HAPPY NEW WEEK!
I hope everyone has a week of joyful, serene summer days.
I posted a couple of replies at the end of last week's thread. I read with interest all of your news throughout the week, and I apologize for not replying to everyone. I've been ill this week, and I haven't accomplished much of anything. Sorry, folks, for this negative start to the thread. I usually try to write a positive post.
Have a good week, all.
LINDA – I hope you have no delayed aches, bruising, etc. Dear Friend, please be careful – that is not the sort of trip I want to hear about. Thank goodness your OH was nearby.
LYNETTE – Sorry to hear you have been in hospital. I hope the waiting is not too long for your knee.
ANNETTE – I agree – who has time to think when they fall!
DIANE – I’m not sure how bad is “Code purple” but it sounds bad.
Our metro hospitals have had “Code White” declared about twice a week recently. That means there are no beds available for patients admitted to emergency. What do further patients do? Oh, they are “ramped” ie they wait in ambulance outside hospital. . . thus ambulances not available for emergencies and so it goes on.
I have been sitting in the sun in the bay window preparing to sew buttonhole band on to my cardigan. Temp is a balmy 14 C. Perfect for OH’s walk but he is snoozing in his TV chair (stiff neck to come).
Pat - How kind of you to loan your borrowed cardigan. I can't stand being cold & would have had to find someone warm to hug! At least you say you're enjoying the experience, apart from the cuisine. AQ -- Thank you - I'm usually ultra careful but it only takes a split second to make an unwise decision. My OH says he's now reviewing the position of the step so that we don't fill cans & then have to climb down from where we have the water butt and the tap.
We also have the problem of ambulances having to wait to put their patients into the care of the hospital and there not being enough teams or ambulances to go out to new calls. Its dire.
