So I took the rest of the day off
and we milled over everything we’d heard and learned that day....this is now
scary and we’ve still got weeks to go.....Friday night and all is well, a few
twinges and a little blood loss but nothing too much....Saturday arrives and
it’s much the same, only today is Eurovision and we all know what that
means....Yep a festival of xxxx ...................
So picture the scene my wife on
the bed in some discomfort and I’m not talking about the TV...I’m
ironing....yes men do iron....it was a case of having too as I was down to my
last clean and ironed shirt.... head down, tail up....couldn’t even tell you
who won or lost or whether we got nil points again....
Wife still in a lot of discomfort
and getting more and more anxious as the evening progressed, the bags were
packed for another night in hospital just in case....and thank goodness they
were.....
Through bouts of bleeding and
broken sleep, my wife had a very disturbed night...however....at 2am Sunday
morning all hell broke loose....my wife is sat on the toilet in absolute hell,
the pain was unbearable and there was nothing that could be done, the bleeding
had intensified...Well I say nothing could be done....I dialled the emergency
services and within 5 minutes the whole street was lit up by the Ambulance
Service. Although didn’t know who needed the “Gas & Air” more my wife or
the paramedic who just carried his entire car boot up to the loft and forgot
the “Gas & Air”....So it’s more tests etc and off to hospital we go....only
this time my wife in the back of an ambulance and I’m tearing down our road in
front of them whilst they turn around...the joys of a cul-de-sac....
On go the lights, the neighbours
curtains twitching, and we’re off....mile and a half in 2 minutes, I pulled
over, and let the ambulance past and the rapid responder followed me, so there
I am in the middle of a blue light fest.....my stereo cranked up to the top
waking up the entire neighbourhood with sounds of Pink Floyd...the track of
course had the immortal line “we’re just two lost souls swimming in a goldfish
bowl!”
So dear readers, I’ll leave you
with that thought but not “Wish you were here.....”
