Depois dos primeiros 550 km, eu comecei a ter dores no pé esquerdo, eu e mais cem peregrinos diagnosticamos o caso como tendinite, mas mesmo assim decidi ir ao medico em Leon, e mesmo sem tocar no meu pé, sem raio x e sem nenhum outro teste, o medico concordou com o 'nosso' diagnostico, mas o que ele recomendou estava absolutamente fora de questão..."Repouso??? Como assim??". Enfim, praticamente me arrastei nos últimos 100 quilômetros e só quando cheguei a Londres, depois de fazer uma ressonância magnética é que o medico descobriu que na verdade, além da tendinite, eu ainda tive 'fratura por estresse' no pé esquerdo, e acumulo de fluido nos dois pés, e no meu "pé bom" (o direito) a inflamação foi muito mais seria do que pensávamos, agora tenho os dois pés imobilizados e vou ter que usar muletas por 6 semanas e andar o mínimo possível, um pouco além do que eu esperava...&lt;br /&gt;Para compensar, o 'caminho' foi com certeza uma das experiências mais incríveis e inesquecíveis que tive em minha vida. Por alguma razão, tenho tido muita dificuldade de escrever sobre essa experiência, são tantas memórias (ainda desorganizadas), lembrancas, rostos, historias... enfim, li muito pouco sobre o Caminho de Santiago, e o pouco que li confesso ter achado piegas e fantasioso, mas já que fui, vi e senti, devo admitir que o Caminho de Santiago é realmente especial, mas não da para descrever, nem explicar , tem que ser vivido, experimentado. De qualquer maneira depois quero fazer um pequeno resumo com a rotina no 'caminho', as pessoas que conheci, as paisagens (numa extensão de 780km), as historias que motivaram cada um a fazer o caminho, enfim um pouquinho de tudo que vi e ouvi.&lt;br /&gt;As fotos já estão no blog, eu tive muita dificuldade de escolhe-las, inicialmente eram mais de 1000 fotos, e com muito trabalho conseguir reduzir para menos de 500, todas tem um significado diferente, todas são especiais por alguma razão e eu espero que gostem.&lt;br /&gt;E se algum dia vocês tiverem oportunidade de fazer o caminho, por favor não deixem de ir, eu já estou planejando voltar...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3333050230927449042-3974915944170407285?l=familianunesblack.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://familianunesblack.blogspot.com/feeds/3974915944170407285/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3333050230927449042&amp;postID=3974915944170407285' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3333050230927449042/posts/default/3974915944170407285'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3333050230927449042/posts/default/3974915944170407285'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://familianunesblack.blogspot.com/2007/07/queridos-amigos-como-maioria-de-vocs-j.html' title=''/><author><name>THE BLACKS</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6c/Bas%C3%ADlica_de_Santiago_02.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3333050230927449042.post-3652046596718122979</id><published>2007-06-24T04:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-24T05:37:22.909-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Photos - EL CAMINO DE SANTIAGO</title><content type='html'>I've tried to select the best pictures of my experience of El Camino de Santiago; I have over 1,000 photos and each one represents a special moment to which I have an emotional attachment.

Dayse left around 8:30 am via Taxi from London Bridge Station to Liverpool Street Station, where she took a train to &lt;st1:placename st="on"&gt;Stansted&lt;/st1:placename&gt; &lt;st1:placetype st="on"&gt;Airport&lt;/st1:placetype&gt;, north of &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;London&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;First though, while trying to purchase a train ticket from an automat machine, she had a technical problem, i.e. the machine took her money, but did not produce the ticket.  As she stood there, trying figure out the problem, a "stranger" came up and explained to her that she needed to go to the nearby ticket office for a refund.  As Dayse walked over, she noticed the stranger was at the automat and that it produced her £20 note and he proceeded to walk away with it...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;As ever, undaunted, Dayse runs up to the guy, and says "Is THAT my MONEY"?  The man gives Dayse a puzzled and guilty look, hands it over and runs away...&lt;i style=""&gt;mulher loca&lt;/i&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;Anyways, our traveller's journey continues.  Dayse gets her ticket, makes it to &lt;st1:placename st="on"&gt;Stansted&lt;/st1:placename&gt; &lt;st1:placetype st="on"&gt;Airport&lt;/st1:placetype&gt;, and catches her Ryan Air flight to &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Biarritz&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;.  From the airport, where she bought a ticket from &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Biarritz&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port for €8, Dayse took a short Taxi ride to the train station, but there was a small problem; the next train left at 21:15 and she needed to be in Saint-Jean much earlier to get a room and a meal at one of the &lt;i style=""&gt;Auberges&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Fortunately, Dayse met a couple who were also Pilgrims in the same predicament and for €50 they shared a taxi ride to Saint-Jean.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;Once in Saint-Jean, Dayse checks in to the Pilgrim’s Office, where she gets her special Pilgrim’s Passport and notices “Stinky”; another Pilgrim in need of a bath…more about him later.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;After a short meal and meeting several other Pilgrims (including a few Brazilians…) Dayse prepares for the night at her first &lt;i style=""&gt;Auberge&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;She is in a room with three bunk beds, and one single (seven beds in total) and, taking a top bunk, gets ready for a good sleep…but then she smells something…ah, her neighbour is Stinky!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;After a while, Dayse decides to see if there is a free bed in another part of the &lt;i style=""&gt;Auberge&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;The proprietor is a woman, who speaks no English or Portuguese (French only), but somehow indicates that there is a free bed in another room.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Dayse goes there, but it is totally full, and unable to find the proprietor again, Dayse goes back to her original bed, next to Stinky…it is now about 21:00&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;Shortly after Midnight she is awoken to yelling in French, which she does not understand and occasional interjected “”f*** you!” directed at her by the proprietor!&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;A semi-sober &lt;i style=""&gt;Auberge&lt;/i&gt; employee, also staying in the same room, explains in broken English that Dayse must leave immediately…eventually the drunkard goes back to sleep and the crazy French lady leaves…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;Dayse surmised that the woman must have thought there was a free bed, given that Dayse moved to the other room and that another Pilgrim showed up; whatever, the lady, besides being a rude disservice to her country and the sacred &lt;i style=""&gt;El Camino&lt;/i&gt;, obviously needs some help with her math and business management skills…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;Well, suffice to say, Dayse did not sleep real well after that; between Stinky and Drunkard, she was more than a bit annoyed and disturbed.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Plus, what about the rest of the jerks in the room who acted like they were asleep during this whole episode?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;Dayse was up and out at 6:00, grabbed a quick baguette at the local market and began her perhaps hardest day…a 9.5 hour hike, with her 20 pound pack, uphill, over the &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:placename st="on"&gt;Pyrenees&lt;/st1:placename&gt; &lt;st1:placetype st="on"&gt;Mountains&lt;/st1:placetype&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Dayse’s record to date had been a 6 hour hike, with 15 pounds, all flat terrain.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Did I mention that it was pouring down rain as well?&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Nonetheless, the Trooper made it to Spain around 17:00, had a hot meal, met some Pilgrims (there were plenty along the way, but Dayse, who is VERY grumpy when she is tired, was in no mood for idle chit-chat) and had, I am sure a great sleep at what seems to be a much better &lt;i style=""&gt;Refugio&lt;/i&gt;, as &lt;i style=""&gt;Auberges&lt;/i&gt;

O psedomixoma peritoneal tem origem no apêndice ou no ovário, no caso da origem ser no apêndice a denominação e: Muco Adenocarcinoma de Apêndice. O muco e uma substancia espessa de origem glandular. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="RTE"&gt;&lt;span class="gmail_quote"&gt;No caso do Joe em especifico, o tumor inicial no apêndice se rompeu, com disseminação na porção direita do cólon, na curva sigmoidal, numa mínima porção do intestino delgado e numa extensa área do peritoneo, com concentração na porção direita do abdômen (do fígado a pélvis).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="RTE"&gt;&lt;span class="gmail_quote"&gt;Esse tipo de cancer, além de raro, conta com um numero limitado de médicos treinados para o seu tratamento. Por sua localização, esse tumor não recebe grande suplemento sanguíneo e por isso não responde bem a quimioterapia sistemica (como único tratamento), o mais indicado nesse caso e a cirurgia citorredutora (remoção de todo o tecido comprometido) associada a quimioterapia hipertermica (aquecida) localizada (diretamente dentro do abdômen), a quimioterapia e realizada imediatamente após a cirurgia citorredutora (ainda no centro cirúrgico), e seguida de 4 outras sessões (diárias e consecutivas) de quimioterapia intrabdominal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="RTE"&gt;&lt;span class="gmail_quote"&gt;O diagnostico do Joe aconteceu no dia 16 de novembro de 2005, após uma cirurgia de 3 horas em que o tumor inicial foi removido, seguido então da cirurgia citorredutora no dia 23 de marco de 2006, sendo essa com duração de 10 horas; o baço, a vesícula, uma grande porção do peritoneo e outra porção do cólon foram removidos. Com a remoção de uma segunda parte do cólon, o uma ileostomia temporario se fez necessario. Foram quase 4 semanas de internação e apenas algumas semanas de descanso ate o inicio da quimioterapia sistemica, que foi iniciada em Atlanta (4 sessões) e finalizada em Londres (8 sessões) e durou cerca de 8 meses (devido ao sistema imunológico baixo, varias sessões tiveram que ser adiadas)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="RTE"&gt;&lt;span class="gmail_quote"&gt;Ainda durante todo o período, Joe sofreu 2 tromboses (mais alguns dias de internação) e 2 outras pequenas cirurgias, a primeira, uma tentativa frustrada de implante de um porto abdominal e outra para o implante do porto para a quimioterapia sistemica.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="RTE"&gt;&lt;span class="gmail_quote"&gt;E finalmente a ultima cirurgia no dia 23 de janeiro de 2007, em que a ileostomia foi revertida e o nosso medico aproveitou a oportunidade para também checar toda a cavidade abdominal. Nenhum tumor foi encontrado, o que significa que a chance de cura e enorme, e Joe finalmente foi declarado "limpo". &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="gmail_quote"&gt;O tratamento acabou, mas os cuidados não, Joe terá que passar por um controle rígido, testes de sangue a cada 3 meses e CT Scan (teste de imagem de alta resolução) a cada 6 meses, após 5 anos sem recorrência da doença, os testes terão intervalos de 6 e 12 meses e assim sucessivamente.&lt;br /&gt;Mais informações sobre pseudomixoma peritoneal, por favor acesse os links listados ao lado (paginas em inglês e português).&lt;/span&gt; &lt;div class="RTE"&gt;&lt;span class="gmail_quote"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3333050230927449042-4532596230465405808?l=familianunesblack.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://familianunesblack.blogspot.com/feeds/4532596230465405808/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3333050230927449042&amp;postID=4532596230465405808' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3333050230927449042/posts/default/4532596230465405808'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3333050230927449042/posts/default/4532596230465405808'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://familianunesblack.blogspot.com/2007/04/pseudomixoma-peritoneal.html' title='PSEUDOMIXOMA PERITONEAL'/><author><name>THE BLACKS</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6c/Bas%C3%ADlica_de_Santiago_02.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
