After a nice lunch out, Toni got a call saying that Leanne was bringing Gail back from Bexhill and they needed to call an ambulance on their return to take Gail to the hospital.
Toni and I whizzed over and waited for Gail and Leanne. Once the bag was packed I went to King's Hospital in the ambulance with Gail and Toni drove Leanne afterwards as they had to sort a couple of things out first.
It was an interesting ride in the ambulance. Various dashes with blues and twos blaring and the odd probing question from Gail as to whether or not I planned to marry Toni all paled into insignificance with what happened next.
We had almost reached King's when there was lots of banging on the side of the ambulance. We heard voices saying there was a man laying on the pavement with blood all over his face. The crew decided Gail was stable enough for the moment and went outside to attend to the guy on the pavement. It was then decided that they would stick him in the passenger seat and take him with us to A&E! Most unorthodox!
Once we'd got to King's it transpired that our pick up had actually escaped from A&E and had collapsed not far from there. Seems he'd bailed out 6 times in the last 12 hours! LMFAO
After this excitement it was down to the hospital nitty gritty!
Whilst various tests were being done and chest x-ray taken we enjoyed the delights of the family room..... What's wrong with this picture?
.....the answer is:
DOH!
On a positive note Gail is stable and although she is being kept in overnight she doesn't seem to be as bad she was when she was admitted five weeks ago.
She certainly wasn't backwards in releasing unwanted 'air' much to our delight although I did find a way to combat this:
After four and a half hours Gail was finally move to a ward so that they could start dialysis and we left her in the hands of the nurses and doctors.
Oh what a night!
