Yvonne Annekvist work everyday as a preschool teacher at Pilgrimsskolan in Hägersten. On Saturday, January 19 she was on the way from his home into town to buy non-slip shoes.
” I had checked into them with the däcksula.
during the week, then rained, and the rain had frozen and made the roads slippery.
On the walkway between your home in Björkhagen and the t-track, she feels suddenly how she loses their footing on a slippery patch of ice and falls backward. She receives with the right hand to not hit in the head. The pain will direct.
” I know immediately that it is serious, for it makes the terrible pain. The pain is so strong that I get dizzy and I think I shall swoon. I dare not look at the hand for I fear that benpiporna going to stick straight out so I hide it in the jacket.
the call for help for the right hand does not work and the pain is so intense that she can’t undertake something with the left hand either. Two women stop to help Yvonne and she will on a bus.
In the emergency room after waiting, doctor visits and x-rays, the doctor could conclude that the two bones in the wrist were broken, and that Yvonne would need surgery but that it would be waiting time. The queue to the operating time of the orthopaedic surgeons at SÖS was long.
Yvonne got an anaesthetic and a doctor and a nurse pulled the arm and the wrist to the right and covered it with a plaster up to the elbow.
with an elective surgery and a sick leave until the end of march. Well home started the fight.
” It was a terrible pain set in. My fingers swelled up and became completely white.

Life was difficult. Yvonne is right-handed. Dressing, showering, and embed the bed she got to do with the left, and some things she did not. Like to go out.
the first time a month after the accident, she has not yet dared to go out by yourself. The slipperiness on the roads has remained.
” I have not even been able to walk the short distance to toss the trash in order that it has been so slippery. You do not understand how much you value being out until you wind up in the situation that you can not go out. I have thought a lot about my dad during this time. He had a walker and find it difficult to go and in the winter, he was sitting alone at home in the apartment and did not dare to go out because of the slipperiness. Now that I understand how he has had it I have been sorry for his sake, that his last winters were like that.
She felt isolated, ” she says.
– There have been days when I have woken up and just felt: I need to be out but then looked out and seen how the roads looked and changed my mind.
should put all their effort and all their resources to create safe accessibility for the city’s pedestrians.
” My friend told me that she could not get through on the sidewalks. Instead she walked in the bike path because it was went fine but then came a cyclist and plingade angry at her. You think that the riders would have more understanding for us when it is not possible to get around on the sidewalks. The order should also be the opposite. There are so many who are addicted to be able to get around on the sidewalks. The elderly especially need to be able to come out with their walkers and their walks. Like my dad.
On the recreational where she works, they have had to look for a stand-in for Yvonne.
” It takes time and there will be a transition for the kids but it is. My job has been super. I get encouraging text messages from his colleagues and boss, and letters and drawings from the students. It warms the heart and it makes me really happy.
