A lot of Mums must have been happy.

It was Mother's Day today here in Australia and by the amount of work around most mum's got a well behaved visit from their family's.

Our son got a text message at 0630 to remind him to call his mum and I rang mine in between jobs around 0930.

63M/F - Fall related minor injuries but unsure of the reason for the fall I went a seizure route.

89F - Doesn't use her walking stick because she's worried that she will trip over it, might have saved her from tripping on some uneven pavement. No injuries luckily so we escorted her home and made her a cup of tea.

25M - Booze and some Benzo's 9 hours ago???? so what, of course he's drowsy. The authority that our voice and commands carry amazed his friends who ???? couldn't wake him. He declined the transport offer. I was happy with that.

29F - Been on a bender (vanilla essence) not a common intoxicant and both my partner and the triage nurse didn't believe me that it was about 35% proof. Transport for mental health as well as detox.

62M - From a country town via Air Ambulance for some CABGs.

36M - Punched to the face twice and feels funny. Funny alright, by the time I'd finished assessing that he was uninjured the Police had reviewed the CCTV and he was looking like he started something he couldn't finish and was crying foul! Left in the tender mercies of the long arm of the law.

And that was my Mother's Day.
Beat my Father's Day won't be busier.

See you at the big One.
