Oh, there you are!

Who put the brakes on the work?

44M - Has an hypoxic brain injury with paraplegia from a heroin OD and while transferring from the wheelchair to his bed in the aged care home he slipped to the floor. With only a single staff member on at night we attended and put him to bed as he had not injured himself.

74F - Hospital to hospital transfer, cerebral haemorrhage for further treatment.

28M - Been out celebrating his birthday and gets blind. A taxi drops him on the footpath and his lovely girlfriend (who was at home) struggles for the next hour to get him up the stairs into the apartment block and only makes it to the second floor of the three storey building and you know which their apartment was on, before he just stops even half arsed helping.
Ambowife would have got a blanket and pillow and left me there but she rings triple zero (911 or 999 for you readers overseas). He's not much of a size and she was amazed by how easily we move him, amazing what a finger hidden in the arm pit and a wedgey will do. Left in the care of someone sober and responsible with instruction for care.

19M - Might have real mental health issues or may also just be attention seeking, not my call.

What a shockingly slow night.

See you at the big One.
