I had a wonderful day yesterday. My mother in law, Åsa, picked me up and took me to the hospital to have my drain flushed. No biggie. Then we went back to her house (after picking up the cat-she deserves Christmas too!). In Sweden, Christmas is celebrated on the 24th. So we started to prepare the house for the feast. Hans had to work, he was scheduled since June when we thought everything was fine and I would be back in SC for the holidays. So poor Hans was working and he had prosecuting authority for 7 juristictions in Sweden. So basically, he was working alone and the only prosecutor on duty for about half of Sweden. It kept him busy.
When he came home we had a traditional Swedish smorgasbord. WE all ate too much and had to sit on the couch for a couple of hours. Christmas came to catland and Sessan had a christmas dinner of tuna-spoilt little thing. Hans and I went to Midnight Mass at the Lutheran Cathedral in Kalmar. Not very Lutheran-there was incense! It was nice and the music was great. I just wish I understood more-another reason to learn Swedish quicker.
Today, we are heading back to his moms to eat the leftovers. We will also be visiting Hans dad's grave for a bit. But first, Hans had to go back to the hospital today to visit his poor uncle who has been there for a couple of days. When it rains it poors! I hope he is out soon.
We are doing our best to take it easy and enjoy each other. I had the most fantastic night sleeping-so if my sister is reading this HA! I slept for almost 10 hours. That sure beats the 5 that I had been getting. I am in no pain, my color is still good, and my appetite is ferocious! All good signs so I am still praying for no cancer and the Christmas miracle.
