SURGERY: A LITTLE UPDATE


(photo taken last weekend before the surgery)

Dear All,

FIRST AND FOREMOST: THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR LOVLEY COMMENTS! THEY REALLY LIFTED MY SPIRIT AROUND THE SURGERY, AND THIS WAS REALLY THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING YOU COULD HAVE DONE FOR ME!

So here's for a little update on the surgery; everything went just as planned! The first 24h after the surgery, was incredibly tough to go through. However, since then, despite the fact that I'm still standing before a lot of challenges, I've been getting a lot better. Since yesterday, I was able to drink and eat liquid food, which honestly speaking felt divine!! In fact, I've been getting so much better so quickly, that this afternoon, I was able to check-out of the hospitals a couple (!!) of days early! I'm so, so happy!! (I really wish I could show you my happy smile right now, I'm sure if I was able to sing and dance to a tune and put it on youtube, I'd get a gazillion hits. Just saying. ;)

Hereby said, I'm quite swollen, so there won't be any new material for a while. I hope you'll like some of my earlier yet-to-be-posted material. :)

YOU ARE GREAT!!!

LOTS OF LOVE
SARAH MIKAELA

  1. Hvor er det skønt at høre, at du allerede har det bedre :-)
    Det lyder vildt, at du først i går kunne drikke og spise flydende - hvad har du levet af siden tirsdag så?!
    Lyder virkelig rart for dig, at du allerede er hjemme. Det er altid rarere at komme ovenpå i vante rammer ;-)

  6. Det er dejligt at høre du har det godt! Jeg håber kun det bliver bedre og bedre ;)

    Jeg blogger også, og jeg er enormt glad for at læse din blog - og jeg har læst i knap og nap 2 år nu. Du er faktisk grunden til jeg begyndte at blogge, så jeg kan faktisk ikke takke dig nok.

    Jeg har dog et spørgsmål (jeg håbede du måske kunne svare på nå du blev rask). Dine billeder er ekstram fine, og jeg elsker at dig er fokus på dig, og baggrunden er slørret. Mine billeder bliver slet ikke så gode :(

    Så jeg tænkte på hvordan du gør dem så fine og perfekte? Hvilket kamera + linse du bruger? Hvor redigere du dem? Gode tips og tricks du kan give?

    Du må meget gerne skive til min e-mail: nida@live.dk (eller det behøver du ikke hvis du ikke har lyst) :)

    xx, Elif

  11. I'm behind on my blog reading so I didn't see your original post on this, but I'm glad everything is going well!

    I think I had the same surgery as you just a few months ago! (Well, over the summer) The worst part is definitely not being able to really eat anything for two months. Bleh. I now officially hate soup.

    Hope that everything continues to go well & if you have any questions about the recovery process or something (I spent countless hours going through other people's recovery blogs after mine) feel free to message/email me!

    1. Thank you so much for your comment, Mallory! It's really nice to hear, that going through this surgery is actually possible (even one month in). I hope you're well now on top of everything. The worst in my case was definitely the first 24 hours. I could never have imagined it being so hard, although I never expected it to be a walk in the park.

      I was actually wondering: did you regain your senses in your chin and bottom lip? How long time did it take you to completely "deflate" from the surgery? I have recent photos on the blog now, but I still feel and see myself as being quite swollen.

      And yes... soup... It will take some time to regain a good relationship with it again!

      All the best
      Sarah

  15. Årh søde, smukke Mikaela, hvor er jeg glad for at høre, at det hele er gået godt! Selvom det virker freaky, når man kun "kender" dig gennem en blog, virker du som en fantastisk skøn personer og håber, det hele går så godt som muligt. Det må være hårdt(også for din vægt, når nu du er så slank i forvejen) kun at leve af flydende føde i to måneder. Her kommer dog lige et par opskrifter på nogle af mine yndlingssupper, alle mættende, nærende og lækre!

    Ærtesuppe:

    Ingredienser: (Rigeligt til 4 personer)
    • 1-2 løg
    • 2 kartofler
    • 500 g. frosne ærter
    • 2,5 l. vand (sådan cirka)
    • 2 bouillonterninger
    • Salt og peber
    Lidt olie


    Fremgangsmåde:
    1. Hak løget og steg det i olien.
    2. Skræl kartoflerne, skær dem i stykker og kom dem i gryden.
    3. Tilsæt vandet og bouillonterningerne og lad det koge i 10 min.
    4. Tilsæt ærterne og lad det koge igen i 5 min.
    5. Blend hele herligheden.

    Linsesuppe:

    Ingredienser:
    * 4 mellemstore kartofler
    * 2 store løg
    * 3 store gulerødder
    * 3 fed hvidløg
    * 2 liter bouillon
    * 1 dåse kokosmælk
    * 1 spsk. rød curry paste
    * 4 lauerbærblade
    * Saft fra en citron
    * 2 spsk. paprika (krydderi)
    * 1 spsk. koriander
    * 2 spsk. stærk karry
    * 2 dl (skyllede) røde splitlinser
    * Salt og peber

    Fremgangsmåde:
    Varm olie op i en stor gryde og tilsæt curry paste.
    Kartofler, løg, gulerødder og hvidløg skæres i grove stykker og svitses sammen med karry, paprika og koriander.
    Bouillonen tilsættes sammen med kokosmælken, linserne og lauerbærbladene samt salt (ca. 2 spsk. groft salt) og peber.
    Det koges under låg i 45 minutter og røres 3-4 gange.
    Tag dernæst lauerbærbladene op og blend suppen med en stavblender.
    Derefter tilsættes citronsaften.

    Indisk linsesuppe:

    Ingredienser:
    2 spsk olie
    1 hakket løg
    2 fed hakket hvidløg
    6 stænger blegselleri i tynde skiver
    2 tomater i tern
    2 gulerødder i tern
    1 liter vand
    250 g røde linser
    Hakket ingefær
    Spidskommen
    Karry
    Koriander
    Peber
    Salt
    Evt. grøntsags bouillon
    Fremgangsmåde:
    Steg grøntsagerne og tilsæt krydderierne. Skyl linserne og put linser og vand i gryden. Lad retten koge i ca. 30 min. Smag til med salt og hvis du synes suppen mangler lidt smag, så put lidt grøntsagsbouillon i.

    Og så har jeg en masse flere, jeg ikke lige kan helt i hovedet, men som du nok skal få, når jeg får adgang til opskrifterne.

    Rigtig god bedring i hvert fald! :)

    1. Kære Line

      Jeg ser først din kommentar nu, men den er lige så højt værdsat nu, som den ville være for to uger siden! Hvor er du bare fantastisk sød - tusind tak for den søde tanke! Supperne ser ud til at være lige min smag, så vil glæde mig rigtig meget til at komme igang med dem. Det betyder utroligt meget for mig, og er rigtig glad for, at du gider følge med! Alt godt til dig!

      Kærligst,
      Sarah Mikaela
