After Kelly died, I noticed I got a lot sicker, but I have also noticed that I have a lot more gray hair.  I guess the stress of loosing her has really taken a toll.  She is really going to get a laugh out of that. 

The other thing that is adding to my gray is the kids.  They are going through so much now.  Colton is having more stresses as he is trying to be out on his own.  He was in such a hurry to grow up, but is now seeing, adult life is not as great as he thought it would be.  This includes his education of how tough the world is on us. 

Then today, he calls and says, he was running across the street and he felt something pop in his knee.  He had friends with him who said he had to go to the ER, because something was protruding from his knee.  It turns out, his bone was pushing out, because the muscle/tenant was shredded.  The doctor couldn't put it in place, because it would only come back out.  So they put a brace on his knee that would gently put it back, while it heals.  Next week, he will go back in, to see if he is healing properly or if he will have to have more aggressive therapy or maybe even surgery.  He will still be able to work, he just can't bend his knee for awhile.  He wasn't good about being on crutches when he broke his heal, so I hope he is good about using crutches now. 

Gray gray gray, well, i'm due for some color and a cut, my hair is way to stinkin long.  Not as long as Steph & Lauren's tough, both of them have hair to their waist.
