Post 47 : 8th December

The steroid injection I had yesterday causes me to wake at 3am. I read for two hours and still can’t fall back to sleep so I give up and get up. Yesterday I had another ‘cook-in’ in the kitchen. I can’t stomach any type of milk at the moment and Rachel suggested I bake a muesli bread. I have some for breakfast and it goes down well. Two hours later I feel nauseous, but that is a common side effect of eating at the moment. There is always a cost!
I have received a Christmas card from the parent of one of the emotionally and behaviourally disturbed teenagers that I was working with intensively for two years. Her comment brings tears to my eyes.
“Thank you for all your support with my daughter over the last three years. All the time in helping her with her social skills and learning skills. Also helping myself and just being a phone call away. Always having the time to listen and offer advice. I hope you are getting better soon.”
This is her daughter’s final year at the school. It is strange to contemplate never working with her again. I have some huge adjustments to make in my life. It is daunting.
