American in Norway

So pick up where I left off... here  is the rest of our year in  review.. JULY-   our long awaited trip "home" to the USA.. woo hoo.. & WHAT a trip home it was... the day after we arrived , my cousin just happened to be in the Kansas City area... - we haven't seen each other in 17 years...  (I know..how sad is that? )   But after years of chatting on FB.. we were finally able to get our children together.. what an AWESOME reunion! 2 days after landing... we did a major road trip down to TEXAS... where there were even more reunions! Michele.. one of my BEST FRIENDS in the entire world... Mich & I have been friends since 4th grade.. we backpacked across Europe as college students.. worked on cruise ships together... and she was my maid of honor..  - no matter how much time and distance.. things between us never change... Kids finally made to a REAL ranch with real cowboys.. finally made it to ...

Yesterday, after speaking ro Bjørn, I was going to hop on the computer & post my "MAD AS HELL" post... Thankfully my American Dr. friend called me as soon as she received my message & talked me down.... she tried to explain things to me... Basically Bjørn has a Staph infection... "Gul"... the yellow kind... (that doesn't make sense to me either...) But he is on heavy antibiotics & will be in the hospital probably from 1-2 more weeks. I had my whole list of things I was mad about yesterday.... WHY & HOW did he get this STAPH infection... he has had to have been walking around with this infection for the past 10 months... (any wise medical person please correct me if I am wrong...) WHY didn't they find this when he went to the Dr. 2.5 months ago? instead of shrugging their shoulders & sending him home? WHO thought it would be a good idea to let his scar RUPTURE? Additional things that upset me..... After surgery he was put in a 4 man'...
