Keen young netballer hopes to be back on court soon, 5cm shorter after operation

Julie Kaio Reporter from Franklin County News

A keen, young North Waikato netballer has had an operation that  will make her shrink in height - but it's a good outcome.
Waikaretu's Bethany Mahoney, 10, was born with posteromedial tibia, which is a deformity in the tibia bone that causes the foot's location to be … View more

Well hey there guys, I'm back from maternity leave!
On January 3, I gave birth to my first child - Jack.
It's been such an incredible experience watching my helpless newborn baby grow into a chubby little six-month-old who is already trying to talk. (He'll probably be a chatterbox like his mum).
But all good things must come to end, and so here I am back at my desk and it's already feeling a bit like I never left.
The cliches about time speeding by when you have a child are true.
I'm pretty excited to get back into work mode. I'd missed the hilarious office banter and adult conversations.
As any stay-at-home parent knows, sometimes it can get a little bit hard without that mental stimulation.
Maternity leave definitely confirmed to me that I love my job - I love interacting with people, I love writing and I love our team here at Franklin County News.
I can't wait to hear from the Franklin community again!
- Nats :)

Entering permanent care can be a daunting task

Acacia Cove Village

Whether you are in the midst of a crisis, or at the stage that either you or your spouse need to enter permanent care, it can be a very daunting task. Acacia Cove offers independent living while having nurses either onsite or on call 24/7.

The Directors of Acacia Cove recognised how difficult it was for couples to separate as one moved into full-time care and so facilitated the sale of land close by to Bupa NZ Ltd to build a facility that our residents had access to. This has proved to be very successful. However, only a really low percentage of people ever need to move into full-time care, because ideally the District Health Boards would prefer to find home-based support to keep people in their own homes.
