Tested my golf swing

5 km walk

Tossed the crutches and switch to the ski poles

The last few days it has been snowing in Gothenburg. The nature is lovely with snow on all the trees. What is missing is the pale winter sun, but you can not get everything. Every day it progresses slowly, even if the pace of improvement is not as fastest as before. But what does it

Visit to my District Nurse

Today I visited my district nurse. She squeezed around my knees and found that it did not seem inflamed. As it had soaked through the bandage on my right knee, she removed that bandage to see what the wound itself looked like. The wound looked fine. The cut itself was stapled with lots of staples.

Never more a handball between my legs!

Check out these pictures. I can never, with my feet together, place a handball between my legs anymore! It is quite amazing how straight the legs has been after the surgery. The doctor asked me what the difference is between a carpenter and him? I couldn’t guess. The answer he told me is that a
