Had an awful day today,well week really after the terrible events in the US, today I realised just how thin the line is between life and death!
Just after 12pm this lunchtime one of my staff, a great guy by the name of Ian had a seizure, he's a big guy over 6'5 and 27 stone.
he hit the floor with a fair bang, as we tried to help him he swallowed his tounge and started to choke, we called the paramedic's, he then stopped breathing, we had to get him breathing again, but his jaw was locked, had to use a wooden spoon to get it open.
Luckily we all have had good 1st aid training, we got him to breath again, 10 min later it was like it never happened, we had him away to hospital for checks, and he's fine.
It really shook me up that's the first time I've nearly lost a member of my team, hopefully it will be the last, thank God that we got the big lad going again.
Tonight I wish I did drink and I'd get well plastered but instead I'll just share this one with you guys...........
