Remember The Balrog

Sorry for the continuing absence! Mom was back at the hospital. She's home now, but she has to return to hospital in January - she's going to need an artificial bladder - her bladderhas proliferated, blocking the right kidney. Right now, she has a catheter (in her kidney), at least she's in no pain,...

Me, too.

We have elections here tomorrow, too (just local, for our federal state). But the far right parties are on their way up again and raising their ugly heads.

I hear they arrested a person regarding the mailbombs?

I so hope you're right!

From what I hear, there are a lot of people who vote absentee or early. But there are also numerous reports about vote frauds, or voter suppression. And of course there's also the bombs. Trump is actually blaming the media for the bombs. He's really living in his own world. I'm not sure whether he a...

There is so much wrong going on right now. Here, in our country as well.

Lena and I have started our weekly swimming, and I get the impression that she likes it. I enjoy it as well. Mom has been checked by the Medical Review Boards because we thought it might be a good idea to get her into care. She now has been graded into care level 1 (not much, but it's a start). At f...

So much for "be back tomorrow".. Thank you so much for your card. Lene happened to be here when it arrived, so I was able to show it to her, and she did like it. She's coping well, as far as we can tell. Mom, my sister and the girls are leaving for a short-term holiday at the Black Forst o...

Love this!

Lethal White by Robert Galbraith, aka JK Rowling. I like her Strike series. Getting better book by book.

I just do hope this is true!

Hello again! First of all, thank you for the lovely cards. Mom enjoyed the birthday card. Anything computer related is a miracle to her. The surgery went well. Thank god, the tumor was benign. She had to stay at the hospital for a week, and when she was released, she could hardy wait to get back int...

I'm glad about the leftovers, because mom is at the hospital now. We knew beforehand that she had to go, so we were prepared. She has a bladder tumo that had to be removed, and we're still waiting for the results. We hope to have them by Tuesday. The surgery was on Wednesday, and she is doing surpri...

We did get to see bits and pieces of it, and I'm sure she's celebrating up above. I think she would have approved. It was a worthy celebration.

Mom says Thank You for the lovely birthday card. It was her first e-card, and - as she puts it - everything computer-related is a miracle to her. She loved watching it! I only got to show it to her today. Guests have been dropping in and out since Wednesday. We're not done yet :lol: However, everyth...

Preparations are going fine. Larissa and her boyfriend Dominic have been helping a lot already. Mom wants all the cupboards and closets in the living room cleaned before her great b-day :paperbag: and they've been helping her carrying the glass and the porcelain dishes (they're all from grandma) and...
