Matisyahu's Blog

Well, I came back from overseas, had a week off sick then went back to work but spent time replying to customer emails rather than taking phone calls – I really needed that extra week of recovery because goodness knows what I caught took a lot out of me. I don’t think it was COVID but something else – what the something else is I don’t know but it was nasty (the plane from Bisbane to Wellington was horrible, I was running a temperature, coughing, then eventually I fell asleep which allowed me to at least have a rest – when I eventually got home I slept something like 15+ hours, woke up, drank some water then went back to sleep again – so many hours of sleep making up for lost time I guess).

On Sunday I was messaged by mum that Nana has not eaten or taken a good amount of fluids and that they were doing end of life care. Today (Tuesday) my sister informed me that nana died at 2pm – if there is a saving grace at least it wasn’t a drawn out experience that occured with dad being a hospice with cancer. I’ll be taking 3 days bereavement leave – I’ll try to keep updating my blog but as you can expect there are other priorities at the moment.
