Hej!

Okay. It's been 13 weeks since the last post. How long? Well long enough for Blogger to disactivate my connection to my blogs.

Where to begin? Well, simply put this. My MAC's motherboard fried and it took about 8 weeks to get get a new MAC. Then I got busy with other stuff and Facebook and Xmas stuff and getting ready to become a full time student again and ...well you know, nothing much to say really.

So leg is doing well. I can finally walk wothout a crutch and last night I managed to walk down a flight of stairs like a normal human does..just a lot wobbly!

Cheerio for now!

Week semaine 29-30-31-32

Okay it's been a while so this is what happened.

I shatttered my right ankle and I broke 3 bones at the base of my leg and foot.The tibia, fibula and a small part of the talus.

Do not worry I'm doing well despite a severe case of cabin fever and boredom due to the lack of mobility and being forced to keep my leg up.There is a new level in hell and it is called Swedish afternoon tv. (MArried with Children and Fresh Prince anyone?)

It happened on monday almost 5 weeks ago. While walking thru the wooded area near home. I was going doing a rocky incline when I slipped on a pine cone. My body went one way and my ankle went the other."CRACK"

After an hour, I was found by a young boy and his father and was wisked away to a nearby hospital. There I spent two weeks due to complications in swelling and infections. I was operated on( pins and a plate) and released.

I have spent the last few weeks at home, mostly zonked out on the couch and the bed on Oxycotin (EVIL!)and the fact that my left hip got slighty dislocated from the hopping around on one leg of my lithe ballerina-like body mass........

I'm very limited on what I can do. It's only been over the last couple of days I've only been able to sit at the computer for a short while to do emails and chat.

I'm getting a new cast on monday if all healed well (keep your fingers crossed). It will be a sturdier model that will permit me to be more mobile.That will be for a 4-5 week period. Woo hoo I'll be able to walk outside!

After that there will be a period where I will be wearing what the call a soft cast and then 3-6 months of physio........I should be able to be normal within a year.

So that's the big news.

Hoppe all is good your way and ttyl

Week 27-28.....Semaines 27-28

Okay.....

Last week . Saw the Tall Ships in Stockholm harbour. Over 100 sailing ships of various sizes in preparation for a big regatta race. Little yachts to big 3 masters! Mucho cool!

Other than that, Morgan the cat got into another fight and got another infection. Yea. More vet visits. And except for seeing Transformers, I stayed at home, studying my swedish lessons and started on various personnal design projects that I hope will eventually get me work or at least some cash.

This week. Saturday went to Pride Fest for the Parade. Was very cool on a very hot day except the organisers have got to learn about flow, Stop and run does not make a smooth parade.

Sunday we left to join Karen and Scot in Geneva. Much to my surprise, Switzerland has MOUNTAINS (inside joke) when it wasn't hazy from the heat or raining. Had much much fun visiting medieval castles, ancient churches, food festivals and pizza places. Saw a huge water fountain, people with way too expensive cars (Austin Martins, Neon Green Lamboughinis) and cuckoo clocks. Didn't buy any Rolexs or Swiss Army knives but did get me some chocolat.Yum!
--------------------------------
Ouf!

Bon. La semaine derniere. La fin de semaine derniere il y avait la course des Grands Voiliers dans le port de Stockholm. Plus que 100 bateaux a voiles de toutes sortes, de petits a gros voiliers a 3 mats. ce fut tres tres beau a voir.

A part de cela, Morgan le chat a encore été bagarreur et a ainsi eu encore une autre infection. Hourra.Encore une visite au vété. Et a part de voir le film Transformers, j'ai passé le reste du temps a la maison, a etudier mon Suedois et a mettre des projets en place pour trouver du travail ou au moins un peu de cash.

Cette semaine. Samedi on est aller voir la Parade de Fierté Gai a Stockholm. Assez bien mais la journée fut un peu chaude. Avis aux organisateurs, une parade c'est supposée etre fluide. Stop et cours-cours-cours ne fait pas une belle parade.

karen et Scot visitaient Geneve dimanche alors HOP! , on a passé quelques jours en Suisse! Et a la belle surprise, ya des MONTAGNES la bas ( inside joke) quand il y avait pas de la brume de chaleur ou de la pluie. Bien du plaisir a voir des chateaux médievaux, des vielles églises, une fete gourmandes et des places a pizza. Il ya a une fountain d'eau gigantesque, du monde riches a craquer avec des joujoux ridiculement cher ( Une Lambourghuini vert NEON!) et pleins d'horloges qui fait coucou! Malheureusement je n'ai pas acheter de ROLEXs ou de cooteau de l'Armée Suisse mais j'ai du bon chocolat! Miam!
