I applied for a job back in the Midlands on Wednesday, they asked me to go for an interview on Thursday, I was interviewed on Friday afternoon, and got a job offer on the train home. I've applied for quite a few jobs more because I felt I should, rather than because I wanted to work at that particular hospital. I went to this interview though, and knew straight away it was the place for me.
There's also talk of me having spinal surgery to try to get a bit more feeling back. It would involve fitting a sort of pacemaker below the level of the lesion to see if the affected nerves can be tricked into working again. It's a pretty big op, so my neurologist wants to give me until April 2016 (18 months post transverse myelitis onset) to see if I make any further spontaneous improvement, and we can see what the most appropriate choice is at that point.
I'm very happy, and life is great at the moment. I've got 16 shifts left as a student, dissertation results are coming out this week, I'll soon know my degree class, and in 35 days I'm setting off for Africa. It finally looks like it's all coming together!
