My dad's thyroid surgery went well. He came out of the hospital on Sunday.
Mum is very sick now and since getting my dad sick while recovering is a big no-no, she is staying at my sister's place.
Since I'm still not working, my hubby and I are staying here with my father, to take care of him.
It's not easy. Being as he was operated on the thyroid, it is very debilitating for him to even swallow. He gets the shakes pretty bad. I am hoping he'll feel better within the next day or two. I am doing everything I can, but short of taking his pain away, I just have to stand back and watch. I feel pretty helpless. It's not fun watching your father brought to his knees (in a sense) through pain. I feel awful for him.
Whenever possible, I am trying to take every opportunity I can to study while I'm here. I don't know if I'll be ready or not for the exam on the 26th, but I'm going to give it my best shot. While working on my writing, I am hoping I can work even just part-time as a Nutrition and Wellness Specialist. Moving forward always.
I just heard back from the publishing house and it is yet another rejection. Keeping my head up about it.
Once the exam is over and I have more time, I'll be back to the books, concentrating on where to submit it again. Not giving up. Persistence and patience.
Hey Aurora.... glad to have you back in blogland and in Canada! Sorry about your Dad, being sick is definitely no fun and usually harder on the person watching! Keep hanging in there on all fronts. Sorry I missed your last post, just saw it today too.... glad you are getting your own place, it will help mentally to feel like you are moving upwards.... keeping positive thoughts your way you will get a job soon! Hugs.
ReplyDeleteHi Heather!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments. You always make me smile and feel more confident. :)
This has been a harder path to walk down then when I flew thousands of miles and landed in Japan on my own without knowing a single word or person in the country!
Life is really strange.
