Update from Airasa
Hi all,
Sorry I haven't been in touch recently, but life takes over! Thanks to my mum for keeping you all updated.
My dad has asked me to tell you all that I have been successful at getting a new job. I'll still be teaching, but at another school. I have been wanting to leave where I am for a while now, but with all that was happening with my dad I was putting off applying for other jobs. One day I got more fed up than usual and so decided to start applying for a new post. When my Grandma and dad's cousin Gale were here I had an unsuccessful interview (boo hoo) but another school I had applied to at the same time invited me for interview and that is the job I got. I'm starting in September and am very excited.
As far as my dad goes, after 2 weeks and a day in bed due to a pressure sore, yesterday he was up for both OT and PT and was feeling much better for it. He has lost some of the gains he made before the enforced bed rest, but is being very stoical and is determined to try and pick up (near) where he left off. We are still no closer to a date of return but are trying to leave his options open as far as housing, etc. as much as we can. Thanks to everyone who has been putting in the effort for keeping that going.
I think we have found a way for him to make phone calls from his bed phone (phone cards and lots of dialling!) so you may get a call from him. thanks to everyone who has called him - I get a full run down of the conversation when I go to visit. He says it's like having extra visitors. The system of phoning the ward phone first, getting him set up on his bed phone, and then phoning the bed phone seems to be working well. He can't hear his bed phone (ring is far too quiet) so this seems like the best solution.
Hope you are all looking after yourselves and spring is springing where you are!
Love,
Airasa
