Dewi's period was a little strange a month ago, very short. Otherwise she seemed ok, but everyone said she looked a bit fat, and indeed her stomach looked a bit big. Yesterday early morning however, she bursted open, and allmost fainted, bleeding like hell. We rushed to the hospital (Kertha Usada, Singaraja) and an echo was made. The doctor said, "spontaneous, incomplete abortion", or "miskraam", same in Dutch. 2 years earlier she had an ovary infection, on the same side where the very short term miscarriage had partly taken place. She needed an immediate curetage, so she was taken to the operating room. On request she had narcose. After the operation she needed blood transfusion, so her father and I went to another hospital with blood from Dewi to test. She had B and I have O+, but her father was a B. While I was there I gave blood anyway. When we came back Dewi was already awake again and had 2 needles (infuus) and a tube in her. I spend the night with her in the hospital, and could take here home this morning. She is still a bit shakey, but she is getting better quickly. A small unexpected horror story.
But now, what did this all cost?
The total cost was 3.5 million rupiah, which included two days in the hospital at 150.000 each, fee for the specialist who examined and "operated" Dewi 795.000 Rupiah, Medicine 1.360.000 rupiah and some other stuff.
The hospital was quite nice, only they had recieved a mysterious deduction from my Mastercard "Electronic" they told me, an extra of 3.7 million rupiah, I have to come back in two days to hear what has happened. And the specialist had quite an interest in the size of certain bodyparts of me, when I was not with Dewi, she told me. But this was expected, he expressed the same interest two years ago.
Dewi and Mums, just before going into the operating room.
Well this certainly got my attention, Bert! :shock:
Good to hear Dewi's OK and I hope she's feeling better soon.
I am new here but would like to wish Dewi speedy recovery.

Wow, what a scare !
And yes for sure, we all wish her a painless and speedy recovery !
Bert! I just now read your post about Dewi. Wow, that had to be very scarey! Please give her both my and Eri's best wishes for a speedy recovery. Is she back and home resting now?
Bert,
Our best thoughts are with you and Dewi. My family and I have been in Kertha Usada many times over the past 15 years, and they have always provided excellent service. I'm sure that they are doing the same for Dewi.
Best regards,
Bruce
Sorry to hear about Dewi's and yours trouble. Our best wishes from my family for a speedy recovery for Dewi.
Dear Bert,
I'm sorry to hear this, I think Dewi will need a lot of attention now, something like this can also cause a psychological problem for a woman sometimes, so you will have to pamper her.
I hope and wish you both, everything is going smooth now and that she will recover very soon.
best regards
Thorsten
