The blog post I wrote in Swedish the night before my surgery Is now available in English as well. I added an addendum, to make note of how overly excited I was to 'change things' before surgery, and how exhausted I am now.
A large part of it is an hommage to Lillian Gilbreth. đ

@LeoR1010 Jag blev inte besviken. đ
@urig Just noticed your header picture. I had a Dragon 32 as my second computer after my Sinclair ZX81. đ
Slow Horses season 4 just dropped. đ
Looking for a way to watch V - the original miniseries and/or V: The Final Battle. Any suggestions/ideas are welcome đ
Update: Found part 1 on the Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/v.-the.-original.-miniseries.-1983.x-264.aac.-part.-1
My Ghost theme automatically displays estimated reading time. Something about it never sat right with me. This was a clear-cut perspective. I'll set aside time to remove it. https://toot.cafe/@matt/113060934547786252

Your regular reminder of how the Internet is far from readily accessible to everyone.

Since newspapers have become computerised, weâve welcomed spell checkers , grammar checkers, and now AI assistants, I only see more and more spelling mistakes in the news, i.e. multiple times every frickinâ day. I canât believe how efficient everything has apparently become. đ
More is better they tell me.
@dkmj Ja fan det mĂ„ste vara Waran:et som spökar. Ărligt talat vore det ju galet roligt om man kunde hitta lite fler udda biverkningar att lista i bipacksedlarna. đ
- 5 av 100 vill se en Björn Skifs-film 2-3 gÄnger om Äret
- 7 av 100 startar en tankesmedja
- 9 av 100 blir beroende av Lakrisal
- 15 av 100 vill fabulera statistik 2-3 gÄnger per dag
Tack. đ
@LeoR1010 Verkligen! đ
@ambivalena Ja jag har hyfsad koll, och samtidigt svĂ„rt att följa samma program pĂ„ papper dag ut och dag in. Behöver variation. Man lĂ€r sig snabbt att avbryta, hoppa över, nĂ€r nĂ„gon övning gör ont. đ
Tack!
@LeoR1010 Bra tÀnkt! Det tror jag inte var med i filmerna jag hittade, men vi hade en engelsman som ledde ett pass pÄ sittgympan pÄ rehabcentret och han var störtskön med sitt sittdansande mellan övningarna. Bara slÀpp loss till musiken sÄ blir det jÀttebra, typ.
Den tar jag med mig!
@ambivalena Ja det gick fort. Kom hem idag. BÄde skönt och lÀskigt som du skriver. Har ju varit med pÄ sittgympan pÄ rehabcentret, gjort trapptrÀning och gÄtt promenader utomhus. Det Àr verkligen högt tempo och fokus pÄ att trÀna, inte vila, sig i form.
FrÄn att jag förra tisdagen inte kunde gÄ alls, till idag, Àr hÀpnadsvÀckande och mer framsteg Àn jag sjÀlv hade trott skulle gÄ.
VĂ€ldigt mycket piller blir det fortfarande. DĂ€r Ă€r Apples hĂ€lsa-app till stor hjĂ€lp för mig för att hĂ„lla koll pĂ„ alla lĂ€kemedel. Waranen ska dosen Ă€ndras pĂ„ cirka tvĂ„ gĂ„nger i veckan baserat pĂ„ blodprov sĂ„ hĂ€r i början ocksÄ⊠đ
Men jag kommer fÄ kallelse till ordnad grupptrÀning med andra hjÀrtsjuka ocksÄ, men det blir först om cirka fyra-fem veckor vad jag förstÄtt.
Imorrn blir det att sĂ€tta igĂ„ng pĂ„ riktigt med rehab-trĂ€ning pĂ„ hemmaplan. Har hittat ett par sittgympa-filmer jag ska prova. Tveka inte att tipsa mig om tĂ€nkbara pass/aktiviteter ni snubblat över i andra sammanhang. Vill göra det hĂ€r till nĂ„got roligt. Promenader Ă€r inga problem Ă€ven om det gĂ„r lite lĂ„ngsamt. Hoppa studsmatta Ă€r vĂ€l kanske minst lĂ€mpligt. đ
English: Tomorrow Iâll start up my rehab training at home for real. Found a couple of sitting exercise videos I'm going to try. Do not hesitate to suggest other possible sessions/activities you may have stumbled upon. I want to make this into something fun. Walking is no problem even if Iâm a bit slow. Trampoline jumping is probably the least suitable. đ

@daniel Ja den hĂ„ller fortfarande. SĂ„g precis klart. đ
Fick ett galet sug efter att kolla pÄ den gamla filmen Strul med Björn Skifs. Vilken udda kÀnsla. Har inte tÀnkt pÄ den pÄ mÄnga Är.
@cgruenloh Oh I didn't know about that campaign. What a brilliant initiative, and what a heartbreaking story!
We definitely need more campaigns like this all over.
@impactology @stephenpa Love this thread Raghav. âïž
Something Iâve noticed about catching peopleâs names now that Iâve met dozens upon dozens of new people during my hospital stay:
In Swedish itâs just as common to say âPer heter jagâ as it is to say âJag heter Perâ. Both of those mean âMy name is Perâ. Itâs of course possible to say âPer is my nameâ in English but I donât pick up on that order of words as often as I do in Swedish.
When people enter your room and immediately say âPer is my name, hello, how are you, itâs time for your medsâ thereâs a TON of information in there. My chances of remembering the name of a new person is next to zero, unless they have the same name as me or one of my family members. And the meds part really brings focus away from the person Iâm meeting for the first time.
Making sure to lead with how you are about to say your name: âHello, my name is Perâ, pausing for my response and then continuing with âI am here toâŠâ gives me a sporting chance.
When people say âMy name isâ my alertness immediately rises as I make an effort to remember their name, because I know itâs coming. When said in the reverse itâs much too late. My alertness wasnât there.
For some reason people also tend to mumble more at the beginning of a sentence (my experience during this week), even when itâs the most important part.

@ambivalena Yeah, it's like I'm a child again, wanting to impress everyone around me with everything I'm able to do.
