That's really kind - thank you ❤

My dad is awesome. He climbed Snowdon for his 80th birthday and raised a couple of grand for the ICU mum was on. I mean, he has no idea how to pay a bill or Internet banking but he's fab! 

Please do read up on it

S - slurred speech or confusion

E - extreme muscle pain or cramps

P - passing no urine all day 

S - severe breathlessness 

I - imagining you are going to die 

S - Skin colour changes (mottling, rash, extreme redness)

Mum went from talking to my son on the phone at 4pm completely coherent - she just felt like she had a bit of indigestion to start with. By 6pm she was unresponsive. I live 80 miles away and by the time I got there (the ambulance still hadn't arrived) she had a temperature of over 40, a blood pressure so low I couldn't get a reading, a heart rate so fast I couldn't count her pulse as it was too fast for me to keep up, and a respiratory rate of around 50 breaths a minute - she was undoubtedly about to arrest. It honestly can happen THAT fast and, despite being a nurse for 20 odd years, I was totally unaware of exactly HOW fast it could happen. The more likely cause was biliary sepsis. We think her bile duct was full of sludge and became infected which entered her blood stream. She was too unstable to go through the CT scanner though for a more indepth look

I'll keep bleating about it and telling her story even if it just raises a tiny bit of awareness 

I definitely will read up on it, I had no idea about any of it to be honest especially about how quickly it can develop that’s pretty terrifying. It must’ve been awful for you all, keep telling her story though and hopefully some good can come from this. ❤️

Don't post on here often, but read it every day. Can't sit by and watch @Ozanne getting picked on for doing little other than make a polite 'point of order' request without my saying something. F

Obviously horrible news. But I think pointing the finger at Rayner is not only unfair to her, but also serves to help silence critics of the Tories. Don't forget that over the years, BJ's words h

Oh dear. Centre Parcs are closing for the day 

 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-62893476

They have just retracted it because it was a bit ridiculous

I mean, I get asking people who are there from Fri - Mon to leave by 10am Monday

I get those there from Mon - Fri now getting a portion refunded and are arriving Tuesday instead 

Those there Fri to Fri were being asked to leave Monday at 10am and come back Tuesday which is just a whole load of a logistical nightmare for many 

I got back from Centre Parcs on Friday after taking my dad for a few days. I'd have been really disappointed if I was due to go Monday but fuming if I had already been there 3 days and then expected to leave and come back 24 hours later

Think they've realised this was going to turn out to be a bit of a PR nightmare. They've basically said those there Fri to Fri can stay but with no activities etc open on Monday

Honestly? Its all a bit shit really but we will get there. I'm an only child and my son is an only child and the 4 of us were ridiculously close. Now it's me, Dad and Joe and the balance doesn't quite seem right anymore. My dad is amazing though. He's 80, still working and had spent the last 4 months holding my hand and drying my tears whilst trying to hold back his own ❤

70 just seems so young and dying from sepsis so preventable in the vast majority of cases. I'm "lucky" (and I use that for lack of a better word). Sepsis was recognised really quickly, treatment started swiftly and she had amazing care for the 8 days that she put up the fight of her life on ICU. Some battles just cant be won though. I don't have the overwhelming anger so many families in our situation have because it was recognised too late and for that I'm thankful 

Sorry - this is completely off topic. It's World Sepsis Day today though. My mum was one of 11 million annual global deaths. Please all ask 'Could this be sepsis?' if you or a loved becomes unwell. In health care we miss it too often or we diagnose it too late. I wouldn't wish this on anyone 

Sorry to hear about your mum. I lost mine last year too and it was fucking shit, but it sounds like you were a lot closer than we were.

Sending love to you and your family.

Gap closing

 

Considering everything that’s gone on in the first week that’s not a great honeymoon period bounce for Trust. I’d reckon Labour aren’t devastated by this.

Everything has been put on hold.

It has but there’s still been a National incident and the cost of living package along with a new PM you’d expect to see a bounce.

So you’re happy continuing under the Tory leadership?

No I'm not happy with the Tories at all, but am also not happy with the way Labour are heading.

My totally unrealistic dream is to see the Green Party in power.

People seem to be taking advantage of the extra bank holiday, that's for sure. 

Sunday night we've gone from not quite half full, to just a couple of rooms shy of completely full. And we'll sell them before Sunday. 

 

 

I'm kind of against this bank holiday at short notice, for a lot of people it's a pain in the bum. I am going to do some work out of protest.
