Broken Arm
Accident in Paradise
Personal, 091130

So, I am writing this post with my lef hand and it takes so much time... Why am I doing that? Well, I broke my arm a week ago.

Me and Anna was staying at this nice island Morro de Sau Paulo in Brazil, not far from Salvador. We were playing around, discovering the island by foot when it so happened that I managed to have an accident that could have taken my life. But luckily I survived and only broke my arm. I received some serious tranquillizer by a doctor and was shipped to main land. I have some fragmented memories, one being x-rayed and looking at the plates. Back on the island Anna was trying her best making SOS International understand they had to help us back to Sweden. Then a very shaky boat ride back to Salvador a day or so later. I was puking my guts out, holding unto my still broken arm longing for treatment and a ticket home to Sweden. Fastforward a day or so and me and Anna were back in Sweden, now trying to make the Swedish healthcare understand the predicament. Fortunately things worked out and I was put on the operation table Saturday. 2 hour surgery, reinforcing my skeleton with titanium. Now I am in pain, chewing on morphine derivatives (which I do not like thus I eat to few of them, but to some extent I prefer pain towards being drugged).

I am glad I did not die and that I managed to save my legs, so they did not break. I do not know what I would have done if Anna had not been so cool about it all and had taken care of me - she is the best!

An angel is walking by my side.
