well thought I was on a roll there having successfully uploaded camera to laptop then to blogg but I can't seem to repeat the exercise so I will keep you in suspense ( and me )
this mornings presentation had an audience of 70 neither Ruth nor I slept much nor did our porridge (that the make especially for us ) justice but all went well and the french slides were a real help! I have to tell you all though that as they were using my lap top which was with the director , not in view of this pic, the guy at the front is Alphonse, the pall care lead, at the front it flicked to the save mode where it just rolls through all my pics ,,,,,,, this means that those at the front know you all well now and those at the back could see you through the screen curtains !! You all continued to roll round about 3 times, pics of BBQs at chapel st , inc the practice one , pics of croquet , new year fancy dress , you name it ... the director was far too interested in them to flick them off, mildly embarassing !! He loved the screen save at the end of Tower Bridge and explained to everyone how it open up to let boats through!!!
Ward round followed and we picked up some cases for this afternoons discussions , they were desperate for more role play!
They took us to one young man in his 30s who had caught his sleeve on a door handle fallen backwards and severed his spine . He is paralysed from the waist down and has been in hospital for 3 years. we spent the afternoon explaining he is not a pall care patient and hope to start to get him up in a wheelchair and rehabilitated, he has been waiting for 3 years for doctors to come from India and operate,  tragic but we are determined to make progress with him adjusting to life in a wheelchair  and start a discharge plan.
we took our usual end of the day unwind walk and went  behind the hotel tonight , it is a truly beautiful country with green rolling hills and a lake in the distance
supper soon but ordering is easy as we know the menu off by heart!!
