3 years ago today I took one of the most difficult steps in my life. One of many I realise now. For those of you who don't know, today marks the 3 year day of my move to Sweden, or back to Sweden. Having lived in the UK for 11 years and always saying how…
Merry Christmas Eve :)
Merry Christmas everyone! It's Christmas Eve, the day we celebrate Christmas. No matter what country we live in or how long we have lived there we have always and will always celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve. This morning I got up and made our (family) traditional pancake breakfast. Now to get a few bits and…
Mini Christmas and physio

I met the nicest physiotherapist ever yesterday. She was really good, listened to everything I had to say and did a proper check up. I told her about my bad back, the pains and problems (as well as needing to re build core muscles). Well it turns out my left thigh (it looked like it…
Nervouuuus!
This morning I got up with Axel and laid on the sofa enjoying the way our Christmas decorations brought some lovely comforting light to the dark winter morning. My day ahead looked very calm and peaceful, just relaxing all day (which is needed) and a lovely trip to have lunch at work. I've been looking…
Calls and plenty of pictures
Had the joys once again of waking up and chatting to a good friend this morning. I am so grateful for the internet and video calls, it makes it so much easier being away from friends. I can't wait to go back home (England home) and see them again. It's tough being away from them…
Crazy dragon, psycho mood secrets
So here it comes. My embarrassing confession. The other me. The other side of things. The truth of last weekend. Last weekend I was a mess. I had an agonising toothache, I was exhausted, I was uncomfortable, and I was cutting out the morphine. In other words, I was an emotional, unstable, hurricane of a…
Lazy Sunday, windy and another first
Last night after a lot of tooing and throwing I got myself together and went to a friends moving in party. I luckily found a shirt, that my sister bought me, that was long enough to cover any bulges made by my catheter and managed to feel pretty normal. I painted on a face and…
Blue sky, sun and pamper – it’s saturday!
Hello world! Today I woke up with the sun shining in on me, and a beautiful blue sky! Wow how life feels easier when the sun is out! Managed the night without morphine and slept right through which was amazing! Decided to treat myself while Axel was out and have had a pamper morning -…
Tired, pain, company and silly cat
Last night was difficult. My belly was sore and I had a horrible toothache which resulted in me taking a morphine tablet - i have been without for a full day (24 hours) - and they helped me sleep. This morning I took a long lasting tablett to counteract any pains while I'm tired and…
Drugs, hot chocolate and mum
Had a couple of tired days now, so it's been nice just laying on the sofa relaxing, reading my book, doing some sudoku, and talking to mum and Axel when he's been here. I've finally taken my last cortisone tablet after being on it for 6 weeks. I am very happy to be off them…
