Good for you for stopping and helping, @potatolord. Pretty shocking that the ambulance service has got so bad that a collapsed pregnant woman has to wait more than 45 minutes for an ambulance

It's fainting and she regained consciousness- she'll be graded amber or green, so an hour ETA is not bad.

They would have bumped her to Red if she remained unconscious.

I used to do a lot on health statistics (inc ambulance times), so know this stuff well.

Getting ready to see a couple of movies at the cinema - Dumb Money, then Killers of the Flower Moon.

Built a float with some friends for the bonfire parade for our kid's school. I won't be doing the painting or drawing! :cry:

All I can say is thank god they have a shed (they live on a farm) because the weather was horrid!

Had to turn around a lorry for an hour in torrential rain, that was unpleasant, totally soaked through even with a high vis waterproof jacket, then #smugface# got a towel and change of clothes out of my car, everyone else was like **** you!

This is the secret to all camping and travel activities, go prepared

This instant and moment I am sipping a brew and willing myself to get up and cut some skirting boards...

Stupid phone battery has swollen up enough to prize the case open. Gonna be phoneless for a few days until a new battery turns up.

Interesting day at work yesterday to say the least. Took a patient from resus to CCU, suddenly went light headed and went lights out in CCU. Came too on the floor a few seconds later with 5 cardiac nurses and a cardiac Dr sticking an O2 mask on me. Ironically, they used the same trolley I'd just brought my patient on to rush me down to resus. Full cardiac trace and bloods done and all clear. Sent home because the Dr was adamant it was a vasovagal (which I 100% agree with), but if it occurred again to come back in. Happened again at home a few hours later, so back up to work for another trace, more bloods and a head CT - all came back clear. So now onto to neurology to rule other things out. I'm still agreeing with the first Dr I saw in resus.

Was very strange being the other side of the curtain and having your work mates and colleagues treat you like the patient. Have to say though, I couldn't have picked a better place to go down.

Yikes. Hope there's nothing serious wrong, @Malevolence .

Found a little hedgehog living in our garden house while I was out smoking my pipe. Left it a bit of catfood.

I don't know where to post this but I just sent a fairly scary message, I'm trying to tackle my anxiety and set boundaries and demand my worth from people at the moment... So outside of my comfort zone

I hope it goes well!

I am familiar with that feeling, I hope you get your response soon!

It's going to be a very awkward conversation, some people close to me see me as greedy but it feels like I've had a bait and switch done on me, so I'm either wanting to be compensated accordingly or I'm going self employed.

Anyone live around or near to Kenilworth castle and know the best area close enough to park up and walk?

If you have English Heritage membership, parking is free at the castle.

Yeah but they’ve also closed the car park for bonfire night on Saturday and closed the surrounding roads to stop people parking inconsiderately

the closest place to park would be the train station but it’s a 1.1 mile walk to the castle.
