This week (week 10) is normally my absolutely worst week at work. Then the conference with approximately 250 people attending/working is taking place and my job is to prepare, organize and run everything with the help of some of my students and fellow teachers. This is the week of year when sickness or abscence are words you do not find in the vocabulary.
What happens? Well, after a nice weekend with nice people coming to see the puppies (they are gorgeous!!) Monday was the first day of week. I came home a quarter before midnight, fell into deep sleep before I landed in my bed and then woke up with a shoulder that was not in order. Something had happened during the night, the left shoulder was aching like a very hot place were it is said nasty people will come to after death. Two pain killers saved the day and the conference started with opening ceremony, etc. But I finished my part of it early evening and went home to get some sleep and more pain killers.
I woke up in the middle of the night. The pain was totally out of control. ?? . Found some real hard pain killers in the medicine box, took them and almost fell asleep again.
Six o'clock, time to get up! But no, the pain was so hard that I fainted when I tried to go to the bathroom. What to do? I can't stay at home these days! Lying on a bed I tried to figure out what to do. Pain killers were not enough, but what the hell had happened in my shoulder?! My Peter refused to drive me to school, just asking "and what do you think YOU are going to do there today? You can't even sit up" . He had got a point in that... Well, to make a long (full day) story short it ended up in the hospital with X-ray and a nice orthopedist.
At the show in Stockholm in December I fell with Love in the ring. Is there anybody who does not remember that? And I admitted it hurt, yes I did. Well, my shoulder was broken and the muscels around was torn apart. Lucky I didn't know that in Stockholm, then the pains would have been even worse at that time. The X-ray showed that I had had a fracture which was OK now, the muscels had not recovered. The nice doctor couldn't explain why I got so much pain now but probably it had something to do with this fracture.
She put a local anasthetic in the shoulder to give some relieve (didn't help...) and gave me three different pain killers to take.
Instead of running a conference with 250 people involved I have been spending the last days in bed, mostly sleeping. The best of all is that the conference has been running smoothly without me. That means that the preparations and planning was good and that other people at school could solve the problems that occurred with the help of a phone call to me. No-one is impossible to replace!
The worst is that my shoulder still aches.
My family has forbidden me to show dogs in Malmö due to this. Well, I am actually not jumping around for the moment. So now we are on plan B, someone else is going to show Love. This "someone" is now being educated how to show a (wild) White Swiss Shepherd. "Someone" will come here tomorrow to practise with Cariña and Arwen and then with Love the coming week.This will be very interesting!
Perhaps I will be able to show Betty myself, don't tell my family about that plan... Anyway, we will be five people for four dogs so the dogs will be shown!
As soon as I will be able to use my left arm/hand a little bit more I will take new pics of the puppies! Time for medicine...
Det här skulle ha handlat om valpar, valpbus, valpköpare, Svensk Vinnare 09 men det får vara. Inte idag. Idag är Rickards, Tinas och Elins dag. Och jag har blivit FARMOR!
