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)

I know Steve. Cancellation of operation is gut wrenching...(though obviously I can see both sides) but it doesn't make it any easier for any patient...:smileysad:

Now possibly Tuesday but not definite. I wouldn't believe them if they said definitely Tuesday. Feel totally let down after 3 months in Thailand and nearly 6 weeks here.

You would be right not to believe them if they said definitely Tuesday @jonsie. Your theatre slot is always going to depend on any major emergency admitted on the Monday night.
I am in no doubt that your surgery has been deferred since the terror attack in Manchester when every hospital in the region went on standby to receive casualties....then those most badly injured would have been transferred to other trauma units . Salford took in the region of 30+ patients who went to theatre as soon as possible (This then had a knock on effect on all those on the waiting list for surgery at Salford for 2/52 after the attack) I know this explanation wont help you to feel less disappointed and depressed but I am just trying to put it into perspective for you. Salford MUST have planned to do your operation otherwise they would not have transferred you. All that said...I am really gutted for you

Incidentally I have just seen this :
Hospital TV firm refuses to waive bills for Arena attack victims
I'm not sure exactly where I stand on this. On the one hand I sympathise with the victims but I find myself in the same boat, laid up in hospital through the fault of a third party, just as much a victim.
All kids really should get free TV no matter what the circumstances or the reason for hospitalisation but I kind of agree with Hospedia that if you make exceptions for one then you need to consider everyone's circumstances and that just won't work as a business plan.
Seeing my son & daughter-in-law in Leeds today made me very happy ... :womanvery-happy: ...their honeymoon pics & vids in USA
The red stone & expanding skies of the national parks in Utah ... Yosemite national park ... redwood trees + General Sherman biggest / roundest / oldest tree there attt The Romans were in GB ... Golden Gate bridge, usually in fog ... Alcatraz ... San Diego was the city they liked the most ... they both had a go at shooting with a variety of arms on video ... they will go back to USA, to Yellowstone National Park & are keeping their coins for the next time
I didn't mention my request for a silver dollar ... on the way back to the train station they de-toured home ... = ... as I got out of the car Emma presented me with a redwood box & a silver dollar inside ... happy me ... the kids are good people ... & ... a pleasure to be with
