Hoping you're feeling completely refreshed and this little episode hasn't interfered with you ability to enjoy Scotland.<br />Oh, and I've always found Air New Zealand to be one of the best airlines out there.

I turn my back to blogland for a mere few days, and look what happens!!<br />Good job you did not succeed in killing yourself with exhaustion and lack of sleep.<br />This post is, by the way, very touching. I shall now go away from the computer and do something else for a while, and have a very good think while I'm at it.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-495553397518653924.post-2134443004434010462012-05-07T11:15:15.797+12:002012-05-07T11:15:15.797+12:00Goodness, so glad to hear that all ended OK.

So very glad you are able to blog about it and are not confined to hospital with a failing heart. Looking forward to your return to Lewis and hearing all about the 'doings' there in your absence. <br />Happy you are okay and hope you will be even better tomorrow.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11791018174075586241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-495553397518653924.post-54087371858170653162012-05-05T06:33:41.474+12:002012-05-05T06:33:41.474+12:00What happened to my comment here, I wonder.

I didn't dare suggest it! ;) Please do take care of yourself and write the words REST and SLEEP into your busy calendar every now and then. I'm very thankful too that you got such good care from the staff on the plane, and the hospital etc. ♥ to you! /M.DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-495553397518653924.post-61486077924155666372012-05-05T02:42:50.161+12:002012-05-05T02:42:50.161+12:00Oh yes Kay G.

Ta...Well, you do have something to be grateful for.<br />Take a deep breath and relax. Easy to say, I know. Happy that it was something you could learn a lesson from, and change your busy ways (as much as possible anyway!)<br />Slow down (funny that Spesh says Slow UP! But it means the same!)Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-495553397518653924.post-84813893576686451682012-05-04T20:45:07.362+12:002012-05-04T20:45:07.362+12:00Phew! no wonder you feel grateful.

You might have been on a solitary ramble in the mountains, I suppose. I must say that in general I am pretty impressed by emergency services on the thankfully rare occasions I have to deal with them. It sounds as if you are okay now, (and what a relief it's not your heart) but i agree with Spesh 1 - do TAKE IT EASY!!! <br /><br />Hope the sight of the weather in Britain doesn't make you feel ill again, or at least wish you'd stayed in NZ for another few weeks. :)Jenny Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881781466502273314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-495553397518653924.post-40165847673551309912012-05-04T20:38:44.940+12:002012-05-04T20:38:44.940+12:00I know you never will Graham - but SLOW UP!

So, very well done all concerned that they not only sorted you out quickly and well but that they did it in such a kind manner. <br /><br />My brother's a bit special so I'm awfully grateful that folk took such care of him!Scriptor Senexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17795521284516432520noreply@blogger.com
