Houses? Hospitals? Stuck here AGAIN?
In this week's van life vlog - we're back! It's been a few weeks since Malin's Midnight ambulance pickup where she was taken in to the hospital, and we've had a week off from vlogging to catch our breaths a bit. That said, during our 'week off' we've had birthdays, hospital visits and cancer scans... so refreshed we are not!
This week we're chatting about what happens next? We are planning to take our van life adventures back down to southern Europe, including Spain and Portugal for the winter, however we're at risk of being stuck here in Sweden, again. Winter van life for the second year in a row?

We are a young 'Swenglish' adventure family; Malin, Tom, and young kids Charlie & Isabella. Last year we embraced full time van life! We love all kinds of adventures, including travelling around Europe in our self-built campervan called Sunny, facing the challenges of what it means to be ‘cancer-free’, after a rough battle with colon cancer.

MIDNIGHT AMBULANCE COLLECTION. We’re done.

In this week’s vlog Malin was once again picked up by an ambulance and taken to the hospital, this time in the middle of the night. Van life with cancer is starting to take its toll. She’s been suffering with acute abdominal pains which we believe is a side effect from her multiple surgeries. Malin had 2 major operations along with radiation therapy and chemotherapy as treatment towards her col...

    I love watching your family - you all are adorable. Malin, my mom had Colon Cancer like 25 years ago, and afterwards was in pain like you. She was diagnosed with something called malignant adhesions. Basically, her body produced tons more adhesions (scar tissue) than the average person. I don't know if that is what is going on with you, but at least thought I would mention it, in case it could help you. She did have to have some removed later on as she needed another surgery. Best wishes to you for answers and for a pain free future.

    Unfortunately the few spoilit for everyone else. We have a lovely local walk by stream but people go sit there and leave their rubbish behind. Im sure they don't go there because it looks like a rubbish dump but because it's a beauty spot. They only have to take it back to the car park where there is a bin to put it in. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

    Easier said than done, but don't take the negative people personally. They see things through their own eyes. Also, they don't seem too adventurous!

    I believe your scans are going to be amazing and you're going to be able to travel. I can tell you if you end up with adhesions and have to have them removed. I literally just had the surgery. I'm actually still in the hospital as I write this. My surgery was five hours long. The pain's been unreal. They've had to remove adhesions from my bladder, my kidneys, my liver, my pancreas and all over. We're trying to manage my pain. I'm hoping that eventually the pain will be manage and I will get to go home. I'm hoping that this is the cure of me not having to go in and out of the hospital like you are. I pray that you're just goes away without any surgery.

    Yay! Your back! So so good to see you both. I am appalled at how mean people can be. Evil is in the air as so many Content Creators are getting so many mean comments on their Channel. Try not to let them get to you ok ! I know it’s got to be hard, that’s why I decided to not start a channel as Iam so kind hearted and there is no way I could take all the mean comments and I know there would be some as all get them. People are so miserable,they want to try to make other miserable as well. You both handle it with grace. So glad your parents came Tom to spend time with y’all during Malin and Charlie’s birthdays. Happy Belated Birthday to both of you. I wish I had little grandchildren and or knew someone with little ones as I would buying you out Malin. I will eventually purchase some for the little ones at church. You do such an amazing job in making the adorable little critters. So cute. Can’t wait to hear how the House Shopping is going. And prayers that they find a Tx. And or procedures to STOP the Abdominal Pain sweetie. The temp here in Oklahoma really dropped over night. One day 91 degrees and woke up to in low 40’s and highs being in high 60’s. Stay warm and wow what a nice big Fishing Pole you got Charlie. You will be catching some Big fish with that pole. Love you all and hope all test come back Negative and wishing you all a great fun filled wkend. See ya on Tuesday.

I went to a physiotherapist for my IBS urgency symptoms and had huge relief. I couldn't get that through our public health system. Good idea of getting a house for the winter. Stress has a huge impact on pain and a calming environment away from the cold will help.

      @@malinandtom I’m not good with making animals or anything like that. I make blankets, hats, bandanas, and dream catchers but I have found that making pumpkins is super easy. I was held up in bed for months not being able to walk so I can understand the boredom of just lying there. I don’t know how many books I read and shows or movies until I was just so frustrated with it all. I finally found crocheting and diamond painting. Have you ever done diamond paintings? I think it would be something else you might enjoy. I like to frame mine. I am building a bedroom just to hang all my diamond paintings in it one day. 😂 I also taught myself how to sew and now make memory bears for people who have lost someone. I make them out of a piece or two of clothing from the loved one and do it absolutely free. If you interested in doing something of that sort I would be more than happy to send you a pattern?
