Ok, my mom is now home again while we both wait for a new place to live, however she's already back to her old self, trying to get everything done at once and just thinking that she can do without help, or food for that matte which she can't cook herself while in the wheelchair. She's cancelled help from the county, of course (she's done this countless times the last 6 months, as if it wasn't enough of a hazzle trying to convince her to say yes in the first place) and has postponed calling for hot meals to be delivered. She was up later than me, and woke up before me and was trying to stand and pack away heavy things and everything. Michael and I both think that if she won't slow down then she'll end back in the hospital within 1 week.

Ok, my mom so far has avoided accident, and gone back to understanding the need for a place with better help, but now, just a few minutes ago, around 11 pm, I get a call from my brother. He's in the emergency room, heavily doped up on morfin (danish spelling, can't remember the english one), a car hit him on his motorcycle in an intersection and his foot is broken and might need surgury tonight, driver said to the police she didn't see him. His motorcycle also sounds like a write-off.

I've exchanged some sms' with my brother and he's been moved to a ward where he will have his foot operated on soon, probably within a few hours (it's 01:41 atm (24 hour time)). He's getting all the morfine he wants to try and kill the pain. And he'd only just gotten his just less than 6 month old bike serviced and gotten new tires on (12000 km) and not long ago had an alarm fitted and now it's wrecked. His bachelor also has to be postponed, but at least he did get the jobs to make up for the financial goverment study aid in the summer vacation before the accident.
