We had our 8th wedding anniversary the other day. We celebrated a little the day before and went to the movies to see The King's Speech, which I thought was excellent. From there we stopped by in restaurant Heinätori to have dinner. I had mushroom soup for starter and fried liver as the main course and I guess you can call that a quite traditional Finnish meal. We were home by seven as I was fighting to stay awake (because of the insomnia problem) and as the swelling in my legs was a little uncomfortable. On our actual wedding day we made yet another trip to the movies and a restaurant but this time with the kids. We saw Yogi Bear and had pizza and pasta in a nearby restaurant.
I'm scheduled for my first radiation treatment on Monday (March 7th). I really hope it will prevent the swelling from getting worse as I currently feel a bit handicapped. I've been able to move around and make some short trips downtown but when I get home I've got to lie down and keep my legs high up which is the only way to get the swelling down.
Falling asleep at night is still a big problem and I'm not sure what to do about that. I sleep way too little and it has messed up many of the days this week as I've felt totally dead during the daytime. I have a doctor's appointment on Tuesday (March 8th) and will discuss the possibility of seeing a sleep specialist.

It is always nice to read about what's going on with you and the gang :) even though it is not always stories that we hope and pray for. But it is none the less what's happening with you guys :)
Prinna and I just celebrated our 9 years anniversary a couple weeks ago at Romano's Macaroni Grill. I went to the link of the restaurant that you guys went, very cute !!!! I will show it to my wife :) I bet she would LOVE to be sitting there too! :)
I am so sorry to hear of all the troubles you have gone through on top of the fight with the insomnia and ache and pain :( you are right, when it rains, it pours ...
Hang in there ... Jan Arne! I know that it must have sounded like a broken record by now, but you guys are all in our prayer ... and I know that it is really hard to keep faith when things don't seem to improve the way we wanted them too. But we will not stop praying for you because we love you too much and we know that God loves you too.
Please send our love to Marjo, Espen, and Tomas ...
We love you all and we miss you all !!!
Thanks again Jack for keeping us in your thoughts :)
