Hi Joanne, thanks for asking.
John is better than he's been for months!
His heel has healed over -- though swabs still come back MRSA. He's more alert, and his colour is good. I get smiles and kisses -- though not on the mouth. When I go to kiss him, he sticks his tongue out!
Tomorrow is a big day for the home. The group has a chef of the year competition, and each home has to put on a themed festival and meal. These are videoed, and judged by head office. They're doing a coronation street party -- no, a street party from the time of the coronation!
They've put so much work into it, but the activities co-ordinator has torn a muscle and is on crutches, and the handyman's father, who was a long-term resident of John's unit, died yesterday. How unlucky can you be! Sorry, that sounds uncaring, and I didn't mean it that way. The whole unit (and one regular visitor!) is very upset at his loss.
And I've got my meeting with my MD tomorrow morning, so I might be out of a job by lunch time!
But John is well, and that's what matters.
Love,
