We're both home again. The doctor suspects Duncan's intestines have grown together or have attached to the inside the abdominal cavity (sammengroninger af tarmene eller at tarmene nogle steder er groet fast på indersiden af bughulen.) This some times happens when there has been an infection or when the intestines have been disturbed - as Duncans have with the operation. Lægen sagde han havde alle grundene til at de skulle ske. However, since the pain is what Duncan calls "managable" they have agreed that he comes back in two weeks to see how it feels then. Sometimes, apparently, the pains disappears as the intestines stretches slightly. This could also not happen, in which case he will need surgery. So, in two weeks we know if its another operation or we're done. Duncan says for now it's okay, but not for good. The pains is at its least when he is sitting completely still - not very helpful for a normal life in full vigour!
My very mature respons to this has been to sit down and cry because I can't believe it just keeps coming. Guess I should be gratefull it's not worse (which I am - but still, it's not as it should be and that is a sadness/sorg)
Two weeks takes us to pentecost when we were going away for some days to relax and try to get a little bit on top of the world again. But there you are - hopes and plans are not for us at the moment. So, we still need your prayers!
