Post op...

So, I had my surgery, and now I'm back home waiting for Bethany to arrive tomorrow.. It's all good. I expected to be out of hospital last Monday, but they sent me home on the Saturday. They've taken a bunch of skin and fatty tissue from the inside of my mouth to sort out the problem, and that's quite sore, but it's healing and the skin is regenerating. The fatty tissue will never grow back, so I'll always be able to feel the muscles inside my cheeks now, which is pretty wierd.

Things are a bit wierd at school. Xec emailed me today to say that the job losses have been announced. They are axing a bunch of teachers and almost all of the nursery nurses. Fortunately for me, they're keeping all the teaching assistants, but it's pretty harsh on the other staff. The LEA seems to think that it can replace teachers with higher level teaching assistants, which is a load of rubbish. Please pray for all the staff at the special schools across the city of Leeds, who are understandably worried about their jobs. Also for Michael, our headteacher, who I think is going to get a lot of stick for this, even though it's not his fault - he's being told what to do.

Finally, on a more positive note, I don't know if any of you have seen the new Volkswagen Golf GTi commercial yet, but it's unstinkingbelievable. Watch it here...
