We were to meet at Skejby Hospital 2019.03.18 at 08.00 am
so we drove to Aarhus on the Sunday
the day before
and stayed at BB Motel/Hotel
Had been told that Tomiko should eat meat
for the body to have enough building blocks to work with
and the surgery was scheduled for Tuesday 19th.
So we ate at the nearby “Harbour Inn”
and we also did so on Monday evening
*
so in our family it is me who does this hard work
I stopped smoking my pipe 5 years ago
it became more and more difficult to be a smoker
*
Tomiko just took one last photo
before the major – 4-hour long – surgery
*
But on Monday at 8:00 am, we showed up, as
said
First, a new blood test was needed
it was over in 15
minutes
Then we had to go to the cardiac department
and
wait in the lounge
for a conversation with the surgeon
before
the major surgery tomorrow
It was a long wait
the doctor came at 16:15 – when he had finished
the day’s surgeries
Fortunately – as always – I had my computer with
me
so I answered both orders and inquiries
and Tomiko read
about celebrities in the weekly magazines
which Tomiko had made the day before
Here I got a photo of the helicopter landing pad
it was also the only photo of the day
But I still had a huge surprise to come
the biggest in long, long time
*
While we are waiting for the doctor
so let’s just look at the scan of Tomiko’s heart
taken on December 13, 2018.12.13 at Skejby Hospital
when she had a stent placed in her heart:
or rather – don’t show – because it’s blocked
*
and it certainly made a huge difference
Look at the long artery over the 2 arrows
*
that was placed inside the heart
Then she was sent home and had to wait for 3 months
for her blood to be thinner, so they could perform a bypass
The 3 months have now passed
and tomorrow the surgery is to take place
*
At 2:00 pm, a friendly nurse came into the lounge
she told us and showed us about “after the surgery”,
among other things
how important it is to cross your arms across your chest
every time you move in bed
and especially if you need to get out of bed
This is because the sternum is cut during
surgery
and must have a chance to grow back together
therefore,
arms are crossed protectively
Finally, a doctor showed up
of Middle Eastern descent – as it is called today
he would not join the team tomorrow
just had to inform us about the process
with help from some A4 posters
After 15 minutes telling us about the process
he asked if we had any questions
I took the opportunity to mention
that Tomiko’s arteries ARE clear
most of her deposits over the years are gone
via a garlic mixture
I showed him photos on the computer at the same time
how to get my garlic mixture
to dissolve and consume cholesterol lumps
doctors called calcium deposits
My intention was to ask him to ensure
that I could get a few cm of the cleaned blood vessel
(from Tomiko – when they are in there anyway)
I have never seen such a thing in reality
and find out in there
that the piece that had been hardened in December
was already now nice and clear
–
but I didn’t get that far
The doctor stared at me in astonishment:
“If it’s right what you say
that you can remove deposits from blood vessels,
how are cardiologists going to make a living”?
I was very surprised
stared at him questioningly
thought doctors were there to help patients
“Do you want me to
cancel the surgery tomorrow”?
“No, definitely not” – I quickly answered
and at the same time shut the computer screen
so he could see I meant it
But as has already been said
he would not be operating on Tomiko
another team of other cardiac specialists would be
and we said goodbye to each other
