[stud1955] Tilbageblik over de seneste 10 ar
Flemming Hoeg
Kære studenterkammerater,
It feels great that so many of us are still about.
Being a numbers man, I have noted that most of us were born in a special year: 1936.
In fact this is the only square year number (44*44) in the 20th century. J
During our childhood we experienced a treasure-trove of optimistic, motivational Danish songs.
Songs with sunny, energetic melodies like: “Jeg bærer med smil min byrde” and “Løft dit hoved du raske gut, om a håb eller to blir brudt”.
I feel those songs have left their mark.
Also I find a lot of truth in the old adage: “Use it or lose it”.
Keeping myself physically and mentally energetic, active and agile makes life so much more attractive. As an example: paced-walking and paced-running feels good.
If there is some soreness left after stretching then it is time to give myself deep tissue massage.
Keeping the lungs working well by breathing deeply and make it a habit to keep the mouth closed while sleeping makes it easier to get a deep sleep.
10 years ago I emailed you “Flemming’s beretning” about main happenings in my life until our 2005 reunion.
Since then, I have been lucky enough to further grow my skills in overcoming obstacles and making things happen.
My wife, Jane and I wanted to have a baby and we used IVF successfully with result at first try.
Our daughter Agnes (named after my maternal grandmother) was born 7 August 2010.
She inherited a number of my features, but she is just as extrovert as I was introvert at that age. J
It is amazing to observe how easily she talks to new kids.
When she runs past them she says: ”Come on”, and kids even double her age follow her. Agnes is energetic but not a tomboy.
She has a great sense of colours and has ongoing arguments with her mother about what clothes to wear. She helps keeping us young.
Regarding my health, a biopsy in January 2012 showed a serious Gleason score of 4+5, indicating fast growing Prostate Cancer.
The cancer surgeon I consulted indicated that it was too late for surgery as the cancer most likely would have spread beyond what surgery could do for me.
My initial response was to try the Budwig Diet, recommended on the web. For two months it seemed to work, but then it failed
Based on my surgeon’s recommendation, I then agreed to undergo combined Hormone and Radiation Oncology Treatment at the neighbouring Greenslopes Hospital.
My quarterly Zoladex hormone injections started on 30 May 2012 and finished on 9 December 2013, but their effect lasted many months after.
My first daily Radiation treatment took place on 20 November 2012 and the last on 18 January 2013.
Since then I have had a number of PSA tests that all indicates I am now cancer free. Currently my PSA is 0.15 so it is behaving well.
To counteract the loss of energy caused by the hormone treatment, I started making and taking Protein shake.
The shake contains Dr Mercola’s Miracle Whey combined with Wagner’s MSM Joint Formula (combining MSM, Glucosamine and Chondroitin).
Now my energy is fine and getting things done makes me even more energetic.
For a while I experienced painful Arthritis (Gigt). It woke me up early in the morning, so what to do about it?
Initially I used small magnets that worked like short term pain killers, but the many small band aids required too much mucking around and didn’t look very appealing.
Instead I achieved better results by rebuilding the muscle strength and blood circulation in my fingers and arms.
I achieved that through hot water treatment, bending, rubbing, stretching fingers, banging the palms together as hard as I possibly can and by breaking up cardboard with my fingers.
Now Arthritis doesn’t wake me up anymore.
If I can feel it, I make it go away by giving it a hard time. Bang Bang Bang etc. J
I am refining my architectural skills.
Within the last couple of years I have designed and added two new villas to my International Village.
This is the first of three new stages of property development.
In my design I incorporated traditional Queensland features like many window lights.
To some extend this also reflect Danish Poetry: ”Ruderne er ganske små” (H.C. Andersen), and makes it ”hyggeligt”.
A photo is attached below. As you can see I am not afraid of using strong colours. J
The second stage of property development is now under preparation.
Unfortunately the preparations coincide with our 60 years reunion.
Therefore I won’t be able to attend the reunion.
Anyway things may be better 10 years from now. See you then and enjoy yourselves. J
Best regards from Flemming

Jamen Finn dog!
Jeg har idag modtaget dit meget negative svar til mit 10 års tilbageblik
Desværre dokumenterer dit svarbrev at det er gået så meget tilbage for dig at du har mistet din mentale smidighed og nu har svært ved at forstå engelsk.
I vor gymnasietid havde du ikke problemer med at læse engelsk eller udtrykke dig på engelsk.
Dengang tog du en stærk interesse i udenlandsk litteratur.
Nu er du fanatisk negativ med hensyn til engelsk
Også din mentale evne til at drage logiske konklusioner er gået tilbage.
Baseret på mit skriftlige indlæg konkluderer at jeg ikke mere kan tale dansk.
Skrive og tale er stadig ikke det samme.
Ydermere selv om jeg skriver sætninger på dansk konkluderer du at jeg ikke mere kan tale dansk.
Jeg skriver på Engelsk fordi det giver mig mulighed for mere klart at beskrive mine udfordringer og erfaringer fra det sidste tiår I håbet om at det kan hjælpe klassekammerater med tilsvarende problemer.
Desværre finder du det for kompliceret.
Hvis du havde gjort dig mere umage med at læse mit indlæg ville du have fundet at jeg skriver meget positivt om “den danske sangskat”
Så jeg tager ikke afstand fra det danske sprog.
Jeg ønsker alt godt for dig og alle klassekammeraterne.
De bedste hilsener fra Flemming

Kære Flemming
Skal jeg forstå, at du ikke mere kan tale dansk. Det skuffer mig.
Som den hjemmefødning jeg er, forstår jeg desværre ikke ret meget at dit indlæg, så jeg har svært ved få sammenhæng i indholdet, og jeg kan derfor ikke kommentere det.
Jeg håber inderligt at sproget til vores jubilæum bliver godt dansk
på et fornuftigt plan, så jeg kommer beriget hjem!
Jeg ønsker naturligvis alt godt for dig og dine
Mange gode hilsener
Finn Herrik
