Spring and summer 2008

New year, new boyfriend, …

Sindre <3

First things first, I hooked up with an old schoolfriend, Sindre, in March and we hit it off. Since then I’ve practically moved in with him and we are having a great time. Enjoying summer vacation, nice weather and each other.

… new computer, new LCD monitor, new tablet …

New tablet

Building my new computer

Secondly I decided to give myself a pat on my back and finally buy myself a new computer. It got overhand as I bought all tip top new components and a 24″ LCD widescreen to go. And to top all that Sindre bought me a brand new Wacom tablet as a gift. Damn, I feel spoiled!

… and “new” neck

Left: My neck a week after surgery.
Right: My neck 6 months later, both featuring the necklace I got from Sindre

When the doctors found out in december 07 that I have Pendred syndrome, I decided to surgically remove my goitre. This results in having to use Thyroid medicine for the rest of my life, but Pendred would cause me being on and off medicine anyway.

The operation in early June went just fine and I’m actually already quite satisfied with the result, even if it may look like someone sliced my throat in a dark alley some night. After 6 months my neck looks just like everyone’s else, completely normal.
