This is my biography
Age 0-5
I was borned i Copenhagen, my mother is from Norway and my father is from Denmark.
My parents got divorced very early in my life, I was only two years old.
A very signifi
cant ting that happened very early in my life was when I was three years old, my mother got a brain stroke and
at the hospital when the doctor and nurses was preparing for doing a x-ray in order to
locate the exact point of the stroke they gave her an injection of contrast dye.
It turned out that she got a serious allergic reaction to the contrast dye
witch caused that she become which made her permanent
ly paralyzed from her neck and down.
My mother was 33 years old when she become handicapped. It was of
course a massive
crisis in her life and I have come to understand later that I, little Morten, become a very important little person for her. I was the motivation for her to take the choice to continue to live, to go trough the rehabilitation and find her way back to life.
After a period
e at the hospital my mother got in rehabilitation on Hornbæk rehabilitation clinic in Denmark for about a year. For some reason she decided that I was going to live with her on the rehabilitation clinic. This was the first time in history that the clinic ever accepted a child to live there with his parent. A rehabilitation clinic is obviously not the best place for a child to be and the staff there did not accept me to stay there
in the first place at first, but my mother was stubborn and in the end she got her will.
It was probably on the rehabilitation clinic I stated to developed my talent for
Sacred? (scare) Clowning.
I was at the time still only three years old and hanging out most of my time with seriously injured people. Everyone that has been in a hospital or in rehabilitation institution know how
heavy? the energy can be there. And I can imagine that me, little Morten, was a beautiful contrast to the environment with my playfulness, curiosity and spontaneity. I can clearly see how healing it must have been for the people on the rehab to interact with the pure presence of a little sweet boy. I can also see what role I got and took for my mother in such an early age. I was the reason for my mother to take the choice to continue to live, I was the reason my mother took the fight to go trough what she needed to do in order to get her life back. Not the life she had before, but a completely new life with tremendously amount of limitations and hindrances.
