Occupation Nursing and Practice Management
here is a summary of the last 40 years in a nutshell:
Did a B.A. H.Dip.Ed at Wits, then off to London where I taught English for two years at a large Comprehensive Secondary School and did lots of travelling. Returned to JHB, met and married Melvyn Polon (KD ?68) and we migrated to Sydney.
I taught in Sydney for a few years while Melvyn specialised in Paediatrics, then I went to Sydney Uni and completed a degree in Social Work with post-grad training in Couple and Family therapy. We have two children, Josh (23) and Micayla(14).
Melvyn and I split in 2001, and for the next five years I went on a character-building roller-coaster ride.There is still the odd bump to circumnavigate, but life now is generally a lovely smooth ride and I?ve certainly learned to enjoy and appreciate the present.
Am very happily repartnered with a Jewish Australian and work in his practice two days a week.(He?s a surgeon, I do some nursing and practice management duties,but can call on my psychological skills if any patients seem to be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder following surgery!)
?.that?s it for now. Downloading pics will be more of a challenge, will need more time for that.Looking on the site at photos of people I?ve not seen for 40 years or so was amazing. Anyway, thanks so much for your help.
Cheers for now,
Hazel.
