Martha Czermak fights back after a tumor operation - to the delight of Emmering.
A home visit for the 90th birthday.
Emmering
– Martha Czermak is not walking well at the moment, but she still has everyone under control.
Putting away her crutches and walkers, she shoos her nephew through the kitchen.
No cake plate, no coffee cup, no champagne glass remains empty, resistance of the guests is futile.
"As long as Mei is doing so well..!" she jokes and laughs.
Her eyes sparkle under her purple-toned hair, and the enthusiasm for the celebration of her 90th birthday bubbles out of Emmeringer.
They celebrated for four days.
Relatives, neighbors, friends and associations are always there, such as the warriors, for whom Czermak has been the mother of the flag since 1982, and the traditional costume association.
Paralyzed from one day to the next: A back tumor slows down the industrious
It is not a matter of course that they all sit together in the Kuchl.
A good year ago, Martha Czermak suddenly couldn't get out of bed one morning.
You, who a few days earlier had grazed the pavement of the driveway by hand.
“I was paralyzed from one day to the next,” she says.
The coffee in the cup in front of her cools forgotten.
Again and again she jumps up because the doorbell announces well-wishers again.
"Scratched past the cross section," continues the 90-year-old, who is fighting her way back bit by bit.
It was a back tumor, the operation was successful.
And so the guests listen to entertaining anecdotes of a colorful life.
Melancholic ones, like the memories of her sister Marianne, who died a year ago and was eight years her junior, and whom she looked after almost like a mother when she was a child.
The story of the wrong BMW
And funny ones, like once when her husband Walter Czermak, longtime author for the Ebersberger Zeitung and who died in 2013, made her wait for what felt like an eternity in the snow flurry on the market square of the district town.
When the silver-colored BMW finally stopped at the traffic light, she yanked open the door with the anger of the righteous, dropped into the passenger seat and, without looking, snapped at the driver: "Now drive!" Turned out: she was sitting in the wrong car.
What remained was a stunned complete stranger in his BMW and a legendary anecdote for the EZ column "Wastl, die Wappensau".
“The best man in the world!” the widow adds, just so there is no misunderstanding.
The two were married for 60 years.
Unforgotten in the EZ editorial team: Martha Czermak's legendary Christmas cookies.
This time, others did the baking.
Martha Czermak, in recovery, takes over the enjoyment.
