Esta you are quite right - I apologise for chipping in - it was knee jerk reaction - as Dawnie said, I thought same old stuff, here we go again, I'll try and keep out of it

edit - I have deleted it but am glad Buttercupfields appreciated it!

no matter how hard things get at home andwith my near family I try and make a joke of things and laugh at it all and try and remember there is always someone worse off than me.
may have a disability and no money but I have three wonderful children who yes with their health problems can be very trying but netherless are wonderful and a husband who I adore and is my world and looks after me in more ways than money could buy.


RR asked hubby about the wine and he said what this bottle that was drunk last week asked where my share was and apparently he did keep asking if I wanted some every meal time but I refused none of which I can remember so must of been out of it on painkillers just as well I didnt say yes isnt it.

i think its strange you have given her a reply when i came on here last year it was some other named person giving abuse out so you always gonna get some one on here giving it out she is entitled to her opinion ... but she not entitled to a reply lol

Lol at Elizabeth. I love your definition of an 'Amy' being put among us so we would all feel better and nicer! Nice one!

Dawnie, we all know you are an honest and classy woman and it is so lovely to hear you being thankful for your lovely family, in spite of the pain you are suffering.

Wish I could wave a wand:-))

Not sure I would trust your wand waving lol

not so sure on the classy bit though.

Hope you had a good Christmas andNew year with plenty of baileys. Heres hoping 2011 is a good one for you xx

I agree with you Julie, but she made me cross and I couldn't help myself. I usually ignore. Dawnie is obviously a lovely, brave lady and she doesn't need hassle from the likes of this unimportant person, whoever he/she may be. Probably the same person you mention from last year, but different name.

Well said, Elizabeth - I think you're right!

Dawnie, is there no way you can get a stair lift through social services or something? It would save you so much effort and risk.

I don't know why everyone replies to Amy's comments, if you just ignore the upsetting or blunt ones then there is no feed back for her.
I have to say recently that she made a comment on one thread that was completely sensible and relevant and I agreed with her, can't recall which thread now.
Sometimes I wonder is she is just the sort of person who has a blunt way of speaking her mind, my cousin is like that and could be offensive except I am used to her ways.

Anyway hope none of us need ambulances this year, and can stay well as possible.

I have known ambulances having to be called for elderly people who fall and their partner/carer can't lift them up so the ambulance has to come so the staff can lift the person properly. Obviously they assess them too in case of injury but often it's just a case of them being too heavy and unable to help themselves so needing professionals to do the lifting.

a couple of years ago after Nan died we could of had her stair lift but steve was apprehensive because the children were young and Laddo would cause problems with it just the way he is with his Autism never know what he will do next.
Will just have to spend a lot of time either upstairs or downtairs and not use stairs lol can pull sofa bed out and sleep down here when thing are bad and got toilet down here so isnt so bad.

Dawnie, I hope you are well today, and the tiddlers.
Just a point I should have added before. In this area, if a Paramedic is called by me, and has to administer intravenus Morphine, he has to call an ambulance to take me to hospital. I am okey if I adminster my own liquid Morphine. I have never had any problems.
All the Best, take care

Excuse me ...if I may .....

But I thought this thread was about calling 999 NOT about what AMY is saying

Just to lower the tone a bit, a few years back we went to some friends' for Sunday lunch, who lived in a three storey, cramped house. The sitting room was in the basement, accessed by an open pine staircase. Needless to say I fell down the stairs before I'd had even a drop, and I landed on one leg, leaving a nasty deep gash, but with the glass of red wine in my hand completely unspilled. Miracle!

We patched up the leg, I drank the wine and we had a nice day. A couple of days later we went camping in the South of France where I was careful in the sea and wore one of those ooze-sucking plasters by day. A fortnight later we came home and I went to see my doctor who said if I had come the day of the accident he would have put stitches in my leg!!!

Well phooey, the leg is great and the scar is really small.

End of story!

Helen
thats my girl not spilling a drop lol

!!!! I know, that was all I was worried about! Glad you're ok anyway. xx

my brother was a paramedic and his advice was, if in doubt always dial 999 and they will always asess as necessary.What is the matter with this Amy person?
my mum always said if you cant say anything nice, dont say anything at all
Ann.

Hello Dawnie...gawd hope you are ok now?? That must have been very frightening!!

As far as l know we don't have anything like that here. The last time l dialled 999 was in May for my brother - in - law. l had phoned the docs first and they said phone the ambulance. He and my oh had capsized in a canoe, b i l went into shock, which l would think you would have suffered too.

You take care now:o))

It appears that Amy has deleted her unkind post with regard to the bottle of wine, so I have deleted mine.

Deleted nothing , must of been the RR pushers that dont like it lol ... shame lol

Jude
hope BiL is ok now .
Im ok just waiting for xray department report to getto drs to see if A&E missed a crack as still cant walk on it properly hubby did predict 4 weeks till I was normal again (well as normal as can be) so on hi prediction only a week to go lol

Thank you rita that is very useful to know.

Yes, Rita, that is useful to know. I'm fortunate not to have had the need to call an ambulance, but this thread has been very informative and I feel forearmed now, should the possibility arise in the future.
