Full moon

Because I have a lot of English friends, I will from now on write my blog in English.

It's been a while since I last wrote...Been having some trouble with my Internet...Time to get an Iphone I think! Don't think there's any excuses left now :o)

The other day when I came home from the hospital visiting my dying grandfather, I was feeling sad inside. I saw how in Denmark you shouldn't get sick, when you are past a certain age. It's like the old people just get a stamp that says "Do not try to keep this creature alive, it's past the sell by date...!" What a shame to see how bureaucratic everything is in the national healthcare system. After falling down a ladder head first, my grandfather couldn't sleep. After hours of waiting in the emergency room they found 2 fractures in his shoulder and told him he had a concussion. He was sent home again to his house where he lives alone age 89. Next day he was found in the hallway passed out. He was rushed to the hospital where he still is today. No heart monitor, no one noticing the brain haemorrage that followed. A reserve doctor checking reflects outside the clothes and so on...Just the worse case of incompetence I've witnessed in a long time (including my time working in the hospital during my bachelor in medicine). But he has given up now, they've succeeded in taking the last bit of hope away, so that's that, and killing him slowly with crappy food. Makes me want to move to another country where at least they have a minimum of criterias that have to be followed when someone comes in and has fallen down a ladder and has a concussion. You don't just send the person home alone again... Note to self: "Don't get sick when you're old, have an emergency suicide pill, so you don't have to suffer like that with bad information and really bad food!"

So when I came home from the hospital, I decided to turn my state of mind around, since nothing good will come out of me being sad and it certainly wont help my grandfather. So instead I decided to meet with one of my best friends who always makes me laugh and go see a funny movie. When everything is sad, that always works for me, just watching a funny movie and thinking about something else. Thank you 'Klovn-the movie' !

As I cycled through the streets of Copenhagen the moon caught my eye...It was absolutely beautiful. I was late for the movie because I had to get a picture of it to share with you. Here it is...Always amazes me how everything just looks nicer in real life...
