Denyse

Last Wednesday a clinical psychologist from the "brain injuries unit" in Glasgow arrived here in Mumbai. She has taken a 1 year unpaid leave from her work, and is planning to be with us for a few months. You can see her hiding behind Freya here!

She seems like a really nice person. We hope that it will be a great support for Jo her being here. They have both been going into the hospital together a fair bit this week, meeting with consultants etc. They are planning to run some training seminars for the nursing and medical staff further down the line. They may also visit some other hospitals and charities, to see just what sort of service is available here in India, and also to get an idea of the best ways that Denyse can be used effectively during her time here.

As Jo will be a bit busier during these few months, I will be doing a bit more in the way of child-care, especially in the afternoons. Most of my doctoring with patients occurs from 9am-3pm anyway, but I'll be likely to miss some meetings and not be available to do teaching at Lok for a wee while.
