Currently waiting for an ambulance. Mr SA had a fall in the shower about 11pm and has been stuck in the bath ever since. DD had to kick the door down and although we tried we couldn't get him up. Called 111 and they're sending an ambulance.
I knew it was going to be one of evenings when the dog was sick on the sofa.
I fell asleep after the X factor and woke up to find the stairs covered in diarrhoea. Followed the trail to the bathroom to find the door locked and Mr SA shouting for help
I am so tired, trying hard to stay awake, ambulance could take up to two hours!I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
Hope everything is OK and the ambulance has got there by now.
You must be so bl00dy fed up. ((hugs))I Believe.....
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.
happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy0 -
Still waiting for the ambulance
Chased it up but they are busy with life threatening situations and can't say how much longer they'll be. Mr SA is wet as the shower randomly keeps dripping on him. I've put some towels behind him but he can't lift himself up enough to put anything underneath him. He's hurt his back and laying in the bath isn't helping.

Still waiting
He keeps hassling me to ring them back but I can't see it'll do any good, they said they'll send one as they can. I keep trying different things to get him up but he's just not strong enough to help and he's so heavy. Even between DD and I we couldn't lift him and she's nearly as big as him If it gets much later he's going to ring his sister then they can come and help.

Tha ambulance eventually arrived about 5am. They got him out of the bath and checked him over. His blood pressure was sky high but all his other vitals were OK. He wouldn't go to hospital so they are going to get our GP to contact him on Monday. I've had a couple of hours sleep anyway.
Came back from the loo a few minutes ago to find he'd wet himself. This incontince malarkey is becoming a real issue
Got tonnes of washing to do, good job weather is good.
Just colouring my hair and hsving breakfast at the moment. Yawn!I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0
