What made me happy today...

[ComaChameleon]

Hey guys.

In one of my old forums I was a member of (not existing anymore since this year), we had a thread where everybody just told in short what made them happy this day. Thought it would be nice for here too!

To start: I'm working for EMS and my first call today was am expected birth. So we hoped we would be able to bring her into hospital just in time. But it didn't work. I was at the patient and she just said "it's coming"... My team-mate was driving REALLY fast, it took him about an kilometer to brake - during that time the baby was just born. Even we were a really young team and not long into job, we did VERY well and even the doctors told us we did excellent.

(Our last call was a reanimation on the street, the woman did not get an own circulation again.... But I guess that's the circle of life :D)

My son just called me - always bucks me up to hear his voice - he was calling from home

He was informed by Emma his wife about Marty - Alex is not on Facebook

My lad offered to pay the £260 for me. I am feeling heavy today and wasn't looking forward to going on the bus to my bank in Keighley asking for a temporary extension to my overdraft - the thought of the journey was creasing me

Alex kindly has transferred the money to my account - I shall pay him back in full - they have a hefty mortgage

I have in the past given him money for him to do stuff or buy stuff for when he was alone in rented accommodation in Leeds, before he met Emma via World Of Warcraft

A bit of a lump in my throat

Lovely Lad that he is. 

Vet has just rung ... Marty does NOT have feline leukaemia or feline AIDS

Urine culture now off to the the lab ... this will show if he has an infection ... if so then it could be treated with antibiotics ... I can pay for this without compromising my good nature at the bank 

Please someone tell me if I am going on un-necessarily about Marty and me

Lovely lad indeed!
Well done Alex for looking out for you and Marty.
You are most definitely NOT going on about a very loved member of your family @Anonymous. Please continue to do so!
Out of interest, have they checked for urine crystals? One of ours had that and went completely off food/drink until they were treated. A small change to his water (using a filter jug) seemed to fix although it meant he was more prone to them after.

Thank you @gmarkj 

I don't know if Marty has been checked for urine crystals

The urine sample that was taken yesterday is off to the lab to see if they can grow something - then maybe antibiotics

Thank you for the tip of using a water filter

We used one for us when we lived in the Stoke-on-Trent area - just could not make a decent cuppa then.

Parents spend years getting their kids out of scrapes.. Isn’t it nice when they do the same..
It also proves that you didn’t do a bad job dragging them up either 😉

And as for your pussy.. everyone likes hearing about it! So keep us up to date!

(I know lots of couples that met through WoW, good to know it happens elsewhere too)

Good news @Anonymous Pleased to hear Marty has nothing life threatening.  Good of Alex  to help with the vet fee. One of my cats Riffraff, used to suffer with urinary infections. I used bottled water for him. This was years ago though.

All good news then @Anonymous and well done Alex for looking out for you 😊

I was happy as hell when my collegue took over the "key" and pager this morning as we were on the roll all night long plus overhours. 

And tomorrow I'm on dayshift again. My body is confused...

Shift patterns can be changed - 2Days, 2Off, 2Nights, 2O, 3D, 3O, 3N, 3O - if the workplace permits, much better than 4D, 2O, 4N, 4O, 2D, 4O.

@pgn 

Can't be as you only work with temporary staff (students from the university) - we're only 3 fully employed paramedics, so we have to take the shifts the students doesnt want...

That's why we want to leave ..

Went to a kidney specialist today to be told that they believe that my kidney issue is only a minor problem, reassuring me that it's nothing sinister and nothing that I should worry myself over too much 😀
