Hope all goes/went well with your interview Hazel. I don't mean for this to sound wrong but from what you have said your dad may well enjoy all his visits from his healthcare team. Old people often like someone to natter to 🙂
 
Hi Hazel, I hope the job interview goes well for you.

Just a thought, but is there a Day Centre nearby your dad could go to. There's one near me where older folk can go for company and a bit of fun. They can play cards, see a movie, do crafts or watch telly, have a meal, a hairdo or their feet seen. They also do day trips when there's enough folk interested (and the weather is OK).
 
Hi Hazel, wishing your dad a speedy recovery. All the best, hope he is well soon!
 
Hi Hazel,

Good luck today with the interview - is it anything interesting?

I hope your dad continues to improve and is home soon x
 
Hi Lucy - well that's another interview dome and dusted. Should hear on Friday.

A one of job in a solictors firm, working with the litigation team. A good job. Could learn a lot.

Time will tell.
 
Wishing you all the luck in the world Hazel!

I know the feeling! But just be yourself and try not worry - get a couple of good nights sleep if you can before then. Really pleased for you 🙂 I'm sure Dad will be pleased also!
 
Hazel I am thinking about you so much. I know how you feel as my dad means the world to me too. We have some issues at the moment but reading your post has helped me to try and cope as you have gone through a very upsetting time. Sending my love and hugs to you, it is really hard not to feel lost and lonely as this is how I am feeling atm

Your dad is being cared for and I hope to read he is home again very soon. Caring takes it's toll so I hope you can look after your own health. I am relatively new here but feel so much when I read a post like this. Take care

Good luck for Thursday Hazel. You can do it!🙂
 
Hazel - you go girl!
Just be exactly as you were today - and don't be frightened of 4 people - it gives you chance to impress more people!
Well done you!
 
Best of luck and lots of love for thursday Hazel xxx
 
Hi Hazel,

I hope your dad gets things in place at home soon and that your job interview goes well.🙂Bev
 
Good luck for Thursday and I hope your Dad is home soon. My Grandad had a care package at home and, once he got used to it, really enjoyed having different people coming and going who he could chat to. Changed his life for the better.
 
Dad and I are truly blessed to 'know' so many kind people - I would have struggled these last few days, your kindness and good wishes have been so very welcome.

I hope I don't let you down on Thursday - I am trying not to get too excited, as I don't want to be disappointed if it goes belly up.

Big party though if I get Dad home and I get the job this week.

You are special people - thank you all
