Er, we posted photos of the East Mids one! Just saying!!

Brunette10 Sat 29-Sep-18 10:37:50

Glad to hear you are fine today. Just have an easy day and try and put yesterday's experience to the back of your head and forget. Put your feet up.

Grammaretto Sat 29-Sep-18 10:00:09

We were at the foot of liberton brae
Marelli I'd got on at the bus station so it was 20 mins into the journey. I was feeling hot and nauseous. It was a packed bus but the next thing I knew a nurse who happened to be on the bus was holding my hand, taking my pulse and comforting me. She had taken charge and stopped the bus and called an ambulance.
What an exciting, if embarrassing, day!

How frightening Grammaretto. I hope you are much better this morning.

Jane10 Sat 29-Sep-18 08:59:09

Just too much excitement Grammaretto? Gransnet lunches can be dangerous places. grin
Rotten end to the day though. Hope you're feeling better today.

Marelli Sat 29-Sep-18 08:49:30

Grammaretto, that must've been awful for you. Had you been on the bus long when you took ill? Hope you're feeling much better now.
Take it easy today. ?

Brunette10 Sat 29-Sep-18 08:10:40

My goodness Grammaretto that's not so good at all. You must have got quite a shock. Hope everything is ok now and that you managed a good night's sleep. Have an easy day and try to relax and get better. Take Care.

Thank you very much for organising another enjoyable Edinburgh meet-up Elizabeth1
Lovely food, company and venue. Roll on the next one!

Hope you have recovered from your horrible experience grammaretto.

Glad you arrived home safely in the end marydoll. Good to have brunette10's help to fight our way onto the commuter train.

Marydoll Sat 29-Sep-18 07:52:01

How are you feeling this morning Grammaretto?

Elizabeth1 Sat 29-Sep-18 07:51:59

So very sorry Grammaretto to hear you fainted on you way home yesterday. Hope you are well today please take good care of yourself.

I had a lovely time yesterday with many interesting people from such a variety of locations and backgrounds. The time just flew in.

Here’s to the next gathering smile

Grammaretto Sat 29-Sep-18 07:46:50

Thank you? it was horrible but I was very well looked after and given a thorough MOT.
The episode was called a vasovagal syncope.
Friday night at the ERI is like being in an episode of Casualty.
I got home to my own bed eventually.

Jangran99 Fri 28-Sep-18 23:25:32

Relieved to hear you are recovered Grammaretto, but that must have been very unpleasant.?

Marydoll Fri 28-Sep-18 23:24:38

Oh my goodness Gramaretto! What a terrible thing to happen! I hope you are ok, now!
Take care. flowers

Grammaretto Fri 28-Sep-18 23:20:24

Thanks Eliz1 for the organising and good company. What a lot we have in common besides age and gender..
I feel I met a few more of you. Hi Brunette!!
I'm only just home because I had an extra adventure. I took ill on the bus home and fainted. An ambulance was called and I have been in a&e all evening.
I am fine now. I hope everyone else is ok.

MissAdventure Fri 28-Sep-18 23:20:03

Oh I would love to, as a really love Scotland.
It felt like 'coming home' each time I went.
Its 400 odd miles away from me though.
I'll be there in spirit!

Marydoll Fri 28-Sep-18 23:18:28

MissA, distance no object. It was quicker for. Old Goat to come from York to Edinburgh than it did for me to get from Glasgow to Edinburgh.☺️

Jangran99 Fri 28-Sep-18 23:15:10

Elegran Fri 28-Sep-18 23:08:41
