All is arranged for my rehab extension…. in a way I don’t want to do it, but a) do I think that it will help me and b) am I a bit scared to say no, as I don’t know what the reaction would be and I want to say that I really tried everything …

The sun is shining and the snow is sparkling. I am slowly arriving in rehab mode and despite moments, when I feel like in an old people’s home, I feel that it is good for me …. the dancing teacher is 80+ and we are all holding hands, but the „what the hell am I …
