Rita Report 10 Sep 2012 17:43

well here I am back home dont know for how long. It is along story so I wont go into all the details. five hours after coming out of hospital. I was violently sick and was bleed like a stuffed pig. my body felt it was on its last legs. and I had terrible pain in my side.
I pulled the anchor call cord and asked for help. an Ambulance was needed after alot of questions. and me nearly on the floor with pain. I got a call from the amabulance service wxplaind I had just come out of Hospital, and geve all the details , while I was lying on the bed shaking from the cold. I was told Sorry your not a life of death so cannot send an ambulance. but hang up and I will get the medical man on the phone so I hung up 12 minutes later. I had a call and once again what I was feeling like.
He said I will send a local dr to you maybe he can give you some pain killers the doctor called it was my own doctor. she took one look and said they should not have sent you home and your going back she gave me an in injection to stop me being sick.
she said she was writing a letter which she did. the Ambulance arrived lights flashing. I was taken into hospital had xrays. scan on my chest and on me head.
I was taken off warfarin and my chemo tablets so the bleeding would stop.

But your not beleive this. none of my family knew I was in hospitall they had tried to phone me. phoned around nothing. so my son came to my flat. he thought I must be unconsious. in the end he went to the two flats above mine and Ted told him i had been rushed into hospital on an emergency and Les said the same , they had heard me pull the cord .
so my son went down stairs to see the Estate Manager. she said she didnt hear anything. he said dont give me that the cord was heard upstairs and you must have heard it. so you should have notiied me. she said the Ambulance men should have done that. John said how can they they dont know the next of kin. He is going to write to head office about it he is furous so is my daughter and other sonI cannot beleive how a caring for older people is written on their heading paper and they do nothing and only want our money.
so you see I am glad to behome. althought not that good yet. but it is a worry now what if it happens again.


By the way my Granddaughter Stacey had her operation a major one and is still in intensive care but doing well. she is a fighter .

Love to you all.

Yvonne,

The 'Wee Chuckle for the day' that I posted on the General Board was the one that got RRd..

GR re-instated it though.

it has certainly raised a few eyebrows and comments.

Beautiful day here too! :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

It is a bit worrying about Rita. She has had a run of bad luck in the last few months. Please God she is fine.

Anyone seen Mo recently? We seem scattered to the four winds recently. No one posting on a regular basis. I am definitely not.

I'm not very good at relaxing to be truthful. I keep looking at things that need doing, or I think they need doing, but I get very figetty if I am not doing something.

Take care everyone, and keep well.

A Wee Chuckle for the day !

A man and a woman who have never met before find themselves in the same sleeping carriage of a train.

After the initial embarrassment, they both manage to get to sleep; the woman on the top bunk, the man on the lower.

In the middle of the night the woman leans over and says, "I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm awfully cold and I was wondering if you could possibly pass me another blanket."

The man leans out and with a glint in his eye said "I've got a better idea ... let's pretend we're married."

"Why not," giggles the woman.

"Good," he replies.

"Get your own blanket."

Hello everyone

Sending ((((hugs)))) to Jean and Rita, I wont hug Pauline I might put her back out again but I hope you are feeling better.

Went back to school lunchtimes last Tuesday, I was shattered by the end of the week.

Jean I enjoyed the horsetrials, didn't see many of the big names, a few pulled up before they got round the course. I didn't take my girl she's a bit small for those huge fences lol, and they would scare the life out of me too :-0

A Wee Chuckle for the day,

A policeman brought four boys before a judge.

"They were causing an awful lot of commotion at the zoo, your Honour," he said.

"Boys," said the judge sternly, "I never like to hear reports of juvenile delinquency.

Now I want each of you to tell me your name and what you were doing wrong."

"My name is George," said the first boy, "and I threw peanuts into the elephant pen."

"My name is Pete," said the second boy, "and I threw peanuts into the elephant pen."

"My name is Mike," said the third boy, "and I threw peanuts into the elephant pen."


"My name is Peanuts," said the fourth boy.
