It is hard to believe...

... that Mum has been home for six days already! We've built up some sort of routine and have managed so far; I hope and pray that it stays that way.

Tomorrow, the physiotherapist lady comes again; I'll have to make notes to remember the exercises better. And on Saturday we'll have to go back to the hospital, for control and for the removing of stitches. I've already ordered the transport - it is not cheap, for certain, but they'll arrive on time, take her (and me; I'll be allowed to ride the ambulance with her) to the hospital, wait for her and bring her back home. That's worth all the money we'll have to pay.

So yeah, things improve as much as they can, given the circumstances. Still, it shocked me a bit when I looked into the mirror today and realized that I've turned grey in these two weeks. I barely had a few silver hairs in the mousey brown that's my natural colour: now the entire top of my head is interwoven with white. Hmmm... I guess I must have some Dwarven blood, after all.

It's good that you can get reliable transportation, even if it's costly. Hopefully this will be the only trip you have to make.

Thumbs up, you´re doing great! If it makes you feel better: I had my first white hair when I was sixteen. Now I am white-haired, and it does not bother me.

It doesn't really bother me, either. It's just... unexpected.

Amen to that!

I'm glad stuff is going okay. Well, apart from the gray hair, of cousre..

Oh, greying isn't really a problem. Just surprising. I was so used to having very few grey hairs.

That's great you have at least reliable transport.
Also good to hear you've established a routine.

Until something throws it over...

Wow, that was fast.

And unexpected... I always thought such things only happen in stupid, sentimental romance novels. I guess I'm a stupid, sentimental old hag then.

Now now.

Ah yes...the advance of the grey. I used to cover them with blond highlights, then realised there were more highlights than not. A couple of years ago I had to acknowledge that my face has reached the stage where no amount of highlights will make me look younger, so why waste my money?

The greying itself doesn't bother me one bit. It just came as a shock that it happened so quickly and unexpectedly.

I'm just catching up going in reverse. Stitches?? I'll read further on.

Even though costly, it is nice to have the transport. So much easier on both you and your Mum. I believe stress speeds up the grey, I always noticed more during my son's teenage years, heheh.
