ANOTHER HELICOPTER MOMENT

I really need a break we fall from crisis to crisis at the moment and I am not sure how I am holding up to be honest!... Steve went for his final selection for the Army on Tuesday, after doing really well in all his exams and long interviews, weeks away being assessed and fitness for the Army, its been a long process. He has done really well up to now. I dropped him to the station on Tuesday morning after setting Andy to work on up lifting the concrete base in the shower, pete got the sand for them, then saw Dale the kitchen man, who advised me it was going to be late, had a mad panic call from Steve his zip had broke on his trousers and we had minutes until the train left to Pirbright, sorted that , broke the speed of sound getting to the station. He had a long 6 hour lonely trip on the train and had to call a NCO when he got there to collect him and take him to the base, alot to do at 16!... got back to see to computer man and set kitchen fitters to work, then the kitchen arrived and lorry could nt get to us, so I had to put it all in my truck and bring it up to Buttercup, whilst dealing with computer issues every 10 mins.... finally got sorted. I heard from steve at 11am then no more, so I was a little concerned, He had his medical on the Wednesday and we know a lot of people get deferred for silly reasons. Well didnt think it would happen to steve, but at 5.30 we got a call to say they had found a heart murmur, high blood pressure and they put on the sheet family history of heart disease which is nonsense. SO I now have to prove no history and get him to a hospital to have the murmur checked out if there is one, a fasting lipid profile and a 24 hour monitor all by next friday. I have begged and promised money to all and sundry to help me get these tests done, its been the worst week of my life right now. Havent slept as on the phone constantly trying to arrange everything, he had the blood test this morning, the private hospital are doing a 24 hour on Tuesday and hope to get results back , we are in derriford on wednesday for a heart thing and I have to get the doctor to write a letter, if you know how things work with medical and doctors non of the above are going to go smoothly, I will let you know!... Any way after this phone call at 5.30 at night asking if Steve can have permission to travel home as it was late for a minor to be on a train, I gave my permission as I dont think he could have handled another night up there, I kept in touch on the train to check exactly where he was and which changes he had madde so I knew if something went wrong i could find him.... After being on the internet and then texting where next to change and times and platforms, it was a REALLY relaxing night!... Then the last text i got from him was can i meet him early at bodmin as train running late, I replied but I didnt know if he got it as the phone was dead, so now I had to get in the car and do far faster than a car should go to get to bodmin before the train to grab him before he sailed on by at midnight.... I got to bodmin just as a train was pulling in, so I raced across to it and shouted at the man is this the train from plymouth, he looked at me like I was a martian and pointed to the other platform....my left and right had gone out the window....so then I waited the other side and grabbed steve off the train... I was panicking by then, but all sorted now. So its a bit of a pickle here right now, plus work has problems with some jobs, normal stuff, we have Buttercup ripped out and are trying to renovate it, Xmas is coming and really I could do with a week off!!!!I am sure I will hold up...happy days!
