Hospitaaaaal

こんにちは！

昨日、退院したからまた家に帰ってきました！！！（＾Ｏ＾☆♪

.......

Just kidding - not gonna write this in Japanese. This is probably going to be a kind of short entry,
but yesterday I was discharged from the hospital after being there for 5 veeeeery long days and was finally allowed to go home. It was so amazing sleeping in my own bed again. A lot of people came and visited me while I was in the hospital, it was super nice. My LP and host father + mother obviously came the most and the niece came to be there when I left for surgery and when I came back again. Besides from these lovely people a lot of other people made a surprise visit.

Which also reminds me, on a site note, that since I can't put my pictures on the blog anymore and people probably don't want to sit checking my Japanese blog all the time - I put almost all my pictures up on Instagram (erikarou - same as twitter or everywhere else or click on the link lol) I mean, there's an illumination in Odori from this month until the end of December, it should be amazing and super beautiful - so I'll take tons of pics of that and put them up!

The friend I went to Aikido with, her mother and little sister came and visited - she couldn't come herself because she'd gotten down with a pretty bad fever, poor thing. Eden also stopped by and entertained me for two hours, which was nice - poor guy though, it's a looooong way from where he lives. Then came the Host Family that was supposed to be my first one, it was super nice seeing them and I was REALLY surprised - I really didn't see that one coming. Then my homeroom and English teacher made a surprise visit - that was even more surprising that any of the others. I talked with her for an hour or two as well. She brought me magazines from Sarah - the South African teacher, with a lovely note that started out saying "You told me you definitely hadn't broken a bone - YOU WERE WRONG!" it really made my day, she also brought Danish candy, my presentation speech (have to do an hour long presentation on Wednesday - shiiiiit) and a test lol. What did you expect she's a teacher in JAPAN - of course they bring me a damn test to the hospital - oh well. Made me smile anyway.

The funny thing, in Japan no one really bring flowers (also they weren't allowed in the rooms, in case some of the others were allergic to flowers - oh thoughtful Japan - so you had to give them in the reception if you got them) but what they DO bring is CANDY and I swear - they bring A LOOOOOT of it. I have so much candy that I can never finish myself, thank God for Eden eating half my candy while he was there. The Host Family that was supposed to be my first also gave me some extremely expensive and extremely delicious high class chocolate - man when did I last eat THAT good chocolate? Was amazingly happy.

Other than that, the surgery went fine - the first thing I said (not sure if this was a dream or anything, because I was still high on anaesthesia haha) but it was "This is the first floor, isn't it?" in Japanese to the nurse "driving" my bed. I had surgery on the 2nd floor and my room is on the 4th - the 1st floor is where people "check in" so why in the world would I be there? It reminds me of the time where I was so tired that my brain blacked out and I found out the next day that I'd written "haha gay shoes" in a text to my ex. Just why? But oh well, after that I saw the niece and my LP - the first thing I said to them was "damn I'm so hungry" (still in Jap of course) they just smiled and laughed because I was completely myself and I was joking around with them, even though I wasn't allowed to sit up yet.

I shared a room with two elderly women who were super nice to me and always talked to me. the nurses was also all super amazing, the doctors as well. I was so happy that they all seemed so interested in talking to me and finding out about my country etc. all of them was also amazed that I spoke Japanese, it was so funny. But then again, I was pretty amazed that I was able to understand the terms and such that you use on the hospital in Japanese - I mean, NO one taught me any of that, so that was cool. I most admit, that my Japanese have become extremely close to fluent, I still lack in many places and of course a lot of people are still a lot better than me - but I'm really satisfied! Had never thought that I would learn THIS much in such a short time!!

Thursday I'm going back to the hospital to talk with a doctor, that'll be nice I think. Friday I'll be going to Emma and Marco's school and see my Aikido friend's speech contest - cross your fingers and pray for her to win - because she deserves it damn much, her English is flawless!! Then in January, around a week before I leave for Tokyo, I'll have surgery again - so that I don't need to have it in Denmark - I mean, they put metal in my shoulder, NOT fun in the airport where it would BEEP every time I went trough the scanner haha. Anyway, I'm enjoying my stay to the fullest, I have legit nothing bad to say about my stay - okay, I had a boyfriend, didn't work out, I just found out that the guy I REALLY like has a girlfriend etc. but that NOT going to put me down, I'll enjoy these last months to the fullest man! 



I love Japan <3 <3 <3



All in all, I think I'm one of the exchange students that tried most various things haha. I love it, having tried Aikido, breaking a bone because of it, being in the hospital, having surgery etc. it's all an experience!!

Soooo,
Thanks for reading and 

TAKE CARE !!!
