Recap 2012, part 2

Ok, I finished recap 1 at then end of June and here's the rest:

JULY: Started nice with a trip to our very good friends who has this magic summerhouse in Söderbärke, Dalarna. It has become a tradition that we visit them for a weekend during summer and such a wonderful one :-)
Beautiful view in Söderbärke
When we returned home, we just repacked and went to "our hotel" again for a 2 night stay. Always nice and we had a wonderful weather and could sit outside enjoying our dinner at the waterfront.

Back home again I again repacked and went by train to Malmö for a 3-night stay at "my" Malmö-hotel, always Savoy. I try to go there once a year to visit my Mom's cousin who lives there. She's just amazing and we are truly soul spirits and have so much fun together. She turns 85 now in January and lives in a house by herself, her mind is clear and she's very active.

Home again in our house for a couple of days before the next holiday event. This time we set sail with RCCL's Vision of the Seas for a 8 day-cruise around the Baltic Sea. We had a very nice junior suite on deck 8 and the cruise was fantastic! It is something so different from the cruises we do from Stockholm usually. They could learn a lot by watching the big cruise ships.

Helsinki, St Petersburg, Riga, Gdynia, Sopot, Gdansk and Visby was on the itinerary.

July ended bad though, because I got an inflammation in my pelvis which made me very handicaped, and I had to use crutches to be able to walk :-(

AUGUST: August was the big jubileemonth with the Rheumatic association and a lot of my time went to planning and the party itself. Before the big day Helen and I went to my favorite hotel that recently had opened a SPA so we had a very luxurious weekend there.

 Peter and Matilda entertained us....
 and so did H.E.A.T
The jubilee party which I have described earlier was a huge success and everything went according to plan and beyond :-)

SEPTEMBER: My birthday month and think it's only one year left to 60! (2014)
I can't believe that at all! Must be something wrong with my birthyear ;-)
Anyway September wasn't very good health wise and I even ended up at the ER which was a horrifying experience.
Anyway I had an MR which showed inflammation of the pelvis and even inflammatory changes. But I couldn't get any medicine for that since I also had an infection in my jaw which needed operation.
I did managed some nice things as well, like a trip to Norrköping with my sis Helen, staying at hotel, going on a wonderful concert with my friends Peter and Matilda. Always nice to spend time with Helen :-)

And at the end of the month we had a boardmeeting conference at hotel J which wasn't the best sadly enough.

OCTOBER: My health problems continued and on the 11th I was operated by a toothsurgeon which had to take a tooth out. The infection had damaged so much and I had no bone left in the jaw so very big infection, in fact one of the worst he had seen in his 20 years of practice.
We also had a chairman conference at "my" hotel for all the chairmen in the Rheumatic association of Stockholm.

NOVEMBER: I still had health issues and my inflammation came back.
Despite that I went to a conference with my association of Upplands Väsby at a hotel in Nynäshamn.
The big thing was H.E.A.T's own headlining concert at Klubben, Fryshuset.

A fantastic magic gig with so many familiar faces. We alone were 10 people there :-)
We also hosted a Christmas party at the Rheumatic association but by then I was so ill so the next days ahead I was in bed with fever and could hardly walk.

DECEMBER: We Stayed at "our hotel" and ate Christmastable which is like the Swedish smorgasbord with some changes.
I also attended a Christmas concert performed by my friends Peter and Matilda. It was just a wonderful concert and filled me with Christmas spirit.
I did miss one with Real Group because I was too sick then to go :-(

I was also to ill to go to the Christmas celebration at my work which was very sad. I had at that time fever and slept around 18 hours every day.
So the ending of the year wasn't great but hopefully 2013 will be a better year healthwise.

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.
