Moscow

I am now sitting in an Internet room at our hotel in Moscow.  The journey has been good so far. The communications are however not the best from the airport. We had to take a bus for one hour and then change to metro which took about 30 minutes. Finding the hotel was not the easiest but after asking some locals everything went fine. We met a swedish couple on the plane who also planned to take the trans siberian and were also staying at the same hotel, so we decided to go together. Tomorrow we will do some sightseeing and in the evening we have our train to Beijing. I will probably write my next post in Beijing or perhaps Hong Kong.

Operation

This is my first blog post ever, I hope I will do fine. The big news now is my operation. It started one week ago when I felt a lump in my belly button. I went to the hospital and they told me that it was nothing to worry about and that it was normal. Just a few days later, last friday I felt that it had grown and hurt more. I left work after four hours and this time they made the statement that it was a hernia and that an operation was a must. They took me to the emergency clinic and from this point it was just a long wait for an operation. I was forbidden to eat and drink and I was living on intravenous drip the whole time. Time went really slow even though I just waited 1,5 day for the operation. 1 minute felt like one hour. The operation went just fine and I could leave the hospital 12 hours later. I have been at my moms since then, resting and taking it easy. I feel better and better for every day. I'm however not allowed to do any heavy lifting for 3-4 weeks so I'm so happy that I have Hannele with me on our way to Beijing. Time to rest now.
