Default Mrs Jim is back home :)

Well just thought I'd say Mrs Jim2004 is out of the hospital and back home This is a weeks trial which has been arranged so if it is too soon and things go pear shaped, the bed will still be there and we won't have to go thru all the messing again to get her back in.

I'm confident it won't be needed as she is just getting better and better by the day All the things like watching TV, listening to music, reading of any sort, which she hasn't been able to do for weeks, well she's back on track with all of that!

At the time all of this started, there was a couple of worrying replies to one of my posts about the state of the Mental Health funding in Australia, and I think what I'm about to say is VERY relevant!

I've been shocked how many Aussies or Kiwi's we've come into contact really, the Social Worker is an Aussie, the Psychiatrist is a Kiwi, and the top bloke she see today is another Aussie.

Anyway, because of my worries about my partner, I HAD TO grab the top bloke today, pull to one side, and ask his opinion on Mental Health is Oz, and was quite reassured by his comments. He basically said that the help you'd get in Oz would be no diff from the UK, as good as! He said he'd worked in Brisbane for 3 yrs and said the help was as good there as anywhere else he'd worked!

Now as far as still going to Oz, well it's completely been put on the back burner for now, but hearing what I have from these few ppl, well it's just good news in my book.

The bloke I see today said there should be MANY things I should worry about with emigrating to Oz, but there Mental Health support REALLY shouldn't be one of them!

Sounds good to me!

Paul,

Glad to hear that things are going well and your good lady is back home, and I hope this signals the turning of the corner, if you know what I mean!

Sending you all a hug and some K!

Pleased to hear you have your lady home, and that things are looking good.Take it easy both of you, sounds as if you will have the medical support in Oz.

Good luck with whatever you decide
