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.

WOW!!! I just have to say Wow!

Why do you ask? I just got a mail telling me that I have won a romantic trip to Paris for 2! I enrolled in this competition, last year, which was to write a slogan and I had forgot all about it when the mail came. I didn't remember it even then so I had to go to the site and see what it was :-) I'm so happy! and so is Hasse :-) We had a great Easter which started with a wonderful ballet, Giselle, at the Royal Opera with my friend Carina. We are going again tomorrow to see Puccinis Turandot :-) The next day Easter Day we went to Gavle and this time we actually stayed at a hotel, Elite Grand hotel. A newly opened hotel, March 1, where we had the executive suite. What a suite! I have to show you some photos. One of the best suites I've ever stayed in!   The suite taken from the "living-room area"  From the "cosy" area with wood burning stove   Our "little" bathroom with green marble Part of the bedroom What do yo...

Christmas gift

For Christmas I got a giftcard to Amazon.com from my sister Jo. It was a real treat to go to the site, explore and find something to buy. There are so many things there and it's hard to choose. For me, leaving in Sweden, it's a bit easier. I just cross the square that says "ships to Sweden" and I get all the things I can order. My choice was Bliss socks and a big bottle of Dermalogica body cream. They came today and I'm so happy. So once again a big thank you big sis for the generous gift.  

BIRTHDAY, H.E.A.T, E.R and more...

Some of the wonderful flowers I got And some more Last week didn't start out well. On Monday I woke up and could hardly walk. I had such pain every step I tried to take. But off to work anyway. Tuesday even worse so I went to the doctor's office and asked to borrow crutches. Wednesday at work jumping on crutches, that must have been a sight ;-) But when I came home from work Wednesday I had fever so I went to bed quite early but didn't sleep well because of the constant pain. Thursday morning I woke up and had fever so I called the hospital and they said I had to go to the E.R. I hate that and if I can I always try to avoid it. But I was in so much pain I had to. I came and after a while they took bloodtests, urine and then I sat in a kind of smallish room. After being there for about 3 hours a doctor came and said I probably should see and orthopedic and not a medicine doctor. After one more hour another doctor came and said my bloodtest showed I had an i...
