Update on me

2017-10-01T20:39:19Z

Friday 22 our grocery store, KIWI, closed down.
They sold everything off at 50% off.
Mum and I went and bought some stuff for Pink Saturday.
We managed to get coffee for Pink Saturday, as Thomas (the boss) found the last two packs of good coffee, and donated it to us ♥We bought tea, napkins and soft drinks,
It will open as a SPAR next Saturday, the 7th.
Last Saturday, Mum and I went on the bus and went to Viborg, where Sis, nieces, new BIL and bonus nieces, moved during the summer. Rebecca turned 15 on the 20th, and we we went to celebrate. Rebecca and Benedicte was excited about Pink Saturday, they will come and sell coffee, buns and cakes.
The past we have been so busy, with Pink Saturday. Some of our sellers have pulled out, so I need to find people for 4 people until next Saturday.
I am not sure if this is appropriate; but if any of you want to contribute with money to our cause, you can pay to my PAYPAL at awbjoern@gmail.com and I will send you a “Sarah Bjoern” “Pink Saturday original drawing numbered” – as you know Sarah IS TRULY amazing with her drawings.

DOCTORS APPOINTMENT YESTERDAY –

2017-07-27T19:20:51Z

It went well. Now I have a doctor that listens and take her time.

My cough has dissapeard due to some different medication.

I told Susan about the appointment I`ve gotten at the dermatologist on Nov 7, about it starting in March and it is getting worse and worse.
Susan took one look at the massive inflamed patches on my back and shoulders, and said she would give the dermatologist a call and make him take me in sooner.

She also made an appointment for my yearly mammogram.

I felt it was a great appointment today.

WHY I KNOW THAT FUTURE GENERATIONS WILL SUPPORT GAY RIGHTS

2017-07-05T00:28:16Z

WATCHING DOWNTON ABBEY SEASON III episode 8/10 WITH MUM AND THEA

Where Thomas could be fired or jailed because of kissing Jimmy.
Thea (10 y.o) is watching it with Mum and me this Tuesday.

I try to explain the situations in the episodes for her, as she has never watched it before;

Like; Why Ms. O`Brien is being mean to Thomas
Why Mr. Carson don`t like Mrs. Hughes knowing what Thomas “is”
What Thomas tells Mr. Bates so he knows about MS O`Brien and can blackmail her.
Why Thomas get to stay, and why Jimmy take back the mean things he had said about Thomas.

Then we get to the end of the episode; Thomas and Tom helped Downton win the Cricket Match, Thomas was named Under Butler and Jimmy First Footman...

Then Thea look at Mum and me and says:

“Was that dirty and mean MS. O`Brian ready to ruin Thomas` life, just because Thomas is a boy and he kissed Jimmy that also is a boy? She is the most HORRIBLE woman! I am SO happy that Thomas was not fired!!

Therefore, fear not; the next generation will support Gay Rights ;)

THE 51´ST ENGAGEMENT AT”FLAMMEN” AND THEAS VISIT MONDAY/THUESDAY

2017-07-05T00:21:36Z

On Sunday, Mum and I went to the Restaurant FLAMMEN (The Flame) for dinner at six.
Without Mum knowing, I had invited Sarah too.
She was waiting for us as we arrived and Mum was on cloud nine. She was so happy to have Sarah there.
We had a great meal – lots of meats, different potatoes, breads and a wonderful salad bar.

Mum was pleased with her gift card for the knitting book of Superheroes that I had made out from Sarah, Thea and myself.

Mum told many stories including her and Dad, and Sarah enjoyed them.

Sarah got some tricks from Mum, how to woe a boy and such ;)

After dinner, we caught a bus and BRO picked Sarah up at Hellevangen.
It was a great evening.

Monday Thea came to stay with Mum...

We spoke on the phone and for Tuesday, I was to bring the remedies for chopped steak, potatoes, béarnaise sauce, different onions and dressings for dinner.

We all had a great afternoon/evening.

MUM AND DAD`S 51 ENGAGEMENT DAY ON SUNDAY

2017-06-29T17:03:30Z

We have always celebrated their engagement day as well as their wedding day, and that has not stopped because my Dad passed away 7 years ago.
On Sunday, I have invited Mum for dinner at a stake restaurant named FLAMMEN (The Flame)

We went on my birthday too.

As a surprise for Mum, I have invited Sarah too; I know Mum will love to spend time with here there.

I also have ordered a knitting book, about knitting Superheroes from us ;)

COFFEE WITH METTE AND SOREN,,,

2017-06-22T18:12:53Z

About two weeks ago Mum and I spend 5 hours cleaning out stuff at my apartment.

8 big black sacks to throw out, some to keep here, and a lot of toys, bags, cloths and other stuff to donate to Mette and Soren – the two wonderful persons that deliver vegetables and fruit to us once a week.

Sunday 11th, we went for coffee at their home. Soren picked us up at two, along with the bags we had for them.
We spend 3 great hours at their house, getting to know each other better.

Mette donated six crocheted hats for us to sell on “Pink Saturday”. She also volunteered to help us clean up after “Pink Saturday”.

They have five children, but we have only met the two youngest, Praise 20 years old and Samuel, 17 years old. They are the sweetest kids so compassionate and kind.

Before we left Mette prayed for Mum and me. It really got to me. I am a Christian, been baptized and confirmated, going to Church occasionally, but never been overly religious. However, when someone actually touch me and pray for Mum and me it get to me.

They had had an article in one of the popular weekly magasins.

Today Mette called and said they had two boxes of vegetables and fruit for us. It turned out there were also chips, sodas and flowers.

They left with two bags of everyday household articles that Mum and I had bought for them to give away.

MUMS DOCTOR APPOINTMENT..

2017-06-22T17:27:05Z

For a week or so, Mum had pain in her left leg.

It looked like her blood veins were swollen in places.

She went to the doctor, and he told her, that she have had some small blood clots in her leg.

It haven´t done any damage, and the doctor said it would disappear.

So nothing to worry about.

THEAS BIRTHDAY PARTY…

2017-05-30T15:04:12Z

My niece Thea turned 10 on May 22.
Mum and I was invited to her b-day party last Saturday.

Thea got some money and some Harry Potter collectables as a gift from us.

That same day, her football- soccer – team was playing. They had made it all the way to the medal round, and she had to leave at one point to play for Gold and Silver.

Sarah, Mum and I stayed back and had a great time; just talking with Sarah without interference was amazing.

Thea came back with a Silver medal (and her team had won another silver medal the past Saturday)

Therefore, we celebrated and had a good time.

FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT DOES`T KNOW...

2017-05-24T17:21:53Z

I lost my little degu, Stiles, last week......

A TRIP TO THE DOCTOR TODAY –

2017-05-24T17:20:17Z

Had an appointment today with Doc Susan.

What happened;

The blood pressure readings I`ve done three days last week was fine.
My bloodwork and urine was perfect.

My cholesterol is a little high – it is genetic, so I will change my diet for three months.
Then new blood tests and if that doesn`t work out we will have a talk to see if I need medication.

As for the coughing – x-rays and blood work was fine.

Susan went over my medication, as she wrote out new prescriptions, and found that my blood reassure medication can cause coughing.
She changed it, and I have to report in a couple of months. If I still cough then, I will go to the lung medication unit for tests.

I also got some liquid crème for the sores I have on my scalp, as the one I have for my neck, back and face, doesn`t apply to hair.

I got almost 30 minutes, and both Mum and I were more than happy when we left.

MY X-RAYS CAME BACK…

2017-05-03T16:20:19Z

They were fine, no problems or cancer in my heart or lungs.

So now there will be a string of tests, bloodtests and so on, to find out why I cough as I do.

Have an appointment with Susan on the 24 of May, so there it begings ;)

WHAT A REVELATION

2017-04-18T17:16:13Z

I had a doctor`s appointment today, and it was the best I`ve had in a LONG time.

Susan, the doctor – a few years older than me, and had worked together with my old doctor – she listened to me, and came up with solutions for my problems.

I had four things I wanted to talk about today:
1 My cough that I have had for 28 months
2 The sores on my arms, neck and on my scalp
3 Pain in my foot
4 Pain relieve

1 I will get an x-ray with-in the next two weeks, to see if anything is wrong (cancer or something else) in my lungs.

2 I got some cream to rub on and an appointment with a skin-specialist.

3 For now, down to nerve pain, but if gets worse, she will look into it.

4 I told her about my problems with getting penicillin last time I had erysipelas infection. I got an prescription for 100 tablets that I could pick up today, so I had the medication next time I get the infection. We talked about medical cannabis as cancer pain relieve too – the doctors there is not against it, but Susan said they didn`t know much about it, but they will learn and I can ask about it later.

I was so happy and relieved when I said goodbye. When I went to the apothecary, I could get all the meds without any problems.

Now my problems are being heard and taken care of, and I am so relieved. When I have some of this worked out, I`ll get another appointment, and talk out some of the other problems..

UPDATE ON THIS WEEK….

2017-04-04T20:42:29Z

My foot is doing fine by now, but it has also being two weeks…

Tomorrow Mum and I have plans for going shopping for a new printer for Mum in “Føtex” a big supermarket in town. “Føtex” also have Chicken Wednesday – you can get an entire fried chicken for $4.50 and they are great.

Thursday is being difficult – It is the six of April and by that Mum and Dads wedding day. They would have been married for 49 years.
At the same day, Mum and I will have to attend a funeral. Mums sweet neighbor Bent, 90 years old died last week. He was a really sweet, kind and out going person.
He had a dog, Zita that was 12 years old. A week and a half the dog broke her hind leg, and had to be put down. Then not more than a week later, Bent dies from a broken arteria. I am sure it is down to grief and sadness.
Bents funeral is on Thursday at noon.
Therefore, Mum and I will attend that, and then go to the cemetery for Dad, and then home to Mum for me giving her, the wedding present I have for her.

Friday will probably be quiet.
On Saturday, my birthday, I´ve invited Mum out for dinner at a place named “Flammen” (The Flame) it has 3 different appetizers, then a variety of different meats and side dishes buffet all you can eat.

Sarah and Lucas have been there a couple of times and Sarah loves it, so I decided to take Mum there on my Birthday.

I will be 48…
I feel so old due to all the side effects from my breast cancer almost 10 years ago.

Then again I feel so young when I read your books, get excited when I get new Harry Potter or SPN jewellery, having fun with Mum, watching SPN and fangirling with Mum over Sam and Dean. Being the baby at the Knitting club, and having friends here, older and younger that care and share and to care and share with♥

PAY IT FORWARD MEME

2017-04-02T19:28:42Z

I stole this :)

The first 4 people to comment (and more if I can manage it) will receive a surprise from me at some point in 2017 — anything from a book, a ticket, something home-grown or made, a postcard, absolutely any surprise! It will happen when the mood comes over me and I find something that I believe would suit you and make you happy.

(So leave me an email address, a physical mailing address, I will probably have your address so no need to) and if you desire, a little idea of things you do/don't like.

If you can, post this in your own journal and pay it forward. Let's do more kind and loving things for each other in 2017, without any reason other than to make each other smile and show that we think of each other.

THE PAST FEW DAYS

2017-03-30T15:57:13Z

Wednesday
OH, the joy of being disabled and getting disability pay …

April is going to be sooo bad – and it is even my birth month
My pension in Danish kr in April – 13.225 kr
Bills that HAS to be paid in April – 12.637 kr
Money left to live on in April – 588 kr
Yeah – I might just get a tent and camp out on the grass outside my flat

Wednesday

Wednesday evening I split a kitchen cabinet door in two – with my head!

Thursday

Oh the joy of getting disability pay
I know that I complained about my money status in April that will leave me with 588 kr due to lots of bills. It is still true.
HOWEVER - I also discovered that I would have 5169 kr back in Taxes on April 12.
I can buy Mum a present for her Wedding day on April 6, - even if Dad passed away in 2010.
This year they would have been married for 49 years.
I´ve asked Mum for dinner in a fancy restaurant for my birthday on April 8 and I can pay for that too.
Therefore, everything will be good....

WITH THE LEVEL OF PAIN I REACHED MONDAY

2017-03-22T18:56:36Z

- my entire nerve system damage from Chemo and radiation, had decided to get together and have a party in my left foot.
I don`t remember pain ever hurting than this - I know I repress pain from before, but right now the pain is so bad, that I actually starts to understand, why some people will selfharm, just to find a pain that they can control........

Today I felt a bit better and did a little housework. It was fine.
Then I stumpled over a washcloth on the floor, - hitting it with my left foot - and it hurt so much that I just wanted to scream...

Stumpling over a washcloth and make pain worse - only I can do that, right ??

TODAY IS....

2017-03-14T18:56:49Z

MY SWEET NIECE SARARH´S 17 BIRTHDAY.

I POSTED THIS ON HER FACEBOOK PAGE ;)

IS THIS A GOOD THING OR ARE WE JUST SHOOTING FISH IN A BARRELL ??

2017-03-11T17:51:02Z

The nice Church people Søren and Mette came by with two boxes with vegetables and fruit for Mum and me.
They are some of the kindest people I have ever met. They spend six days of the week, to drive around to supermarkets and gaining the produce that will other way be thrown in the trash.
They give out around 50kg of food in different churches one every day, and take their time to bring Mum and I free food too.
I always give them a little money for gas, as they do not get an income for all their free work.
Today I spoke with them - after consulting Mum – about getting some of all the clothes, shoes, toys and bags that we get from people, that know we collect things to Bosnia. We get a lot that doesn`t fit our families, but instead of just giving it to some charity that will sell it, it will go to people that will really need it free. They were more than pleased. Therefore, I promised to sort out some stuff from the basements next week, so we can start it.

DID YOU MISS ME? I THOUGHT NOT…

2017-02-28T19:50:02Z

Sorry for not being around the past weeks, life has been weird here.
Two weeks ago my aunt, that was married to my uncle, Dads younger brother that died from cancer in 2005, died from lung cancer.
Mum and I have hardy spoken to her, since my Grandmother, Dads mum, died five years ago.
Mum, my sister and I went for the funeral.

Last week it was winter holiday for the school kids, and Benedicte came to spend two days with Mum.
The three of us was spending two days, visiting books-stores.
Benedicte love books and to read, but she never get time to visit bookstores, when she is out with friends.
But Mum and I love books more than everything, so we showed her the most amazing bookstores here in Aalborg.
I bought nine books for myself and two Harry Potter books for Benedicte ;)

The past week, Mum and I have been sick. From the flu (both of us) to me getting more Cancer side effects that I have not having before... However, you can get new side effects even after 6-8 years later. In addition, with my luck I would get it, wouldn`t I... Therefore, I have three new side effects to out on my - long – list of chronical side effects. Go me...
