Hungary and spinal surgery |
 |
1 | |
So a while ago I went to Budapest with my gf, her dad and his new wife. It was kind of fun and that city is something like 90% London and 10% Mogadishu. It was weird but fun.
When we got home my gf had her spinal surgery at a place called Stockholm Spine Center. Due to the fuck ups the hospital in our hometown had made earlier they had sent us there, more or less free of charge. I think it was mostly their way of saying sorry and possibly also a fairly decent way to avoid some legal trouble. Whatever, at least they sent us to the best specialists in Sweden when it comes to backs.
First things first, so far so good and everything looks like the surgery was a success, even though it'll take a few months before we know how big of a success it was. They did both a spinal fusion and a what I think is called a "Lumbar Decompressive Laminectomy" due to Spinal stenosis and Degenerative disc disease. Not sure if I've gotten the translations right but basically her back was messed up in all kinds of ways it shouldn't be at her age, but for some dumb genetic reason she managed to get both.
They told us there where no point in visiting the first two days (the surgery day + day after) due to the fact that my girl would be sleeping most of the time so I got my ass on a train and arrived at the hospital early last Saturday. Before that I kept calling the hospital and asking how she was doing and she was even awake enough to talk to me a time or two.
I remember that I called just when she was out of surgery and a nurse assured me that everything had gone well, I was really confused by this because it sounded like she was telling me the truth but I was so used to things getting fucked up that I did not believe it before I talked to my girl later that evening. Spine Center has been by far the best hospital I've been in as far as information, good care etc goes. The doctors even called her on his day off and asked how she was doing. As far as quality of care etc goes everyone I've talked to and all data I have been able to get my hands on (and remember, I have a law degree, I'm fairly good at finding stuff) says they're the best or close to the best in Sweden in more or less all areas.
I wanted, and still want, to spend the maximum amount of time with her. Their visiting hours was 14-19 although since it was a weekend I figured I could probably get away with getting there a bit earlier and leaving a bit later. I'm very well mannered and likeable when I try so I figured that would help too. I started out calling up a flower store a day or two before I would get there and told them I wanted flowers for my girlfriend in the hospital. Next thing I said that I wanted a bunch red roses and whatever looked nice with that and that I'd just give them my cc-number and let the charge about 300 USD and do whatever they'd think would look nice and send it to my girl the day after surgery. With any luck that's the first and last time I spend more then 50 bux on flowers. Apparently one of the nurses commented on it that she'd been married for 18 years and that her better half never sent her flowers like that.
The next few days I spent as much time as I was allowed with my girlfriend and the rest at some hotel next to it. Had one very long and interesting conversation with a guy from Lebanon that worked nights at the hotel reception. Also got to hang out with a friend of mine I had not seen in 15 years who lived there. My gf sill can't walk much more then 100-200m and she's on pain medication for a week or two more, but within a month or two she'll be fit enough to work and within a year she'll be better then new.
We probably spent close to 10k on various treatments for her back, including physiotherapy, Naprapathy and all kinds of stuff like that and nothing has worked more then a little while and no one figured out wtf was wrong with her.
Anyway, gonna finish up my last milestone for the year now and then go for SNE next year. That feels nice.

Fuck the 10k man, all that matters is that the surgery was a succes and she will heal up. Money can be made easily as long as you are healthy!  |

Congrats with everything~
I expect you to make a wedding-blog in the near future, because you're doing a lot for her when compared to the average boyfriend, so I assume you really love her. |

thats crazy, what a story. Really hope she is feeling better soon, the back is a dreadful place to be injured, especially at such an early age.
I have scoliosis and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome myself, its not as serious as what your girlfriend might have but its definitely been a hassle in my everyday life for many years. I had originally tried ALOT of physio's, had scans, I diddnt think there was anything else to try.....
Then I spoke to a unbelievable guy named Mark Colbourne around 3 months ago. He broke his back in a couple of places in a dreadful paragliding accident back in 2009. He was told he would never walk properly again or do any sports but his mindset is so tough, he never accepted anything they said. Anyway he says along with his mindset, he also swears that Juice Plus+ products got him to where he is now. He ended up defying all odds, then taking it further by somehow managing to compete at the Para Olympic games in 2012, cycling for Great Britain and he used Juice Plus complete shakes and Premium Capsules everyday for 2 years prior and during the Olympics enabling him to win a GOLD medal even at the age of 42!! Crazy right?! But true....Fruit and Vegetables overloaded in the body can only have a positive effect on your body, it could very well help you girlfriend.
If you think its worth looking at her diet, trying something as powerful as Juice Plus+ which could potentially help your girlfriend with faster recovery & increased energy to name just a few benefits she could experience, then get in touch with me man, I have all the info you need. Literally I have gone from being in a chronic fatigue state, pain in my back and other joints to now being able to go out running, eating so much better and sleeping miles better.
Really feeling for you dude, really hope you make it through your problems, it took me 4 years to get my answers as to what was wrong with me and now with my improved diet, I feel like I can achieve anything, just hope your girlfriend can end up being this positive. Speak soon budy, be positive

That's not even close to the dumbest thing ppl has recommended. (Juice+ might not be dumb, but you sound like a commercial for a scam)
Anyway, thanks for the suggestion. Diet is important. |

i am happy that it went well , you give her the best cure and mental support for beeing so close and so nice.
i had also a back operation and since that i never had any problem (more than 10 years) , you can 't fight every day alone this pain is so intense that you need these hard medication , but more than that you need to focus on other positiv things , family , close friend , so yeah boyfriend +ev for her .
My mother is now in the hospital and she has a prothese on her knees , the operation went well , then she got robbed in her room yesterday , id , phone and money etc but we were laughing about this cause , the most important thing is the operation . My mum is tibetan and the first thing she said , i hope he will buy a nice jacket winter is coming .
best for you both . |
