a parcel from Scotland

Thank you all again for your supportive comments for Ray and myself.

Unfortunately he felt ill again very early yesterday, but fortunately the response to our call to 111 was the arrival of an ambulance with 3 paramedics (one a trainee paramedic) who took him to hospital.

After various tests, he was allowed to come home and our neighbour drove me to fetch him. (I was just a bit frazzled by all of this: bipolar does not sit well with shock/stress!)

So now it's a quiet time we sincerely hope.

Clare sent a surprise parcel of lovely goodies and Neil finds himself the go-between for downstairs-upstairs.

So sorry to hear about Ray, hope all is ok now. You have some loveky books to enjoy now.

[Babs]

Plenty for Ray to read here. Hope he is able to put his feet up and relax without any further hiccups.

[Susie]

Just catching up Hazel, so sorry to hear about Ray, hoping all is well now and you both get the chance to rest up. x

[Wylie]

fingers crossed he's up for a good read soon.

[wendy frost]

Hope Ray is feeling a lot better now and you are recovering too I know how stressful it can all be having been through it all many times. The paramedics told me never to hesitate to ring for an ambulance with heart and breathing problems. Enjoy your lovely parcel

[Denise Wood]

Sending virtual hugs to you both from Australia :)

[Casablanca]

Masses of love to you both and hopes for a period of calm and recover. At least you have a pile of good books to read!

[Merrelyn]

Sorry to hear about Ray. Hopefully you can both kick back and relax with a good book :)

[Issi Bannerman]

What a lovely parcel of goodies! I do hope all calms down in your household - you have a lot going on. Look after yourselves.

[Bep]

I hope all is okay now for you and Ray. I know how stressful this is: some months ago I had to call our emergency number because hubby didn't feel well. Heart and breathing problems. After four days in hospital he was allowed to go home.
Time for you to relax a bit and enjoy your books.

[Rosie Kind]

Sorry to hear about all the stresses in your lives and I hope that you can both relax with a good book

[Peter]

I do hope things are soon on the up and up for you both Hazel:)

[JackieR]

Thank goodness we have an NHS. It's stretched to capacity but in an emergency second to none. Call if I can be of use on a Tuesday. X

[Beryl Lloyd]

Thinking of you both and Neil - a stressful time - but lets hope with rest all will be in order soon - tale care ! :)

[Hazel]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond

Jackie, such a kind offer, thank you, which I will bear in mind. We have Neil here to help so hopefully we will be OK. He's just cooking the evening meal.

[Hazel]

@wendyfrost

I shall bear that piece of advice in mind as it's always difficult to know the moment to call or not to call emergency services.

[KWind]

Sorry you're having difficult times! I hope things improve!

[Jacqueline]

So sorry to hear that Ray went back to the hospital. Hope he is feeling better now. Take care of yourself too Hazel. x

[Pat Knowles]

All this is such a worry for you Hazel......I think having a pacemaker fitted is a bit of a trial & error time. Do hope from now on things go well & Ray & you get confidence that things will go well....he must be bpnervous if every twinge at the moment. A lovely pile of books & chocolate....good for daughters! It’s hard to pick up that phone & bring out an ambulance but I love the TV programme about Ambulances & always am reassured when they say better to be safe than sorry!

[gloria jones]

I'm glad Ray is home after his illness. And, I hope you're both doing well.

[Sharon Lee]

Best wishes for a speedy recovery

[FBailey]

Hope all is OK now:)

[Kerry McCarthy]

Wishing you and Ray less stressful times. Sorry for your worries and hoping they are all behind you. Sending all good thoughts your way.

[Richard Sayer]

My best wishes to the both of you... you'll get through this.

[Tunia McClure]

I hope you can find a little peace and quiet for yourself as you care for Ray.

[sarah]

Wishing you both better days - definitely you have some good escapes in those books

[Lois]

Sorry your going through these stressful days! Hoping for some peaceful hours to read one of these books!

[Sam]

Hoping Ray is feeling much better today Hazel :)

[Mandy]

Hope you are both settling down now and things are improving. It is always such a worry when our nearest and dearest are not well. I am sure he is in good hands and you must also look after yourself too. That is a lovely and thoughtful parcel. I am fingers and toes crossed for improving times for both of you.

[Hazel]

@mandygravil

Mandy thank you but please uncross your fingers and toes when necessary!

[Walks @ 7]

Prayers for some peace, calmness and no more excitement. Very glad that Ray is home.

[CC Folk]

Oh my, Hazel! How frightening to happen once...but twice?!? I hope this is the last time and that everything is calm and well. Take good care...both of you.
