Time for a little update,

Summer is gone, but I don’t mind… it was a painful summer so I don’t mind embracing autimn with all its colors

When the first of May we left (Luna and I) for our ‘voyage’, I had no idea what troubles lay ahead for us.

The first weeks in Bali were ceremonies; snorkeling, fun and party until the 21st of May we got back from a long day/night of huge temple ceremony. Riding in de back of our caddy, looking at the silhouettes of the palm trees against the magical starry sky, Luna started not feeling well.

By the time we arrived home, she was very sick; vomiting, fever, headaches. All night this went on and the days after she got slightly better…fever was gone but the headaches were still there.  We all thought she had inflammation of the sun, because at the ceremony was not much shade to hide for us.  When she felt “better “after a week, we could only leave the house at night, Luna did not support the burning sun anymore. A week or so later, Luna still wasn’t really better, we seen a doctor who didn’t give a diagnose, just some amoxicillin (medicine #1, beats most bacteria’s). I never been to a Bali doctor without leaving with that medicine, regardless what troubles I came with

Anyway, Luna was still not feeling 100% and a week later things got worse. The fever went up (high!) and down, headaches became unbearable, dizziness and neck pains started to appear. Now my alarm went of… these symptoms I heard of, could she have meningitis? All I knew about meningitis was that there should be some skin rash too… there was none. Still a day or so later we went to the doctor again, the time we arrived the fever was down for a while and the doctor could not find anything strange with Luna… maybe an infection of the throat, so we got another load of penciling again.

However, because she was dizzy, he advised to get a brain scan done when back to Holland. We went home again ( read: 1 hour drive to the doctor – snake road – 4 hours waiting before we see the doctor – jam karet – 1 hour drive back)

Exhausted Luna went to bed. The next day was even worse, Luna had been screaming of pain and I could not rely on the judgment of the doc anymore.

We went to the hospital in Amlapura. Been there before and knew it is primitive, but I was hoping they could help. All common tests were done, I tried to explain to them that I was thinking it was meningitis but I never got through to them because they had no clue what I was trying to say. Fever of Luna was low at that time; later when we got home with stronger penciling Luna got even worse and I started to slightly panic. I realized all options of healthcare in this primitive part of Bali were done; last option was to go to Kuta BIMC hospital. The only hospital I heard there was,  runned by mostly western doctors.

First I went on the internet to read about meningitis, because her symptoms really pointed in that direction, except the skin rashes.

On the website of the Dutch meningitis association I read immediately that meningitis not always comes with the skin rash, and all symptoms of Luna fitted exactly into the meningitis profile. Now it was time to panic.

I wrote an email to the BIMC hospital to tell them I would arrive early morning with my 16 year old daughter whom I suspected of meningitis…

Our sweet old Baba is sick… she can hardly breath

The vet says it’s probably cancer, and we have to prepare to send her to her endless sleep.I miss her already! We got her in the same year as Butcher..they came together, they go together…

For 14 years she was our loyal friend, now we’ve got a few days left.

In exactly 2 weeks, we’re off to Asia. I’m getting more and more excited, wondering how Luna will react to being so long away from home… and me too, first time without my papa! who was always in Bali when I was there. If any problems, he would arrange everything to solve them. This time it will be different, but now that I speak the language better, I’ll think I’ll manage, if not, well that would be my KARMA then (East Bali way of thinking)

I just booked a flight Bali -Thailand too!
21 July we’ll fly for 2 weeks to Bangkok, and we’ll travel around a bit too.
We will meet Jazz there and his (new) gf. He will show us around, since he’s there for quite some time now, he knows what are must-sees there.

Yesterday I called my friend Jacky. She lives in Bali with her son and it was soooo good to hear her voice, we were both trying to understand each other, but the connection was so bad we ended up with sending txt messages. It was fun to hear her laughing though.

The renovation of our room is finished now, so I can start cleaning there.
I had to go out last night to buy a new vacuum cleaner > ours broke down at the moment we most needed it!
This was vacuum cleaner number 4 in 3 years!! Can you believe the shit they build these days, just to keep economies going?
My first vacuum cleaner was at least 15 years old, was given for free to me and I got rid of it just because the iron robot was too big and heavy for me… I wish I never done that. They don’t make stuff anymore like they used to do.
well, I hope my new dust sucking baby will live longer and stronger

Oh jeah… look at the nice grave our Butcher has:

Close up of his present for the eternal hunting fields, some body stole it already, now there is a statue of a cat at that place (present of Marcia)

This is one of the things I think , that make the internet a great place:

Bang Bang Bazooka – I’m The Devil – Promo-Clip from Tombstone on Vimeo.

 If there is another side. and animal spirit and human spirit reunite, I will have a couple of animals waiting for me.

 One of them is Butcher. He just died in my arms, he woke me up (to say goodbye?) and 20 min. later he stopped breathing. What a relief… he was in pain for too long, that’s for sure. But we had a big dilemma with putting Butcher to sleep, secretly hoping he would be OK some day… now he is.

sorry liefie dat we niet dapper genoeg waren je uit je lijden te verlossen

It’s been a couple of months now that Jazz lives in Thailand. He’s having a good time, new country, new girlfriend. I really have to get used to the new girlfriend part though… we loved Qiong his Chinese girlfriend so much. But of course he must follow his heart, and mamma must take a step back and stop thinking about daughters in law and stop thinking every gf will be a new daughter, haha.
Anyway, he’s having a great time, because of the crisis, they only work 4 days a week: so 3 days per week left to spend sightseeing with the girlfriends. Not a bad way at all to spend 6 months Thailand.

Over here we start feeling the crisis also, I’ve got less work and every month the money seems to vaporize. Still, not complaining, I realize we still belong to the wealthiest people on earth, but not the happiest!
When Luna and I will be in Bali (in 1 month & 3 weeks we are leaving!), we will have to live on a very tight budget, it will be fun!
Oh, I’m so looking fore ward to our 4 months Bali *sigh*., but I think I mention that in every post inhere
Francois found himself at the artist section of Gretch guitars!!
Next to names like Django Reinhardt, Brian Setzer and George Harrison, not bad at all huh?
He was so happy when he found out, and I’m so happy for him!
Bang bang bazooka has a new drummer now, and for the first time in years I like what I’m hearing when I listen to the rehearsal tapes.
10 may they will do the last gig with Rene and the first gig with Marc, the new drummer. Too bad I have to miss that party, but I doubt I’ll be actually missing it, while grilling my fresh caught fish at the beach.
