Hospitals, parties, H.E.A.T and Opera

This week has really been both awful and wonderfully funny. I think it's the way God, or whatever higher power you believe in, sees to it that we get a balance in things so we can endure bad things.
The week started rather good with rheuma gymnastics which is made to suit our aching bodies. We do have to move trying to get stronger.
Tuesday was care planning for O who is still in hospital. He has gangrane in a foot and it's spreading up in his leg. They made an angiography but there was nothing to do. It was too big blockage. The surgeons said no to do a by pass in the leg. His condition is too bad and he wouldn't pull through such a big operation. But it's funny, or rather sad, that you as a relative have to be almost trained doctor. Why do I say that? Well, I asked the doctor what painrelief O had and he said none?!?!
None with a gangrane? O hadn't said he was in pain so they didn't give him any. But you just have to look at him to see he's in such pain that he can't hardly move. I also told the doctor that it was infected and smelled awful so after my remark they started him on antibiotics?!?! How about that? Maybe I should have a paycheck from the hospital as consultant :-).

Wednesday I sneeked in a hairdresser appointment. Had to do something with my hair since it was party yesterday.

Thursday once again hospital time this time with Mom. It was her memory training that she goes to every 3 months. She has Alzheimer and has become much worse since all this started with O and hospital and short time home.

Yesterday we celebrated a H.E.A.T mom who turned 50. She is mother to the bassplayer of the band. I had the best of times. It was so funny. We had a 3-meal course , drinks, wine, coffee, cake, avec, more drinks, games, quizes , karaoke and performance by H.E.A.T.
The photos show me before the party, J and L from the band singing karaoke and the birthday girl V and her husband. I danced a lot, I was heard of hearing this morning and my body aches but it was so worth it. We came home 4.30 AM. Thank you for a wonderful party.


Today I was at the Opera and saw Falstaff by Verdi which is based on the novel "The merry wives of Windsor" by W. Shakespeare. It was funny and a great performance by especially Loa Falkman who played Falstaff.

My lucky moment yesterday was of course to see and hear my J play with the band. And how they played. It's really hard to be still when they start playing. I just loved it! And it really made my mother's heart so proud.

Lucky moment today was Falstaff. I sat a lot of times with a smile on my face. It was also very funny to see T.S in the orchestra. I haven't seen him in many many years but we use to date when I was young. Sweet memories.

Magic numbers 111111. Think about it - it's 100 years til next time and then none of us will be here. Other than that nothing much happened today.

I have also cooked prime rib in red wine the whole afternoon and it's so tender and smells delicious. Danniel and Emil is coming over for dinner tomorrow since Sunday is Father's Day here in Sweden.

Recap of the week

This week meant a lot to do and I'm afraid I haven't taken the time to write here :-( But here's a recap of what has happened. Monday and Tuesday not very much but I was so, so tired and my joints does not like this weather at all. I have so much pain especially in my hands and fingers which makes it hard even to write here.  On Wednesday I went to Norrtälje to my good friend Anne for some treatment, which was very much needed, lots of chat and also a very good lunch. It's always a pleasure to see her and we have so much to talk about all the time. A true friend who I'm so grateful of having. Next day it was time for work and after that directly to the working committe in the Rheumatic association. Afterwards also meeting in the foundation, where we grant money to people who have applied, and fulfill the rules of the statues. When driving home again at night, it's so dark now and I hate driving in the dark, there was an accident with a big truck a...

Anyone??

I wonder if anyone can see and read my blogg? I haven't had any comments in so long that's why I ask. Erik didn't win a Grammy last night but he had a blast and he and his fiancé looked just great! Another Swede, Ludwig Göransson, won 3 prices though. Congrats to him.
