Updates

Sorry for the lack of updates but my latest project which combines these pages in a trilogy has begun to rule... although there's not much to say other that this are going well!!!!

Sorry there's been no Dad's Diary for a while...just been busy with a new project..... be back soon!!!

Is there every a happy ending

Happily there was, despite loosing such a precious gift, my other half survived and after much more heartache, medical intervention and councelling we went on to have a beautiful daughter who will be 1 in a couple of weeks and has just begin to crawl and walk aided....time to baby proof the house and lock up my instruments....

Having been through what we've been through I can only say that despite being almost middle-aged or nearing 20 depending on how you view your 40's and losing my job so near to the festive season amongst other things you are never to old to have children and enjoy life all over again....Yes, we'll never forget what has happened, all the heartache, pain, suffering etc but as one great philosopher once said..."What can't kill you, makes you stronger"

Gold fish and all that.....

And so we go on.....

OK so where were we...oh yes blood everywhere my daughter still born at 19 weeks and 1 day and my wife still pumping blood like a fire engine....Consultant's called and withing minutes he's assessed the situation and calling form a trauma team.....no b****Y anesthetist, surely there's more than one in the hospital...next thing we're running, nee sprinting to the nearest OR some two floors above us in another building...lifts corridors, lifts and stairs stand between us and saving the woman I love so much.......... 

We make it and then I'm shut out...sorry no family allowed in OR....four hours later in a scene from something like ER my wife is saved having had 8 yes eight pints of blood/saline put back into her....by this time I'm pulling what little hair I had out at the frustration of not knowing what was going on and living on a diet of hospital coffee and mars bars and I don't even like the darn things..... 

Sorry guys have to be more next time, painful.....

Things go wrong like buses, none for ages then two...

OK so our precious daughter as born and lost..........but the more pressing thing was that my wife was losing blood like nothing on earth and fading fast....something had to be done....

Hot stuff...

Read in the paper  a few days ago that 55 is the new start of middle age rather than 40....hey that means I'm still young!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
