Oh, KERAP!!!!

I guess this means that we have to stay on heightened alert status while the dangerous viking remains on this side of the pond!

And he has the nerve to call ME pigheaded and stubborn!!! If you look up either term in the dictionary, you will find his ugly puss as the picture showing what they mean!

Hurry up and get that ornery viking fixed so that we can ship him back over the big waters!

Chuck

PS: Naturally all the prayers I got are headed his way. And THANKS, Pete and Joyce, for taking care of the cantankerous old geezer!

CAUTION: Do NOT smoke when using or around oxygen. Oxygen can permeate your clothing or bedding. Wait, before lighting cigarette or flame.

Keep fire extinguisher available, and charged.

Yikes. I just learned of this but I'm glad the old geezer is on the way back. Stop doing stuff like this to us!

Seriously, I'm so happy that such good friends are there for Svenn and Bente. Keep us posted.

SITREP #2

We just got back from seeing Svenn at the Washington Hospital Center in DC... We were surprised to find him in sad shape, as he had sounded so good a few minutes earlier when he called to give us his room number. His heart was doing great, but the beast was whipping up on him something fierce and his nurse was clueless as she fumbled with the nose cannula.

I raised hell with the head ward nurse then played dingdong school with her about the need for rapid intervention with cluster headache abortives. She ran for the NRB oxygen mask then we both called his cardiologist. A few minutes later we had standing orders put in place to ensure proper and timely intervention with the appropriate meds as needed.

Note to self and others… We need to work on establishing a Medic Alert bracelet for cluster headache sufferers. The ER card is good, but they strip most folks going into surgery.

After a shot of joy juice and a few minutes of O2 chaser at a high flow rate, Svenn was back up to his typical Mad Viking self storming up and down the corridor IV stand in hand and his hospital gown with plunging butt line flapping in the breeze terrorizing the staff and other patients... It was a sight to behold…

I suspect they’ll be glad to be rid of Svenn by tomorrow morning as checkout time is between 0800 and Noon.

We’ll let you know when we have him back safe and sound.

Take care, and thank all of you again for the prayers.

Love and hugs, Pete, Joyce, and Bente

Well, look at the bright side Batch -- the "roaring" was good for his heart -- keeps the old blood flowing to all parts... : But the flapping hospital gown was TMI!!! Roll Eyes

)

Glad you were there to straighten out the hospital on the O2... (one problem with hospitals today -- ya gotta have someone with you if you're sick!)

The med braclet sounds like a winner..

Thanks for being there for our Svenn... You and Joyce are great (did I just give you a compliment? - geezzz I'd best go take a nap... not like me at all!)

Give the old goat a hug for me and a big one to Bente...

Hugs BD

Svenn - To be filed away for future reference:

Always ask for two gowns. The first one is donned the traditional way, opening to the back. The second one is worn like a robe.

Now get the hell out of that place. Hospitals are no place to get rest.

Batch:

I Thank God for you being at the right place at the right time, in order to get Svenn the assistant that he needed.

I have know doubt in my heart or mind that you and Joyce have made this situation a lot easier on both Svenn and Benta..

God created a couple of Smiley

when he created you and Joyce.

Peace & Blessings

SITREP #3

Bente and I picked up Svenn today around noon. Other than a severe case of the hungries... (hospital food is terrible), Svenn looks none the worse for wear. I've scheduled their return flght to Oslo for Saturday so none of us are really safe on this side of the pond until then. Will post some photos as proof the Mad Viking is still kicking a little later.

Love to all, Pete, Joyce, Bente, AND Svenn

I just spoke to Svenn on the phone. He sounds WONDERFUL !!!!!!!!

No words can express the emotion right now.

Svenn, my dear friend, know how grateful I am for the two wonderful people who were there to take care of you and make sure you did NOT get on that plane.

I am most happy to know that you are feeling better.

Continued prayers for recovery and a safe trip back home to the boys who must indeed be worried about you and Bente as well.

my love to you and Bente,

EDNA
