Oh, what a month it has been! A writer couldn't have written a better/worse story - but this just happens to be our life!

I want to talk about some of the things that have happened, not in order - too much interferes with each other, that's how life is.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lars had a minor fall, again. Fortunately, nothing happened. He got some bruises, that's all.

Compared to last year - this year has been a blessing, just because he hasn't fallen as much as last year.

As I told you last time, I broke my toe and it took a while before they found out that it was broken.

When I fell, I hurt my hip. However, the pain didn't go away. My GP gave me a referral to a physiotherapist. After a conversation with her, it was clear that she would not do anything until my hip was either scanned or an x-ray was taken?? I will forever be grateful to her for this. It turned out there is a fracture in my pelvis. As my doctor said, I could hope to be pain free by Christmas. I bet it will be much earlier than that.

At the same time as the broken toe, I got erysipelas. I had to go through 3 different type of penicillins before I was cured.

Finally, I would like to tell you, that Lars has stopped taking the Parkinson's medication. There was no positive effect. 

Lars has been depressed about this - but can it be any different when, what you hoped for, is not as expected? Unfortunately, Lars' mood is changing. Most days he is very withdrawn and in a mild bad mood. He is also difficult to motivate to particpate in activities.

Therefore, it was a victory today, after he said no, that he changed his mind and went for a drive. I had to get some large flower pots for the garden. Lars didn't want to get out of the car, but that was also ok. Just being with him made the day so much better.

The next few weeks will be exciting: Lars has to see both an ophthalmologist (annual check-up due to diabetes) and an otologist. 

In a few weeks time, I am going to the same ophthalmologist as I have begun to have dobble vision from time to time.

One thing I have noticed is the joy of the "small" things: being able to go out early in the morning and listen to the birds wake up. Right they wake up at abt. 4  in the morning. I love to hear the birds beginning their morning concert. 

It is a promise of a new beginning. A promise of hope. A promise of a love that lasts forever.

Åh, hvilken måned det har været! En forfatter kunne ikke have skrevet en bedre/værre historie - men dette er tilfældigvis er vores liv!

Jeg vil fortælle om nogle af de ting som er sket, ikke nødvendigvis i rækkefølge - for meget griber ind i hinanden, sådan er livet jo.

Lars havde igen et mindre fald. Der skete heldigvis ikke noget. Han fik nogle blå mærker, det var det hele.

Sammenlignet med sidste år - så har i år været en velsignelse, bare alene fordi han ikke har været faldet så meget som sidste år.

Som jeg fortalte sidste gang, så har jeg brækket min tå, og der gik et stykke tid før man fandt ud af at den var brækket.

Ved faldet fik jeg ondt i hoften.Smerterne i hoften fortsatte, så lægen gav mig en henvisning til en fysioterapeut. Efter en samtale med hende, stod det klart, at hun ikke ville gøre noget, før hoften enten blev skannet eller der blev taget et røntgen billede?? Jeg vil for altid være hende taknemmelig for dette. Det viste sig der er en fraktur i mit bækken. Som min læge sagde, så kunne jeg håbe på at være smertefri til jul. Jeg satser på det bliver lang tid før den tid.

Samtidig med den brækkede tå, fik jeg rosen. Jeg måtte igennem 3 forskellige penicillin før det forsvandt. 

Til slut vil jeg fortælle jer, at Lars er afsluttet med parkinson medecinen. Der var ikke nogen positiv effekt. Lars har været nedtrykt over dette - men kan man vel ikke andet end forvente, når det man håber, ikke bliver som forventet? Lars' humør er desværre ved at  forandre sig. De fleste dage er han meget tilbagetrukket og i lidt dårlig humør. 

Han er svær at motivere til at deltage i aktiviteter. Derfor var det en sejr en dag, efter at han havde sagt nej, at han forandrede mening, og tog med på en køretur. Jeg skulle ud købe nogle store urtepotter til haven. 

Lars ville ikke ud af bilen, men det var også ok. Bare det han var med, gjorde dagen så meget bedre.

De næste par uger bliver spændende:

Lars skal til både øjenlæge (årstjek pga sukkersyge) og også en tur til ørelæge. Om et par uger skal jeg skal til samme øjenlæge, da jeg ind imellem ser dobbelt.

En ting jeg har lagt mærke til, er glæden ved de "små" ting: at kunne gå ud tidlig morgen og lytte til fuglene vågner. Lige nu er ca klokken 4 om morgenen deres koncert begynder.

Det er løftet om en ny begyndelse. Løftet om håb. Løftet om en kærlighed som varer evigt.

Crafters can give me the cards they make for OSH: Operation Skriv Hjem.

I'll then make sure that they will be delivered to Charlie Johansen, the mastermind behind this GREAT work in Denmark

So far, since March last year  and undtil now - It's a total of 2180 cards 

Thank you ALL for making cards from your heart.

I know I've made some of these before, but these are
