Lenka and I arrived to be greeted by Fabiana (an occupational therapist) at the front of our destination. We were assigned to a simple task of moving Mrs A bed into the living room to make room for a hospital bed in her bedroom. She had been at hospital over a week and was ready to be discharged but needed a hospital bed first. So we arrived at 2pm and hospital bed was due to arrive at 3pm so we had this one time window to get it done but sometimes you just don't know what problems are presented to you at these tasks. We were presented with the problem from the very start, Fabiana and ourselves were unable to unlock any of the five key safes outside the flats to get the key to Mrs A. We thought we may have the wrong code or were at the wrong entrance. Fabiana made a few calls to verify the correct code and after being outside for 20 minutes it turned out she had open one of the key safes it just needed a a little force and viola the key presented itself. So with no time to waste we got in the flat, moved some furniture around, moved the bed and mattress, tided up and took some photos. In 10 minutes we were walking out, disposing our gloves and sanitising our hands with a nice run back home. I guess it goes to show all good things come to he who waits.
