Lenny's Heading for Germany

Lenny HB said:
Being locked up until at least Friday maybe Saturday. Mi came up to visit No chance, no visiters for 4 days after admission.

Now in a two bed room with a younger guy who speaks fluent English and of course it has a bathroom.

Feeling a lot better now, pressure on stomach makes you feel bloated from the CO2 they pump into you.

All this talk about ill people certainly buggers up a travel thread. :LOL:

Sympathy for your plight notwithstanding it's quite interesting and, most importantly, not me 😁.

Just caught up with this thread ... blooming heck Lenny, you're getting as bad as Jaws going abroad to have his hernia sorted! Here we were thinking you were 'just' going on holiday! :giggle:

Hope you soon recover but don't you dare drive before you're supposed to! You may 'feel' okay at times but you have to remember it's not just the stitches on the outside healing but those on the inside where they've cut out your gallbladder and stitched you back together again, they will take longer to heal. Last thing you want is to 'spring a leak' in your indoor plumbing and end up back in hospital again.

You will have thought of this but...Mi take the cassette via taxi to the nearest dump point if that’s the issue.
Ask the dealer to drive the van to the dealership to do the business. As somebody already mentioned ask another Motorhome person to help out.
You really don’t want to be worrying about anything right now except recovering and I am sure Mi will get it sorted. Generous offer by Robert but there are other options which are easier.
 
There are 170 British soldiers still in Germany based in Normandy Barracks,Sennelager.This is about an hour away from you.There might well be someone who could drive down and move your van to the hospital grounds. Lots of info and phone numbers if you Google them.
When my husband had to go into hospital as an emergency a few years ago I was given a safe parking spot there for the duration.It was right by the emergency helicopter pad !
 
Lenny would Mi drive the MH if someone else accompanied her, say another MHer where your MH is currently? She could pay for their return train/tram fair?

You haven't said which hospital you are in but have you talked to anyone at the hospital in charge of parking (get your neighbouring patient to do it for you) to see if there is anywhere she can stay there as they may have somewhere and also be able to sort out the cassette and other services when needed?

Are there any German motorhome web sites, that one of our German speakers could send out an SOS.
Im sure that someone would come to help to empty the cassettes.
 
Thanks all, think we will survive she is putting paper in the bin, not showering & buying bottled water for drinking, cooking. I can probably get her to drive the van if I'm in it.
Funny thing is I had got her to agree to go to a local hgv trainer for a few hours of lessons then Covid.

Come on pull yourself together man, Trump got the worse case of covid in fact the worse case ever seen and he is over it already ::bigsmile:
 
15 mins to Mi's scheduled visit still no dinner scan found out its going to be an epescopcy or whatever, asked about the probe, tiny thing compared to the huge great thing I had down me it the UK.

Mi has found a public loo a few minutes walk away hasn't been able check if it's open yet.

I'm a member of a couple of German Facebook pages. On the face of things, it may seem like a good idea to ask for help, but I really do think it would be very risky. You would be advertising the fact that there is a lone woman, looking for help. Once you've put the information out there, how do you sort out the many who's intentions would be good from the few who's intentions may be not so good? It could provide someone with the ideal opportunity to steal a van (or worse.)

Yes! You could be right. I hadnt looked from that angle👍
 
Arggggg!
They want to do the endoscopy as they think I might have liver canal damage. Never did get my dinner but tea arrived, Yuck! Still had to wait ½ hour to find out if I can eat it.
Normally I will eat German food but nothing tastes or smells right.
A couple of slices of strong rye bread that takes 15 min to eat one bite its so tough, cream cheese, huge pickled gherkin, garlic sausage the smell nearly knocked me out and a couple of slices of plastic cheese & a rock hard pear.
Managed ½ slice of bread with cream cheese, might attack the pear if I can find a fire axe.
Mi manged to ekk out her 1 hour visit to over 2 hours and bought me a banana, breakfast bars and orange juice, until now all I have had today is ½ of a chewy roll with jam

Paul, I like it toasted with melted butter. (y)

I too have not heard of liver canal damage myself either. :whatthe:
Good luck with the endoscopy Lenny. I hope they wipe it clean after retracting it from the previous patient's rectum. :rofl:

Cheers,

Jock. :)

That's the other one this one is down the throat.
 
So German hospital food is no better than UK hospital food :unsure:.

Medically, hope they soon sort you out & the process is not too uncomfortable.
 
A bit of travel info Saturday morning we headed to Wuppertal to ride the Schwebebahn.

Interesting engineering, although it's extremely ugly to my eye but shows the considerable forethought of 120 yrs ago when vehicle congestion wouldn't have (yet) been an issue.
At least it would have already been there when the current 1st and 2nd floor flat dwellers moved in.
