Marilyn, I've sent you a pm, if it's not what you meant, let me know.

Trust you lot to think I was drunk in the chair.............lol

Hi all, I had a hospital appointment today (after the street emergency) and then got company, been busy teaching my great niece to knit.

Shelly, you're right about the gloves but it was an emergency, like Mo said - it's not something I carry in my pocket. I was worrying about the blood at the time but I couldn't leave him. There were only 2 other men with him, one rang for the ambulance and stayed on the phone telling them what was happening with the jerking and frothing. The other one was on the ground with me trying to hold the lad on his side, we were both covered in blood. I don't know how he is because I never saw the men when I got back home.

Mo ,
Get the whip out for your Roly....not good enough !!

I bet Shelly would get that done in a jiffy ...LOL

I'm getting fed up with my Ancestry Tree I got some names wrong and cant find the cancel button. The reason why I like Genes tree is that its simple I can understand that one .
I have asked Pauline to help.......might get Shelly if Nurse Pauline is still in shock.......

I'll sit and wait ....Pauline patiently ...twiddling my finger at the ready....

Mo give Roly a dig and tell him the clocks alter at the end of next month 31st I think it is. he will not be able to see what he is doing in the dark Lol

Shelly I glanced at your Grave thread it is so good the way you have it laid out I am sure lots of people look at it.
I check it every now and again incase someone comes up with my famlies Grave most of mine are in Devenshire, and Scotland my husbands is St Pancras aera.but I keep looking.

Shelly I saw her laying in an armchair she had a red nose through drinking that Brandy I didnt wake her up I left her to it.

PAULINE WAKE UP.


Rita

Hi Shelly, I couldn't fit surgical gloves in my bag. By the time I get OH's rubbish in there,and the kitchen sink theres not much room left.
I wonder why it's always a womans handbag, that when you are out that the OH says, can you just put such and such in your bag.
When shall I expect you and your daughter round, to clear my garden then mate.
I can't believe Roly, he went up to B+Q's today, to get some paint, and came back with some decking for the garden.
Yeh o.k, the weather for the next few days is rain. I suppose it will be like everything else, he gets these brilliant ideas, and goes out and buys the gear to do them,and thats as far as it goes.
He bought two bedside cabinets,about 18 months ago. But they have to be made up, even though they are pine, guess where they are, yep, still in the shed. He bought a paint on covering for the shed as it leaks,back in february, thats still in the shed. He also bought boarding to renew the roof inside the shed, well yes thats still waiting to be done.
I gave up moaning about it years ago, but very frustrated.
I know I sound like moaning minnie don't I, sorry.

I hope you are all o.k. Love to Jean and our Rita.

rita i think pauline dident come back as she drunk all the brandy in stead of just haveing a glass lol

she probley still carnt get up from the chear

I have sat here and PONDERED on whether I should let her go off to St Ives ? a big PONDER but thought i had better sign the chit so she can go it was her brithday recently so I suppose she deserves a break,
Shelly I love MOuse Hole and St Michaels Mount my in laws lived in Camborn Cornwall and I use to go there alot. although mother in Law was born in scotland. while there in 1971 I met an artist painting St
Michaels Mount I said to my husband John how lovely it was. he brought it for me. I gave it too my son a few years ago for his offiice in his house. it hangs on the wall and when I go there brings back some lovely memeories.

Pauline are you getting over the shock now ? I wonder how the man is.?
I have just answered a long email from my grandaughter in Christchurch in Dorset I had to print it out otherwise I forget it all,.

My Grandson in the army has gone to Oman and is complaing about the heat is there for 6 months.
My nephew is in South Africa and has body guards with him.but it is still a worry.my sister worries herself sick,.
sun is shining here and at last I can open the windows and let the fresh i. in

Rita

Afternoon everyone

~~~~ to Jean, Pleased you had some good news.

Well done Pauline, it was a good thing you were there and knew what to do, I've done First Aid training because of looking after the kids at school but the most I've had to deal with are grazed knees, we have to wear gloves if theres's blood.

Tut Tut, Rita, Marilyns of again on holiday, she did not get permission, did she give you a note requesting this break away. If not shes not allowed to go. Mind you marilyn has not been back to America YET. She's such a gad about that girl.
We are only jealous Marilyn.

Oh Pauline, what a shock that must have been for you. Did the other workmen know what to do, or did you have to take control.
As Shelly has said, gloves are the order of the day, but, in the case of an emergency,they are not always to hand are they.
It's not like we carry them round in our pocket, or perhaps we should, we never know when we are going to need them.

No Stephen today then, I thought it was rather quiet.
Thank goodness I was up early to prepare breakfast for us. LOL

Hi Linda, Jean, Shelly,Liz ,Yvonne I did not want you to think I had forgotten you.

Marilyn, why don't you pack your case packed tommorrow, that way they won't get to creased.

Rita,

I'm off to St Ives in Cornwall for 5 days in a hotel, then going up to see my sister in North Devon for a couple of nights .....is that alright with you ?...LOL

Our water pressure has just dropped , so now going to ring the water board as Pete wants a shower......

Pauline what a shock that must have been but like said maybe it was his first Fit. ? Stacey my granddaughter never had a fit in her life but she did last year when she was in hospital.
she had quiet a few. but touch wood none since.

That poor man I do feel really sorry for him. maybe he depended on that job was he the driver then ?
I was thinking perhaps his boss did know he had fits but took him on because he was cheap. they do that sometimes.

Linda I went into Town as the flat near me is having a new kitchen fitted and the noise was really bad. so I thought I might as well today while that was going on I had my hair washed and trimmed and blow dried. and I brought some birthday cards and a Desk Diary for next year as my appointments laspse over to the next year that way I can write them in now as they come in. but it was so hot in Town and I wore a coat I must be mad.
Marilyn where are you off too.have I missed one of your threads. ? you are suppose to ask me first.


Rita

its ok it was only marilyn
to tell me that iv put a k in catholic on my grave thread lol

now just popping off to salt it out

lucky you was there to help the best you can
but please try and remember next time you are delling with blood to put some rubber glove on even if thay are marrygold ones

hang on think ill got a pm
just going to see to it

Pauline.. You are a brave one you are probably shaking more now its over than when it happened .

Poor man maybe it was his first Fit as my old neighbour had one on a trip to the seaside and she said afterwards that it was her first ever fit she had to give up Child minding without her income on that, it left her well & truly not able the life style she was used to .

Are the workmen still next door ? I bet they are still shocked.

Never mind Pauline we have to do these things don't we .
Have a G&T or something !

Oh Pauline
I hope you have had a cup of tea with sugar by now. At least you didn't panic at his fitting, lots would have.
I too hope he will be OK, maybe his employers will let him work but not drive ?

Take care

Linda :o) XxX

OOPs that added twice !!!

Hi all, I've just had an awful experience, I'm still shaking. I was washing my hands at the kitchen sink when I saw a workman (who's just arrived to do a job next door) take an epileptic fit. My son takes gran mal epileptic fits so I wasn't frightened of the fit, but when I ran out and turned him on his side I got a shock. He'd gone down face first (heavily) onto concrete and his glasses had been pushed deeply into his eyebrow. He had a great big hole in his brow and the blood was shooting out all over. He'd also smashed his nose, split his lip and bit his tongue. His whole face and head was covered in blood, it was pouring out of him. I had so much blood on me I looked like I'd been in a road accident. The fit lasted so long that I thought he wasn't going to come out of it. He'd only just stopped jerking when the ambulance arrived. He's gone off to hospital now but he's only barley conscious.

I think he'll lose his job over it because he was the van driver and the men said they didn't know he was epileptic. The paramedic was annoyed that he'd been driving and said that if it had happened 5 minutes earlier, he'd have killed them all. He told them to phone the boss and report him. I hope he's OK.
