Nice weather, H.E.A.T and Mom visits


We have had really nice weather this week, so far, and it's now getting almost too hot, at least for me. Today we reached 30C and since we don't have any aircond it's not easy to be in the house. Therefore it's nicer to drive :-)

Yesterday me and Jona went down to see my Mom. She has been very ill and since Jona is out touring he wanted to go there because you never know when it's going to be the last time.
Funny enough she was quite cheerful and recognized Jona as the one playing and asked if he was out playing. She doesn't remember names but she does know our faces. I love this photo of my Mom and Jona. It's really love and they both looks so happy :-)
We sat with her for a couple of hours chatting away mostly about old times. It was very nice.
Afterwards we went to Danniel and had lunch together all three of us. Jona and I also did some shopping before heading home.

Of course Jona forgot what he had bought so today I brought it to him since he needed it this weekend when they are performing. I promised I would take him to Eric in Kista but before that we visited Jimmy in his and Karin's new flat. It was just wonderful. So tastefully decorated although not many furnitures since they just moved in.
Then we went to Jysk and Stalands to look for some furnitures and an overlay mattress. We didn't buy anything but Jona got a feel for what he wants in his new flat.
Then on to Eric and I went up and saw his and Stina's flat as well. Very nice too.

When I returned home there had been several calls for me among them one from Mom's elderly home who told Hasse she was very upset and sad and wanted to talk to someone so they called Danniel. He was kind and went down to talk to her. When he arrived she was very surprised and had forgotten all about it.

That is what is so sad about Alzheimer's. They can be so upset and the next minute they have forgotten everything about it.

Saturday is Helen's birthday and we are both going to Mom and celebrate it. I haven't worked out what to buy her yet but I will think of something. I usually do :-) I'm not too keen on giving "things". We do have too much of that. I want to give something to remember. It could be a concert, a theater, a musical, a day at a spa or even an overnight stay and of course I will accompanie her, lol.

Do you my readers have any suggestions? I leave you with that to ponder on. Talk to you soon.

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...

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...
