Monday

 Well another week another fresh start ..lol

Last week turned into a bit of a shit show , went to Ingoldmells to visit son and his fiancé, they were staying there for the week , it was every bit as stereotypical as i remembered though in an update for you all, it now has the same endless market stalls , less fake branded goods and endless stalls of tat they all seem to be full of endless dog boutiques and weed accessories the vaping hoards were all marching round with a couple of nice friendly French Bulldogs being attacked by hoards of Chihuahuas in pushchairs , very surreal . I cant say i bought anything , himself managed a big cooked breakfast and i was trying to stop crying with laughter at a young couple with a baby in a pushchair who were arguing 

"Well you shouldnt have given her such a long ffing name, then you could afford the bloody tattoo"

Himself "ive never seen so many people in buggies " he didnt see the irony as he sat in his buggy or the huge disappointment as we had to leave early  due to his batteries going  flat 

Just to finish the week , we had to shove him in an emergency ambulance Friday , our wonderful ask GP yet again , it was on for 3 minutes so we had to join the bleedin queue to ring them , i barely got his name out told them he had chest pains and she screamed at me to ring 999 and hung up .  We looked at each other and rang for the ambulance , who promptly sent out the paramedics , nice lads as always only took 10 minutes as they were in the area, they wired him up and said we dont think its his heart but we will pop him in anyway just to be sure , as i said the dreaded GPs said we had to ring you but we didnt think it was his heart this time, the paramedics looked at each other and said the name of our surgery and laughed . It would seem they spend all day going to calls from our surgery . I picked him up at tea time , it would seem he has an infection under the muscles of his chest , painful but not his heart so hes just grumpy and immobile at the moment , he cant use his crutches with one arm and hes sulking because he had to buy new batteries for his buggy .

Im trying to build up the will to do a post on the shambolic world of  Universal Credit , its bad and ongoing , i may save it till the end of this saga

  1. I'm glad it wasn't his heart. My SIL was very ill the other Saturday night. 111 said ring 999 who said "5hour wait for an ambulance" - so he got an Uber to A&E and was seen very quickly. Fortunately he is OK now, but if there had been a delay, who knows?

  2. Your GP practice reminds me of the staff at the nursing facility where both my parents were patients. Every -- every! -- weekend they sorted out their staffing shortage by sending one of the parents to the A&E. On the weekend both were admitted, I knew one of them was actually acutely unwell.

  3. Sending hugs. So glad it wasn't the heart but it sounds like it's a trial anyway - to both of you!

    Take care.
