Surgery, wedding and car

So it's been a while since my last update and there were plenty of things going on in the meanwhile.

Surgery

A couple of weeks before the weeding, just as I was planning how and when to ask for a holiday from work, I got terribly sick one Friday morning. I was aware I had some very little stones in my gallblader (sigh, my parents have it, my grandma had it as well) and was feeling pain some nights when I ate too much and too greasy, but didn't think it would hurt this much. So after a quick visit to the emergency of the hospital, it turned out that they weren't that small anymore. The ecographist said that this thing is no joke and even if it was removed yesterday, it would have been too late and I should consult a surgeon ASAP. Before I knew I was in the hospital again and couldn't leave. Monday came around and I had my gallblader removed without any complications. 2 days were pretty rough, cause I could barely move, but when Wednesday came around, as if magic happened, I was suddenly feeling pretty good. So after this I got 2 weeks off from work and all my planning was in vain.

Wedding

I was pretty weak after the surgery, but on the bright side we didn't have that much to prepare as we invited only the close family and some of our best friends - we were around 60 people. It all went smoothly, we had a great time. But due to my post-intervention weakness, we opted not to go on a honeymoon (the doctor advised me not to swim for a couple of weeks, in order not to risk an infection). We stayed with our parents a week, before returning to Bucharest to get back to work.

Car
So now that we are officially together, we thought we could use a car to be able to travel around the country (and to be able to go home whenever we want, as Bucharest is like 250 km away from our home town). My wife is only now getting her driving licence and we didn't want to invest too much money into a car (nor did we have infinite buget for one ). After more than a month of searching, I finally found a Volkswagen Bora which seemed to fill all our wishes. Nothing special though, it's over 10 years old, but it was only 3k, which is pretty decent for what it offers.

We are looking at some possible places to visit as I still have most of my holiday days, because of the 2 week medical leave.

All in all life is good, I could say.

Take care guys! <3

Glad the surgery went well! You and your wife look beautiful and happy together

Best of luck in the future! Will you be going on a honeymoon eventually? Where to?

Thanks!

Yeah, we are thinking about visiting my grandparents in the northern side of the country and do a tour around there. We actually wanted to snap off some last minute deal to Greece at the start of this month, but she took and passed the theoretical exam and is now due to have the driving part on the 18th and has to practice as much as possible, so we rescheduled Greece for next year.

Manual is all the fun, there is in driving a car :D Also MPG increases considerably when driving a manual compared to an automatic.

Hot wife dude. You two look great together. Grats.

Is it normal for somebody to be getting their driving license so late in Romania?

The legal age is 18, but she didn't want to get it initially. So, while not that common, it still happens from time to time.

Manual is for drivers. Auto is for commuters
