    Sorry to hear about your rellie, beanie, always hard when someone's in hospital.  I'm glad you're warm and toasty in the house, hope you don't have to trek out much.

    Thanks. 
    Their procedure went well. 
    All a bit of a worry when it’s an emergency situation.

    Shocking part of story.
    They were allocated a blue light ambulance but were advised because it was extremely busy it could well take a few hours for ambulance to arrive  :(
    Alternative arrangements were made(by family) which very well may have saved their life  :(
