Hmmm...that derm things sounds kinda annoying. I have tons of random thoughts also. We need a new car so I am feverishly hoping that I can get things ironed out soon.

So sorry about the derm thing. Been there, done that (with a very ill baby), and had to go back to the states for treatment. Instead of waiting four months to see the ped g.i., he saw one within days in the states. I found the whole system VERY frustrating!

My day was spent watching it snow! I am so over snow!!!

Popped over from SITS: Seeing the doctor in general here I have a ton of emotions about. After being in the health care field for over 12 years I no longer call it home.
Wishing you a blessed Wednesday!

Not nearly as crazy as yours...I think people don't realize socialize medicine is not all it's cracked up to be. I hope today is better or at least somewhat more relaxing.

Amazing what moms can fit in to a day off :) Is America the only country w/o socialized medicine?

Remember, you are entitled to use any hospital or clinic you like, and get your travel expenses paid (less the co-pay, about 400 Nkr) They should have told you that.

The government has a web page set up to help you find the place where its quickest to see a specialist. (Time off for the trip might be a problem, I expect, but the doctors can't help there.)

You can find the page at:

http://www.frittsykehusvalg.no/start/

or an English version at: http://www.frittsykehusvalg.no/english

You can also call them at 800 41 004 for more information.

A quick browse indicates its less than two weeks wait for a non-emergency dermatology appointment. More if you don't want to travel. If you neither want to travel nor wait, it the private sector, which is not that expensive.
I had to get a appointment with a dermatiologist last year, and got to pick from a selection of times ranging between "in half an hour to "tomorrow at 9".

Hey you... hungry butt!

Hey you, Hungry butt!!!! .... First thought that played through my mind as I stood behind the woman in the GREY SWEATPANTS in line at the post office..... Hungry Butt is what my little sister & her friends say when referring to what in my day, was called a WEDGIE ..... "Hungry Butt" just fit the large bottom , which was gobbling its underwear in front of me.... Ugh.... the sight of her butt was burning into my mind as I waited in the ridiculously SLOW line at the post office.... No longer able to stand the site... I put my boxes down... and did the neighborly thing.... I pulled her underwear out of her butt.... You should have seen the SHOCK & SURPRISE on her face ... Ummm , OK I didn't do that... I tapped her on her shoulder & in my best AMERICAN accent announced to her & the rest of the post office... that she had the picture perfect HUNGRY BUTT... cause it was gobbling everything in sight... K... I didn't do that either... I just stood

Sunday... FUN-DAY, Another family day..... Because we had such nice weather, (never knowing how long it will last) we decided to take another family hike.... (2.5 hours....) around the be ach. It is funny, each week, each hike, I see changes in our family....less whining (on my part) & more time learning, enjoying our time together....Bjørn who usually gets irritated with all of my picture taking, is stopping to find things to take pictures of...appreciating colors, nature etc. Dane is less squeamish...touching & picking up all of sorts of things he finds along the hike.... Today we learned about Jettegryter or "Stone Pots" these huge rock formations from the ICE AGE .... pretty cool... these holes are formed by pebbles/gravel being aggitated by water, over thousand of years.... WOW..The holes on our local beach date back to 15,000 years.... the kids had a blast.... & wanted to stay much long
