The day has finally come, no longer on alternative duties/light duties, I am now on a full time rota on the ambulance, I am so excited and looking forward to my shift tonight. I am under no illusion that it will be easy out there. When I was told i will never go back to work on the ambulances after my heart surgeries and the complications that followed it made me more determined to do it. I believed in myself and my employees did too. The support of this group has been tremendous in my recovery, thank you and Happy New Year to all our hearties xx

Fantastic, hope you aren’t going to overdo it! What an amazing job you do, thank you from the bottom of my mended heart. Last March I fell trying to stop my fall, and crack out came head of my total hip replacement. Luckily phone on couch nearby, paramedics were here in 10 minutes. So kind, and first thing was a cannula and pain relief. They were just amazingly kind. I’d been on my way to the toilet, even sorted that out for me! One went to my bedroom and got all I needed for going into hospital!The journey there drove as carefully as poss, because of pain. The memory of that day not good, but helped by the likes of wonderful men and women like you Smudgebuttonjessie Thank you.
Great news ! You have inspired us. Sending best wishes and heartfelt blessings .
What a fantastic post. Congratulations and on the job you do.
Wishing you all the best xx
Thank you and your colleagues for all your hard work, above and beyond. What you have to put up with normally is hard enough without the current circumstances!! Appreciate your efforts!! Take care. Moni
Well done you, Fantastic. The perfect example of absolutely making the most of what OHS has given you AND displaying the importance of a really positive can do attitude.
How did it go? Hopefully as well or better than hoped. Remember to recharge on your days off.
