David's Turn

Recently, one of us has been to the hospital, doctors or dentist every month. Since the beginning of the year, someone has been sick enough to need medical help.

Of course, my medical needs are ongoing. Every three months, I need to be tested for cancer, diabetes and high blood pressure. Hannah has to go every month to get her medicine to control epilepsy. The lads are kind of healthy, but it's flu season, so I'm sure somebody will get it, or Covid.

David works nights; he usually gets home about 10am. I was out yesterday morning, getting my haircut. When I got home, I could hear David on the phone, which is unusual. After he had finished, I asked if he was alright. He was very pale, and the day before, he had complained of having a very bad headache. He told me that a tooth had broken, and he was in a lot of pain from that. He had made an appointment at the dentist for 1:30.  

Just after one o'clock, Mikey drove him to the dentist. David was in such a state that he couldn't drive.  They came back an hour later, David was in worse agony than before.

I'm not sure what happened, as David couldn't really talk. From what I could understand, it looks like the local anaesthesia hadn't worked.  He has to go back again today. I really hope he can get treatment and recover from this as soon as possible. He looks really bad, he is pale, and his face is swollen.

David on better days!

I finally got my haircut! I was starting to look like "The wild woman of Japan!" It's a bit shorter than I would like, but it will grow! I didn't bother with a colour this time for two reasons. One is that the colour I have starts to look more purple than brown after a couple of washes, also my hair is very dry at the moment.  I think letting it rest this time might help. Maybe I should just embrace the grey. 

Shorter hair

I'm really not photogenic at all. Took a few attempts to get a decent selfie!
