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.

Oh my God

The Christmas smorgasbord I just realized I haven't written anything since November 23! But I can tell you I haven't been lazy but there has been so much going on that I haven't had the strength to write. I had meetings that week and I was supposed to be at a conference hotel for lunch that Friday but I was to tired I had to cancel it. So instead I baked safron buns (!) and made chocolate troufles with ginger.  The ferry On December 1 it was Staffan's birthday (Hasse's oldest son) and I worked and worked at my job. Thursday I and Hasse were supposed to go to the theatre and see Come again Charlie, which was one of my birthday presents - thank you Pär and Brita. But Hasse wasn't feeling well so instead I asked Linnea, my bonus grand daughter if she wanted to go and she was very happy that I asked. We had a really good time and the play, which was a comedy, was funny but also with a message which made you laugh and then stop. It was about the si...

Sad day

Tonight Olle, my adoptive father that has been like my father almost all my life, died just before 9PM. It was very quick. I talked to the nurse at 6PM and everything was calm then. Just a bit over 2 hours later she called and said he's gotten worse. I asked how and she said his skin changed colour and that he could have 10 minutes or 10 hours left. I was just trying to get to my sister on the phone and ask her if we should go down when the phone rang again just 15 minutes afterwards and it was the nurse telling me that it was over. He went very peacefully and in his sleep. At the end he was given a lot of morphine so he wouldn't be in pain, which he wasn't. I called my sister but we both felt that we already had said our goodbyes and therefore didn't go down to say a last goodbye. He is probably up there somewhere looking down and sensing our feelings. We haven't been able to reach our mother yet and we probably won't tonight so I will tell her when I go there ...

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.
