Ruka 3 years in a row🇫🇮

2024: Only knuckles but still fun🤗 (10 months post op)
2025: No riding🥲 (8 months post 2nd op)
Det här är Erik och Märit, min farmor och farfar.
Farfar har levt med parkinsons sjukdom i över 15 år. Det är en kronisk neurologisk sjukdom där nervceller i hjärnan som producerar dopamin bryts ner. Det leder främst till motoriska svårigheter, men påverkar också energi, balans och tal.
Trots det har jag haft turen att få leka med honom, skratta med honom och ha honom närvarande under hela min uppväxt.
Det är inte alla som får den möjligheten. Parkinson ser olika ut för alla och för många tar sjukdomen mycket mer, mycket tidigare.
Farmor berättar att dom alltid brukade åka på arrangemang den 11 april, på internationella parkinsondagen. Men det var när farfar var piggare.
Idag kan farfar inte alltid bo hemma. Och idag känns det viktigt att dela denna påminnelse. Sprid kunskap och stöd forskningen om du kan, för att fler ska få behålla sina nära så länge som möjligt.🧡

Reunited with my crutches…
Turns out my meniscus was damaged and needed some stitches, so I got that fixed yesterday. Pretty bummed that I have spent the whole season in pain which has limited my riding. And now I have to sit out on the best part of the year as well… slush season. Great timing🥲
On the bright side though, we finally found the problem. And at this point I’m basically a regular in the OR. Third surgery’s the charm, right?
Before heading into surgery, I managed to sneak in some quality time with the family. Not the worst way to take a last run😇
See you in the slope next season (hopefully with a less dramatic knee)!✌️
All the love to @standtallshop@eivy@oakleysnowboarding@vallakokerskan@nitro_sweden@rdtattoofilip for your continued support through all my injuries, it truly means everything to me🫶
And thank you @snowboardteamsweden and @snowboardgymnasiet for surrounding me with such amazing people. Forever thankful❣️
734 days and two surgeries later⭐️
It’s weird how I’ve been so scared and still longed for this day. I’ve missed it all so much, the snow, the strapping in, taking the T-bar, the cold hands and of course cruising down the slope. I can’t lie and say that I’m confident on the board, because I’m terrified. But it still feels right. And I’m so looking forward to every turn I’ll take this season💫
Not much snowboarding in my 2025 recap, but countless memories with loved ones💖
In 2025 I went through ACL surgery once again and worked hard with rehab so I can return in 2026 and wholeheartedly do what I love most. I still haven’t fully accepted that 2 years have passed since I first injured my knee and I wish that time hadn’t gone by with me snowboarding this little. But this year I’ll be back on my board with many lessons learned and a stronger mindset🌨️
Forever grateful for the continued support @standtallshop@oakleysnowboarding@eivy@nitro_sweden@vallakokerskan@rdtattoofilip 🤍
