, and coughing is back!

    Hope the doctor gave me the right dosis with the antibiotica, pain killer and aerosol-spray for the bronchia! He meant when it is not better, I shall come in 7 days to visit him again.

    I have had only three times antibiotica in my life, and it helped much sooner.

    But perhaps it is because, I was suffering from troubles with the respiratory system for a longer period before. I must stay positive!

  11. @mel i be happy for you that the blog work again well! for me i don´t like google chrome! but as long as you can handle it is ok!
    i have windows vista and windows office on my laptop and it works real good! thanks god!

    @ekaterina i have normally problems with a the fifth or six rib when you count down from up! but on the right side and not on the left side! since a work training for two years i have this problems!
    this sylvester it was so heavy that my dad nearly called the emergency bc i had problems to breathe and it was like i will die, but after i crunched my ribs and spines like in the vid from aksel of the olympics preparation it´s gone better! i know how to crunch them by my self!
    i have sometimes also problems with my left shoulder blade but not so heavy like this time!normally it hurts for one or two seconds and then it is ok! but that is bc of my rib!
    this time it feels so terrible and even today i have problems to move my right arm!
    today is nationalday "christi himmelfahrt" so everything is closed and i have to go to the orthopedic tomorrow!

    @nicoletta yes i think it is a nerv! or the sympathetic/parasympathetic bc of my sweating!
    i have problems with that ones already in january/feburary but after my boss give me a therapy it was better!

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sympathetic_nervous_system

    http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sympathikus

    i really hope @nicoletta that your treatment will work out for you and that you feel better soon!

    @all have a great day today!

  12. @mel wow 37,8°C did i get it right 100°F are 37,8°C?!
    wow that is hot!
    but i know this temperation from lago di garda and the best thing to do when it is so hot, jump into a pool! and try to cool down!

    bc of the tornados and the different weather, i think there are in every decades or every 10 years some years with more changes in weather or sometimes it is hotter and sometime it is cooler or sometimes it rains more in a summer and sometimes not, even in the winter we have winters with lot of snow and even with lesser snow!
    i remember me a winter when we was on the first of december still in a out door swimmingpool bc it was so hot! there i was 3 or 4 years old!
    i think this is normal, bc it can´t be every year the same weather!

  13. @Corinna

    If you suffer from that Sympaticus thing, it looks a bit scary to me!

    Thanks for posting the link, Corinna!

    I remember, my mom had often troubles with kind of pinched nerfs, many years ago. It is a nasty thing!

    Hope you feel better soon.

    Spontaniously it comes to my mind, you could see an osteopath? I know, you know much more than I about that treatment!

    Take good care, Corinna!!!

    ReplyDelete
  14. @nicoletta well when the osteopatics wouldn´t be so expensive i would to do this!
    and think about to make "fortbildung in osteopathi" next year!

    i sounds scary about the sympaticus but when you know what you can do, you can handle it good! and i got "Novamil" against the pain!

    i feel a bit better today!

    how do you feel today? how is your cough?

    ReplyDelete
  15. @Corinna

    I know the osteopath are very expensive, here in Zurich too! It is kind of a hype here, and there are not yet so many.

    But for certain special diseases they seem to be good, they say!

    I was once, he was the former pysiotherapist of my partner! I didn't find it that spectacular by the way!

    But I am sure, he earns a lot of money with osteopathie. He is a big good looking guy and very communicative, but despite of my expectations he could not help me much.

    If you can cure with medicaments and the orthopedic, I personally think it is the better solution. It was just an idea.

    The education of an oesteopath takes 5 years, while you are paralell working normally as a pysiotherapist (in Switzerland it is like that). If you are interested, it would be an option, Corinna.

    My coughing is still here, because I probably speak to much! LOL
    But my parner also speaks a lot, and I can't be so quiet as I should.

    To be honest, I do not see a big difference to my earlier problems with a cold! I doubt a bit, if it is really pneumonia! And the portion of antibiotics are a bit law for my weight, he mentionned.

    But any way, after the 7 days, I will be healthy, so I strongly hope!

    Wish you a relaxing weekend, Corinna, and hopefully we both feel healthy soon!

    Hope very much you can go to Italy without problems! The sun will be good for you, and I am also awaiting to go out.

    I read an article about healing with the sun, and I am really impressed.

    I mean the sun in the early morning or later evening, at least I believe it is working for many troubles with the health.

    Let's hope for Summer time to be back soon, we need the sunlight and the warm weather, don't you think so?

    Take care, Corinna!

  16. @nicoletta also here in germany the school for osteopathia take 5 years! and you have to work beside!

    i will when i do it, then next year, so in september 2012!the semesters are always going form september to march and in this time you have per month 1 weekend or better 4 days school from thursday to sunday!

    i really hope that your pneumonia will go away soon!
    but take care, i don´t know if you know when you take antibotica you should not go out in the sun, bc the sun had bad influence to the antibotica! (die wirkung ist dann nicht mehr die gleiche und es kann zu verbrennungen kommen, d.h z.b. können sich deine finger und zehen nägel schwarz verfärben)http://www.news.de/gesundheit/855066892/antibiotikum-und-sonne-vertragen-sich-nicht/1/

  18. Pippa caused a lot of trouble on ALS blog.

    @Corinna OMG I'm so glad you do know how to crunch your own ribs "like Olympic preparation." Thank goodness. I would like to see the video of you doing it when you have time. :)

    @Nicoletta I thought of you today. I was watching the Pope and Vatican on TV and they interviewed the Swiss guards and their costumes. They were very handsome, funny, well-spoken young men. You should be very proud.

    Anyway, feel better soon everybody. Have to read yesterday to find out about Darling Dana and the Doctor. That sounds like a Romance novel or Romanian Novel. Hugs all around!

  19. @Nicoletta. @corinna.
    You may feel strange, but in Japan, there are not so many pysiotherapists, and the education system of the both profession, pysiotherapist & orthopedics, is totally different ! I often think Japanese laws are old and not kind to us. I don't know much about the medical things, but I feel naturally the pysiotherapist and orthopedic have to cooperate to work together for the patients.

    I'm sad that there is no " Fortbildung " in Japan. Going to the medical uni of high tuition fee to become a doctor, or going to the vocational college of physiotherapist. And they'll not see each other in life except some hospitals which some physiotherapists work together with the orthopedic in good harmony. But normally the physiotherapists in the hospitals work only for the patients of bad or worse condition, or for their rehabilitaion. To cost down the finance, hospital would not like to employ the physios.

    Anyhow there are so many contradiction among the medical body & people in Japan due to our old law. ... :-( ...

    Hope you both feel much better. corinna to orthopedic today, and Nicoletta to the doctor next week. I cross fingers for you !!!

  20. @Giffy

    You gave my my first coughing of this morning, I mean my first laughter!! LOL

    That's great you have seen the Swiss guards on TV.

    I believe you, this are handsome young men! That they made such a good impression to you makes me happy indeed. Very charming that they are funny and well-spoken.

    As I'm told about the Swiss guards they just choose simply the best. They have to undergoing many very strong tests.

    Furthermore, I know they come mostly from the same catholique cantons, even families, a lot of tradition.

    As you know, I love history, here a link for those who are interested to learn more about the Swiss guards:

  22. In order for my Dana and the Doctor novel to work we first have to change the Dr. to a Male. Then he has to be 6'4" tall, broad hairy chest, dazzling smile, sparkly eyes and nice hands.

    @Nicoletta Sorry I made you laugh/cough. I am ridiculous.

    Feel better everyone! It's almost the weekend. I'm off to work where I probably won't earn the price of a pair of shoes. Enjoy!

    The atmosphere pressure makes the shape of the wave running around the earth, and Europe and Japan have the opposite pressure each other. When it's warm in Europe, it's not warm in Japan even in summer, and vice versa.

  27. Hi everyone!!

    @Giffy
    You're not ridiculous, you're funny! LOL You made me laugh and I'm in a good mood now, though I didn't feel very well this morning. My pulse went crazy,it was 105 bpm. I think it's bc of my thyroid pills, starting today I increased the dose from 25 to 50mg. This is the normal dose from now on.

    I like your suggestion, less that "hairy" part, AM is into hairy men, not me! But I agree with the rest, even with @Ekaterina's add-the spandex! Hahaha! But bc it's summer and the weather is hot, I think it's better to let poor guy to breathe, so spandex off! LMAO
    And I think I'll not need medicine to get well! He's my medicine!:)))

    Have a nice and easy day at at work, my dear Sis!

    @Ekaterina
    No, I didn't get the prescription yet, maybe next week! To be honest, I don't like that I have to take these pills, I'll become sleepy and it will be very unpleasant for me to be like this at work! And I can't take some days off right now!

    How's your finger, my dear Ekaterina? I hope it will be 100% recovered soon, I know you need all your fingers in a good health!

    I have to brag with a Romanian guy who reached the finals of Norway's got talent, hope you'll like his music (for me it sounds like music film)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bnkb3QLxK48

    Have a nice weekend! Rub little Ekaterina's belly for me, please! Grrr!:))

    @Nicoletta

    I'm glad you feel a little better! Please, take good care of you! When you'll be fine, we'll celebrate your recovery with some rose wine and chocolate! LOL And with a lot of good music, I can be the dj if you trust my musical taste! Haha!
    Get well soon, hun! And have a restful weekend!

    @Corinna
    I ask you once again: take care of your body!!! Enough! No more injuries! Haha!
    Serious now, I hope you have a good day at work, with not much pain. Let us know what the orthopedist said about your shoulder and rib!
    Take care baby! And be good girl!:))

  29. @Ekaterina

    Thanks for your kind words, Ekaterina! I try to do my best.

    But to be honest, I am not yet healthy, and after some days I finally can say, I feel different than with other colds.

    In the mornings, I feel ok and than it changes. After a lot of coughing I feel totally done.

    I should try to be more patient, perhaps the doctor was right with the pneumonia? I doubted it, because he did made no blood test, and I have no fever.

    You know, the 15 minutes for which I had the chance to see him were a bit short and I felt totally exhausted. Many questions are open!

    I know, I am an awful patient, Ekaterina! LOL

    The spandex make me laugh too! Big joke, Ekaterina! Would look incredibly strange to have a doctor in spandex!

    @all at the orthopedic it was funny today
    i went in and he looked at me then i said who i am and he said nice to finally meet you, bc i heared a lot of good things about your work! then i get a bit blushed (i was at the orthopedic where the most of my patients are going to) then he asked me how he can help me, i said him what happened and he just said put off your shirt and let me see! then he make some test with my left arm and he saw that i can´t move my left arm like my right arm! then he asked if i have right now some pains! i said yes, this doesn´t feel so good what you are doing right now with my arm, he looked at me real shocked and said even when you have such a pain you have a high motion in your shoulder that is amazing!he didn´t make a x-ray he just said i have some tension around my shoulder blade and he give me a recipe for manuell therapy!

    @ekaterina i normally will be able to do also some "fortbildungen" in japan as a physiotherapist!

    GREAT !!!!!
    Congratulations to you, my dear corinna on the certification ! Now you'll have more opportunities to experience so many things ! including " fortbildnungen " in various country ! I guess you could not sleep well last night due to the excitement !

    btw, I think your orthopedics is really reliable and I'm so happy about that. The manual therapy is always the best. Of course it sometimes has to ask help for the surgery like Mel took when it is the best choice, but the good manual therapy must be available for anybody who needs it, bc it is the best.

    btw(2), any news about O-104 ? I feel the vegetables have the hard time now, bc there's a fear about the radiation in Japan, and a fear about O-104 in Europe, however I know it comes from some unknown sources and happens to touch the vegetables.

    Hope you get well soon, my dear corinna !

    Bogdan Alin Ota !!!
    yes, he really deserves ! Thanks for the link, dana !
    I agree with Norwegian people. He is so talented and has the excellent and refined style of music. The film music is one of his potentials, but I think his music can walk independently without the film or the stage set. He is also gifted to compound various musical instruments with the piano.
    He can present the grand works, for example the title is " Four Seasons ", " Life of the Poet ", and so on. I mean he is not only the musician of many works of the short pieces, but also the long pieces.
    btw, dana, his family name Ota is one of Japanese family names, too ! however the pronunciation may be a little different, though I'm not sure.

    Then, the pulse 105/m isn't comfortable at all, I suppose. It's just a pity that you cannot take some days off now, dana. But I think it's OK today, bc it's Sunday. I understand you are fond of the household, bc I think it often makes us relax. But please do not do it so much for a while.
    and 25mg to 50mg now might bring you a little more side effects.

    Exactly. Dr.ALS feels too warm in spandex in this season. ... ;-))) so, the palm short now, instead. ... ;-))) I feel the girl with green and slightly oblique eyes looks really attractive !!! Now you can start the novel. ... :-)))

    Thanks for thinking about my poor finger, dana.
    It has passed 3 weeks now, and I can clap hands almost normally. But I sometimes feel a pain, though it's much much less than before, especially in the part of the nail. Playing the piano is the same as hitting the tip of the fingers, so I think I had better wait to do so for some more weeks.

    Do you hear her Grrrr, dana ? I rub her soft belly saying this time from our friend dana.

    Have a restful and beautiful Sunday, my dear dana !

    How is coughing ? Nicolettchen ?
    Though I've heard there are several types of pneumonia, it's not easy for me to connect " no fever " with " antibiotics ". But I think you suffer from the very early stage of pneumonia, almost like a bronchitis. I think the X-ray tells it. But whichever it is, I worry about your cough, bc you'll have to be so exhausted by it.

    yes, we'll be all OK soon, so we must start the arrangement for our recovery party ! But I think some cases might take longer, but let's do not worry about it, bc it's good to take enough time to hold the important party like this ! ... ;-))) and let's be patient !

    Did your partner have a good sleep, then ? Half, I suppose, bc he misses you !

    Hope you have a restful and quieter Sunday, my dear Nicoletta !

    Lobster ! I'd like to use it to my Japanese friends here, however it is not so warm here yet.

    I see Ella May is growing every day even if she doesn't eat much. Ella May wears the fur coat, so she feels warmer than us.

    Mel, when you have an enough time, please send us her voice, too !

    Hope you enjoy the pool time & the cool time, my dear Mel !

    I just read your post and I have a BIG smile on my face! Thanks!:))
    Do you mean my Doctor should wear his famous palm shorts? And shirtless?:))) I'd love it!!! I'm writing the novel in my mind, but I can't tell! I let the imagination of all of you to do its job! Hahaha!
    Don't think about naughty things!!!:))) You all know I'm very shy, I'd never dare to think of such things! LMAO

    Thanks for your nice words about Bogdan Ota! I saw him just on two little videos, but he seems a nice and modest person, very sensible, with a beautiful soul! He has a great potential! He's from Botosani, Moldova region, from the same county as my mom!:) Read Ota like in OTTAwa!lol

    Of course I hear your little baby sister GRRRR! I know she loves you to rub her soft and warm belly!:))

    I'm sorry that you still cannot play piano as you want, I really wish your finger to get well very soon! I know this is very important to you!

    About my thyroid pills, I didn't take the pill yesterday and my pulse was OK, today I took just 25mg and I'll try to increase the dose some other day. About the other prescription-nothing yet! I'm still waiting! LOL


    @Nicoletta & Corinna

    How are you, my ladies? Do you feel better? Hope so! I don't like to know you're ill! Take care of you please!

    @ Mel
    Is very hot again there? Hope you're still breathing! Haha! Do you take your little baby in the pool with you? Does she like ice cream?:))

    @Giffy
    How are you, my dear Sis? Hope it's not as hot there! Wish you a wonderful day!

    Thanks for thinking of me!

    Wonderful to hear you enjoyed a beautiful, sunny weekend!

    Please try to do today a "lazy" Sunday and relax a little bit, dear Dana!

    Perhaps you can write a bit on the novel! LOL

    Take care, dear Dana!

    Thank you for your kind words, Ekaterina!

    You are right, some health problems take more time!
    I am very concerned, your finger is not cured totally. But I am very positive, everything will be fine!

    My personal diagnosis for my coughing is, I suffer from a kind of virus that brings me the coughing! It is more annoying than seriously ill.

    As you perhaps remember the coughing started in last Semptember, and comes and goes.

    Looking very much forward to the recovery party!

    In the meantime I started to sip little drops of Cognac, it helps me much more than the stupid cortison aersol spray. LOL!

    The spray is absolutely useless to me, because I have no problems with breathing. It does not stop the caughing at all!

    You know, I am very much into grandmother's medicine, and going to the doctor was just an idea, because I was a bit worried.

    Looking very much forward to the recovery party!

    It takes time, but I am very positive, we all will be fine!

    Have a beautiful Sunday, dear Ekaterina!

    Hugs & Kisses!

    Thank you so much for taking care of me! I'd like to have a lazy day but it's impossible! Me and my boys have so many things to do, we have to demolish the terracotta fireplace/stove, (sorry, I don't know the English right word) in my dad's room, to build a new one, then we have to repair the ceiling and the walls bc there are a few cracks on them, then we have to paint the room! Well, we'll not do all these things by ourselves, we'll pay a professional. I know, I may ask Aksel to help me with painting, but I think he deserve a vacation in nature! LOL I'll call him after I'll finish with all this stuff, to check my heart and my pulse after I did effort! Hahaha! To prescribe me the right treatment and to teach me what I have to do to feel better! :)))

    I'm into old naturist remedies too, I think many of them are better than allopathic medicine, bc they have no side effects. You also may use honey, it's good for your immune system.
    Haha! I see, when you have a flu you use red wine, now you're coughing and you use Cognac!!! I'd like to know for what are you using beer? LMAO

    I think we all are waiting for the recovery party!:))

    Girls,I have some funny videos from AM and from my aunt in B! Enjoy them!
    @Ekaterina
    Hope your little sister will love them too! You'll see why! :))

    Thanks for making me laugh!

    Yes, I switched over from red wine to Cognac sytem! Not anymore in the mood for red wine.
    At the moment, I am happy with Cognac (only 1/3 of a small glass), not that you think that I am on the way to become an alcoholic! LOL!

    @Corinna

    Limoncello - what a wonderful name! Could be a very good option. HaHa

    Weather in Zurich is warm 25 degrees, not much sun and "schwül", we expect a thunderstorm!

    @Dana

    Beer I do not like so much, sorry Dana! Honey I like in general, but it is so sticky on the teeth. LOL

    Please do not work too much, dear Dana, for that you have the two boys!!

    Regarding of the painting, I was also immediately thinking of Aksel. Really funny!

    Doctor Aksel will cure you, I am so sure, Dana!

  53. @dana then you have also to try crema de limonecello! it is also real tasty!

    i drunk the first time in my life in the age of 7 years, a spot of limoncello, bc my dad has some partners from his business in italy and that one came, it was in the middle of winter and i had a real bad cough so the business partner of my dad told my parents that i have to drink a shot of limoncello so that cough will gone away! my parents were shocked bc i was first 7 years old, but that guy just give me this to drink! and i can say the next day i was healthy again!

    btw, You're and you're going to be very busy with the repair of your house, dana. It's the same in Japan, we ask the professional people to do these things and pay. I think every house needs the maintenance and repair to live comfortably, but honestly speaking it's not so fun that we have to hear the noise of the work and have to spend restless time at home, though I recognize it's worthwhile.
    The terra cotta fireplace ! It's another my dream, dana. .....

  58. @corinna.
    The Limoncello is strong ! I've heard. But very fantastic taste, I've heard, too !
    I think it is also natural remedy for a 7-year-old girl. The alcohol is a good medicine if we take it a little dose. ... :-))

    As for our vegetables, our government has not worked well for these 3 months after 3.11, and we're not sure if we can trust them or not. There is heavy confusion among the farmers and consumers now, bc our government would not speak things clearly. Anyhow I buy the vegetables produced in location very far from the Fukushima 1.

    I'm so happy that your finger goes better and better, soon you'll be able to play piano, I think you miss this thing very much!

  63. Hope everyone is feeling better this week and got rested over the weekend. It is impossible for me to get on the computer on the weekend. My dear husband is a computer hog.

    @Ekaterina Thank you for asking about my weather. The weather was beautiful this weekend. You're right it was a strange, unusual, tornado-ish month of May, but the last couple of days have been beautiful. The faucet was expensive, the old one was part plastic, and it's no wonder I broke it. I bought brushed nickel. I was enjoying reading your baby Sis' comments on ALS about the fox and the rabbit. Eirik looks like Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Isn't the shadow funny?

    @Corinna I want you to come "Fortbildungen" here in the US. Congrats! We're all very proud of you. I promise I will never give your brother, or mine, Or Mel's, a garden hose. The result is always wet.

    @Dana I've only earned one pair of shoes and it will take me forever to get the matching purse. I was just looking online at the price...ugh! Work is hell. (haha two days a week!)

    @Nicolleta I hope you're feeling better, and now while you sip your cognac and rest I will begin the story of Dana and The Doctor. Feel free to add to it or offer suggestions! :)

    Chapter One

    Dana was on time for her first doctor's appointment and waiting in the examining room with the door open. It was a new doctor for her, and she was feeling a little shy, a little curious about what the doctor would look like? Just then a very tall shadow swept by the open door. Who could that be, another patient perhaps? The tall man was wearing spandex biking gear and carrying a bike helmet. He peeked in her room, and with a smirk on his face nodded hello! It was almost as if he was saying "What's up?" Dana was suddenly thirsty and wanting to spend more time in the company of the shadow man said, "Could I get a drink of water?"

    Tune in tomorrow for the continuation of:
    Dana and The Doctor.

    ReplyDelete
  64. @Giffy
    Hahahahahaha!!!!!! Doctor LOVE!!!!!
    You're amazing, Sis!!!

    But there's something true in your story: the door was open!! LOL And a tall guy really came into the room where I was waiting just a few minutes before the doctor to invite me into her office! Why couldn't he come earlier, I waited there alone for so long!! My dad was outside, walking...LOL And I even talked to that guy a little. I think he was about Aksel's age, but he didn't wear a spandex suit, he had not a bike helmet!!! He was wearing jeans and a plaid shirt!! Oh, now I realize-PLAID SHIRT!!!! Haha!

    Hope The Doctor didn't give me water with the hose!!! :))) Or it was a wet-shirt contest, between The Doctor and me?? I guess I won, bc mine were bigger than his!!!LMAO

    GUTTER ALARM!!! GUTTER ALARM!!! GUTTER ALARM!!

    I think it's better YOU to continue the novel, my mind goes astray when it comes about The Doctor!!! Hehe! I'm very curious what's next!!!

    Wish you to find the matching purse for your new shoes soon!
    Have a nice week at work, my dear! Working TWO days a week? God, you must be exhausted at the end of the week! Hahaha!!

    Yes, Eirik looks like Anthony of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers!:))

    Give your mom my best regards! Hope your boys are fine!
    Love you, Sis!

  65. @giffy i would like to come to the u.s. for some "fortbildungen" but there is one problem! in the u.s. it isn´t allowed to make "fortbildungen" with real patient, there you can just make "fortbildungen" and train on your self or on the other students!
    here in europe you can invite patients to "fortbildungen" so you can try the things you learn right now out on real patients, which is real good so you can see how patients react on things you do and there is always a teacher around you so you can´t do things wrong!

    @giffy and dana i can´t wait to read the next part of the novel!

    haha i be in for the wet t-shirt contest oh and i know since yesterday how it work out the best way!! haha

    oh and @giffy thanks for keeping me away from garden hose!

    Your answer on chapter 1, was quite cool too. HaHa

    @Corinna

    What about London for Fortbildungen!
    As I was in London, I shared my room with a girl from Australia, also a physio! Just an idea!

    HaH, Limoncello was unknown to me!

    @Ekaterina

    Did you start to wear the "Cool Biz" or do you even take in consideration to swich over to "Super Cool Biz". HaHa

    The Japanese are amazing people, must be a wonderful atmoshpere working with this outfits! LOL

    Look at this link:

    How are you getting along with the newly adopted honey system ? Nicolettchen ? ... ;-)))

    You made me amazing, my dear Nicoletta !
    My Super Cool Biz is the sleeveless dress, Which I love most through the year when it's possible.

    ... :-))) the girls' dress code of Cool Biz is free choice !


    When it first started in 2005, it was just a campaign for fight against global warming, as Tengu says. But it's more and really serious this year due to power shortage caused by the troubles of AKW which covers about 25% of our whole power, as you see.

    But actually most Japanese people feels ( Super ) Cool Biz for men looks slovenly. I think some looks nice, but some looks apparently mmmmmmmmmmmm ... ;-))) It depends on the sense. ... ;-))) And some people ( men ) says he prefers to the suit with a tie during the office hours, bc he can well concentrate on work in the suit with a tie.

    @ekaterina how are the things in tokyo?
    did i get it right that cool biz is for getting down with the high energy prizes? so you wear comfortable clothes to get not so hot when you work?

    @giffy where is the second part of the novel???

    @Nicoletta Hope you are feeling better today?
    Yes, I do need sandals. I have several pairs, but always want more. What color should I buy?

    @Ekaterina My hellish job makes it impossible to make the novel. And I get distracted - oh! there's a hummingbird! Feel free to help me with ideas! :)

    @Dana OMG Dana forgive me. I hope you don't mind my dear Sis. I can always change the names to protect the innocent? I love you too much to hurt your feelings.

    @Corinna As you wish. Here goes:

    This is absolutely a work of fiction. Any similiarities to persons living or dead is merely coincidental.

    Chapter Two

    The Shadowman says, "I was just on my way to get some water. I think we can find cups in here." The Shadowman walks over to the sink, finds two paper cups, fills them with water from the tap, and passes one to Dana.

    Dana reaches for her cup thinking to herself and says "my what large and beautifully manicured hands you have!" but to the Shadowman she says, "Thank you! I'm sort of nervous to meet the doctor, aren't you?"

    Shadowman says, "No, why? What have you heard?"

    Dana says, "Well, I usually prefer women doctors, and oh! Where are my manners? Let me introduce myself, I'm Dana, pleased to meet you. And you are?"

    "My name is Dr. Hans"

    Dana for once, dear sweet person that she is, was speechless.

    Dr. Hans said, "I'm sorry I was running late. I was on a bike trail that you would not believe how steep it was! Relax while I go change into my work clothes and lab coat. And you, well you just make yourself comfortable. I'll be right back."

    And as he was leaving she noticed what unusal colored and squeaky shoes he was wearing for riding a bike. But the view from the back was not bad! Not bad at all...

    **Check back for what Dana was thinking while Dr. Hans was changing. Or maybe you can just tell us what you're thinking?

  72. @Giffy
    You're PRICELESS!!!!! I love it!!! Hahahaha!

    But I prefer to call him The Doctor or Dr. ALS! Btw, you don't have to apologize or to change the names of the characters! It's perfect the way it is! LMAO

    Yes, he has very beautiful hands, with long and lean fingers!! I can't wait him to come back and to keep my wrist in his hand to check my pulse!!! Do you think he will check my heart too? Hehe!
    Sorry, I'm a naughty girl, I know, but I can't help thinking of naughty things, my mind is deep in the gutter...
    Ahhh, and The Doctor looks so damn good also from the back! Don't force me to say what I'm thinking about his butt!! You just have to see him and you'll understand why I had thrills on my spine!! But you have to see his smile and his eyes too!!
    GOD, he went to change his clothes in the other room and the door is slightly open!!!!
    Let me take another sip of water! God, it's so HOT in here! LMAO
    With such a doctor near you, you'd wish to faint just to determine him to make you resuscitation mouth to mouth! Haha!

    He's so sweet, he's like a kid with his unusual colored and squeaky shoes!! LOL
    *** *** *** ***
    I can't wait Chapter Three! Please, don't let us waiting for too long!!!!! I beg you!!!Haha!

    You make my day, my lovely Sis! Thank you so much!
