2 Doctors surgeries and one Ambulance😱
Doc's no problems, my daughter anti-natal, and our's to pick up our prescriptions so no drama's there..
But Les went out at 8pm to walk the dogs.... At 9.30pm after trying a couple of times to get hold of him on his mobile, decided to go out a look for him, just as I was leaving my daughters BF dropped her home... They had come the other way, so hadn't seen Les.. So she decided that she would walk down the road to look for him!
Just as she about to leave her BF rang said I'm on my way back to pick you up, Les is around the corner having a hypo!😱 I grabbed my keys, locked up. my son and I followed behind with my car.. They were just lifting him onto a stretcher to get him into the ambulance as I pulled up..
He was lucky tonight, as several cars stopped to help him, One chap held onto Ellie and Jones, why others tried to sort him, called the ambulance out, put coats under him, to get him off the wet ground as best they could!
Thankfully, this crew when I said I was Les's wife, said to go into the ambulance... And treatment started, they went for a Glucose drip which was a weird set up indeed, BP monitor etc... Les did take a long time to go from 1 into the top 2's.. So it was decided to give more glucose, then because we lived around the corner, take the ambulance up to house, hoping that his BG would be up enough, so I could fetch him a banana sandwich and a glass of milk.. Monitor him for a bit in the ambulance to ensure he was stable!
As we were waiting to for another 5 mins, before moving the ambulance up to our house, I looked through the front window of the ambulance and my car's gone😱 I had assumed Flo and Simon was waiting in the car with Ellie and Jones what I hadn't realised is that Simon had decided to take Ellie and Jones home, and Flo had phoned Danni (my oldest daughter) so her and her partner could come down, and move my car as I kinda of hadn't parked it that well😱
Then I sat in the front of the ambulance so that I could show them where we lived, then it was another 30-40 minutes of monitoring in the ambulance before they said, fine and that he could stay home and not be admitted!
One of the cars that stopped was a Taxi driver, so we've phoned the firm to say Les is fine, and can they thank him very much for stopping etc... And and we going to pop a tin of biscuits down as a thanks for their coffee breaks!
Good thing was, that Ellie and Jones allowed everybody to help Les without complaint! And must take a brave person to lend a hand, when they are faced with a German Shepherd!
Mind you Simon Said it took ages to get them both home, even though home was 3 minutes away, as Jones got so far up the road, and plonked his bottom and wouldn't move!
