Good morning!
.
So you guys know me through running but I’m not posting about running this morning, instead I’m introducing you to Laura...the healthcare assistant.
.
I’ve been a community carer since I was 16 and it was an amazing 10 years and I learned a lot, cried a lot, smiled a lot and probably lost the plot a lot too!
.
But I’ve always wanted to work within a more clinical setting. I’ve always watched hospital programmes and wanted to be part of that world. And today I have my first shift as a HCA in a hospital!
.
I’m fortunate to be given this chance, and just through training I’ve learned so much already and although I’m anxious, I’m so excited to have a fresh start today and continue learning and progressing.
.
Happy Friday everyone! Have a great day
.

The job I never wanted to apply for. Yet it was thrust upon me. The job that required no job interview. No checks to see if you were qualified. My CV unable to provide the qualifications and expertise for the job role.
Yet here I am. My old job a distant memory to the life I had back then. The person I use to be. As with everything I've had to adapt. Had to accept. Had to thrive. Thrive I have.
You see this job comes without holiday leave. I cannot ring in sick. Breaks are extinct in this line of work. This job has had no health and safety tested. Manual handling is required to inevitably break your back. Lunch is a microwave meal at the end of the day. Alone at night.
The minimum wage in the UK is £8.21 an hour. For a typical 9-5 job that's £65 a day. My wage I hear you ask? £66.15 a WEEK. For 24/7 care. 7 days a week. Thankfully money isn't my reward. You Littlefoot are.
The suffocating loneliness consumes me. On the bad days I wish I could pick up my coat and clock off my shift. Walk away to spend an evening in another life. Yet even with the bad days. My health deteriorating. The guilt that clutches at my heart. The grief that engulfs me. The exhaustion.... I get up everyday to do a job I never wanted yet now its here I couldn't imagine my life without it. Without you.
I dress you. I change your nappies. I bathe and do your cares. I lift you out of bed. I am a nurse. A therapist in specialist areas. A receptionist. The advocate.... A mum.
It's the worse job in the world. Yet its the best. When people ask what I do for a living. I no longer squirm at the question. I Proudly boast I look after my severely disabled daughter.
I help her live.
I help her grow.
Happy Carers week to every single parent in my line of 'work'. This week isn't about our children. It's about us. The unsung heroes. I see you. I am honoured to know such amazing people.

I’ll care for you.
As you open your eyes to a joyful new day, I’ll be here waiting to show you the way
I’ll dress you and feed you, brush your hair with a song, I’ll let you be right even when you are wrong
I’ll be your lookout, your sensory guide, I’ll map out a journey that together we’ll stride
I’ll help you to move, communicate and play, I’ll translate the world, melting barriers away
When the world looks over to stare at your difference, I’ll be there to reassure you, to offer assistance
I’ll steady your legs and I’ll help you to stand, let you know that ‘you’re doing it!’ while grasping your hand
I’ll marvel with pride and great adoration, it’s worth all the fights and the sleep deprivation
You know that I love you, my darling I do, you know that I’d take all your pain from you
You are the best thing my life has to offer, my greatest achievement, my miracle, my daughter
But sometimes the outside doesn’t see it that way, they see only sickness, disabled you’ll stay
I wish they could see the beauty of you, the innocence, the magic, the potential I do
You have a carer, an advocate in me, and I’ll tell the world what I want them to see
I’ll scream from the rooftops about what you can do, about how hard I work for you to join in too
Maybe one day they’ll get it, I really hope so, because you’ve taught me more than they’ll ever know
Though it’s not easy when you’re caring incessantly, being your mummy is the highest blessing
When darkness comes and you’re very unwell, I’ll be there to hold you, your stories I’ll tell
We’ll remember a life that came to fruition, built by your carer with relentless ambition
And when you do leave me, know this is true, there is no better job than being there for you
From the very beginning, to the unspeakable end, I’ll care for you daughter, on me you can depend.

Super happy to be getting back into gigs and what a hectic March I do have. STAY TUNED

Happy 62nd birthday to my mum. You made it! Five years ago my mother acquired meningitis and was in a coma for eight months. When she awoke she couldn't walk, talk or remember anything. It's a slow road towards functioning, but today she can walk and talk. Her memories are vanished and she needs 24hr care. It's a challenge to keep up the grace as a carer, hats off to all carers! This photo was just after she had wandered off from my house and was brought back in a police car, she was quite traumatised. Found her a relaxing job and put on music.. Always looking for ways to alleviate her anxiety. She knows things aren't right and I wouldn't say she is happy, but she really, really tries. #whenmemoriesarenteverything #braininjury #nihilist #existentialcrisis #carer #whenonlythepresentmatters #onedayatatime #eternalpresent #timeiscircular
Der Pflegenotstand ist mittlerweile so groß, dass ganze Altenheime schließen müssen – weil sie kein Personal bekommen. Die 92-jährige Magda verliert dadurch ihr Zuhause. In der Altenpflege waren 2018 gut 21.000 Menschen mehr beschäftigt als im Vorjahr. Zusätzlich werden neue Stellen geschaffen, weil es immer mehr Pflegebedürftige gibt. Und trotzdem blieben laut Bundesagentur für Arbeit 2018 bundesweit knapp 40.000 Pflegestellen unbesetzt. ⚕️⚕️ #pflege #pflegenotstand #caregivers #altenpflegerin #altenpfleger #carer #care #home #heimat

Another good memory from Tenerife Island: @piramidesguimar !
Thank you for having me !

Small update for those of you who missed my previous posts: I am now heading back home, which will (finally) give me enough time to manage the last details before the publication of my extensive article on accessible Tenerife .

All went well at the hospital …
Not much sleep with all these sensors connected everywhere but checkup results were quite OK!
