Where to start….

 Ok…I finished up last blog with Shawn going back to work with dirty hands. After a few scrubbings they did come clean then he was sent for a fit for work assessment and urinalysis. He did the work assessment but didn’t do the urinalysis till 2 days later. Work accused him of trying to get out of the test to give him time to clear the system….as the test came back negative. Unbeknown to me he had been clean from for a few days. He also rang me and asked if he could home as he was drug free and couldn’t live the life he was living anymore. We agreed, and apart from him eating us out of house and home all is going well. But he also came home with the flu. I was booked in for cataract surgery later that week so I bought him some cold and flu meds including nasal inhalers and cough lollies. 

Anyways work told him he had to have a work clearance and another urinalysis before he could start his shifts. Done that on the day but that one came back positive. We believe it was the cold and flu meds which gave a false reading. A clinical nurse we spoke to agreed, but his work has dismissed him as he has broken their code of conduct. We’ve had a meeting with them but they don’t believe us. Instant dismissal. 

So son is home, clean from drugs and back to his normal self and now also jobless. 

So it’s been a roller coaster ride these past few weeks. Emotions have been all over the place. Weight has been put on but now my eye is healing from the cataract surgery, son is healthy again. Hand is healing ok, had another hand therapy session yesterday, the therapist was happy with progress…..so maybe, just maybe I can get my shit together and get myself back on track. Ughhhhhhh I need too, my clothes are tight.  I am now home full time as well as I have fully resigned, I no longer do any paid work. 

Right, till next time …..
