Doctor's appointment

Today I went to see my doctor. My asthma wasn't that good and I also discovered my curve looked like COL which isn't good.

He thinks my aches right now in the shoulder and the swolling I had on my wrist and foot before is due to my situation. Also the fact that I have gained weight without eating more is due to this. As I might have said before my body is made for the stoneage and not modern times. I asked my doctor if they had a pill I could get to make my body realize we are in the 21th century but he only laughed :-)). So I have to live with this until my situation gets calmer and my body finally will realize there is no war nor any danger. I will however take a cortison-cure that is start with 30 mg and slowly go down til zero. And I also got a new medicine Cymbalta which is supposed to take away pain and also in a small way tell my body it's modern times now ;-) I sure hope it will work.

Mom is worse again and I think it's because the trauma of felling out of her bed and breaking her hand as well as dislocate something in the hand (they didn't tell me exactly). They did of course take her to the hospital for X-rays and plaster but today she got worse and wouldn't go out of bed and she couldn't communicate with them.
They then wanted to take her to hospital but I said NO. She is to stay where she knows the staff and where she feels safe. This is her way of dealing with the pain. And I told the nurse that she's like a baby unable to communicate what's wrong with her.
Aren't trained nurses supposed to know these things??? Is it really my role as relative to tell them how to treat my Mom. They just gave her Alvedon!! For a broken and dislocated hand??? Anyone with common sense could tell that this wouldn't be enough. So now she's on morphine. Finally and maybe now she can be calm and without pain.

I wonder how everyone that doesn't have any relatives close. What kind of treatment do they get?? I hope my boys will speak for me when or if I'm not able to myself.

Take care, Love you all (you know who you are)

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...
