[xwuk] for "sjuk"? That's not standard Swedish at any rate. I say something like [x\}:k] (ugly SAMPA!). Note that the PHONEME /S/ is REALIZED as [x\] by most speakers, tho' you can even hear [S], [s`] and even [C] in various dialects. Personally I have an [x\] that's very close to [x]. Växjö is something like [vEk"x\2:] in my variety.
