With all the balls in the air, Jerka was looking forward to some summer vacation. But the summer was to be anything but sunny and lovely when he suddenly became very ill.

But it was all about to get worse.
– The round of golf was the last thing I did this summer… and it was on the ninth of June. It later turned out to be pneumonia, which then caused me to go to the emergency room three times and had a subsequent chest infection.
– Have you ever thought that… no, but this is surely something much worse?, asks Wikingsson.
– All the time. I have been to three different doctors who x-rayed me.
– But why have you gone to good people then?, asks Hammar
– I have been in primary care, the emergency room and so on, and I take it for granted that they are competent.
– But how are you healthy now?, asks Hammar.
– I am at 65 percent and have chest pain all the time.
– Damn, I’m seriously saddened by this… then you don’t feel well at all, says Hammar.
– However, I have lost some weight, you are welcome to… comment if you want, Jerka said jokingly.
We hope he has a speedy recovery!
