Still alive

The blog has been silent for a while. I was hospitalized for about two weeks. Initially there was blood poisoning and then slime in the lungs so that one was almost suffocating. After about 50 ml of thick slime was taken out with endoscopy, life started - if not smiling - to become bearable. Without the help of lung department the blog would undoubtedly have become silent forever.

But the hospital visit also showed a big problem with the healthcare system. Everybody is only concerned with their own sector. As the initial problem I had was concerned with urinary tract, when that was considered over, I was sent home, although I asked them to keep me in hospital another day. The result: ambulance fare back to the hospital 12 h later. Then they started to take the lung question seriously, and I was sent to lung department.

Hopefully I will be writing environmental stories again in a short while. At least now things look good, as I already have enough energy to write this short explanation, why I have been silent
