Dear friends, some vibes please .. Update

[Ally]

Hope you get home safely Osc and much love being sent to both of you. xxx

[tonicha]

Just got home and so glad nothing too serious xx

And hope you have a good nights sleep xx

[Weka]

Oh gosh! Hope E is ok. An hour and a half for an ambulance?? Seriously??? A taxi would have been quicker. Wow. I'm pleased it didn't keep you waiting any longer.

Certainly not what you want, especially while abroad.
I hope the journey home was peaceful and uneventful

Hugs

That's London unfortunately Weka When my MiL had her funny turn last week the fast response ambulance was there in well under ten minutes.

Kaz its not London, its what they decide is urgent when you ring. My friends mum, the one who sadly died and left me the cat laid on her kitchen floor with a broken hip for over 3 hours. Because they didn't deem it urgent she had to wait. We all wonder whether laying on a cold floor contributed to the pneumonia that ultimately killed her

Shell, that is shocking!!!!

[Cal]

Only just came to this thread. So glad you will be home by now, and sending lots of vibes and good wishes to Mr Osc and yourself. xx

[Aggers]

My thoughts are with you both.

Hope things are better from now on.

[Kaz]

That's awful Shell and I'm so sorry It is well known however that getting an ambulance in Central London can take ages Link here They are pretty good around here.

Sorry Osc, for hijacking the thread Hope E is feeling a bit better this evening xxx

No problem, Kaz, it is interesting reading. I called 999 from the train, then the lovely guy in the station rang again about 45 minutes after that and was told that a more serious call had come in and our ambulance was redirected to that one so that is why we had to wait so long. Mr Osc was heard to mutter from the depths of the plastic bag he was holding in case of vomiting "should have told lies"
