    Just heard from ambulance control and he’s been escalated to a priority below people unconscious. Hopefully they’ll be here soon. 

    No way am I going to the office today, I’ve only had a couple of hours sleep. Will do half a day WFH.

    Still no sign of the ambulance. He’s starting to get distressed now. 6 hours he’s been stuck in the bath.

    Omg I didn’t really he was actually stuck in the bath. I’m not surprised he distressed. That’s a terrible time to wait, he’s lucky he has you with him x

    You can’t disturb a sleeping kitten…it’s the law! Enjoy your cuddle. 
    Was it G.K. Chesterton who cut a coat in half rather than disturb a sleeping cat?! What use the coat was after that I'm not sure ....

    Just read about Mr SA.  Hope you're OK; quite right to work short hours today if at all.  Hugs SA love Humdinger xx

    So sorry to hear about Mr SA. I hope he And you get some help very soon. I should forget work for today as I dont think you will be fit to do anything.
    When they do arrive and get him out make sure they check for the start of pressure sores - it is a long time on a hard surface.

    They're taking him into hospital for a check over as his blood pressure is dangerously high and they're concerned about pressure sores. 

    I've just logged on to work to cancel my meetings and do a quick job then I'm logging off for the rest of the day. I'll be going to the hospital later. I could've gone in the ambulance but I need to sort the dog out and get showered/dressed.

    What a day!
