Re: 999 Ambulance.
I had a virus which made my throat burn up for 5 days my voice became just a whisper nothing stopped the burning. On the 5th night I was in bed and my throat started to close up and I couldn't breath in a panic I called 999 I could only croak and whisper my name and address . Told to open the front door I cant remember getting down the stairs and the ambulance arrived . The two young men calmed me and after looking into my throat I was told it was a good thing I'd had my tonsils out as a child as that was the opening that I was breathing through as my throat was so swollen. They didnt want to leave me at home but I didn't want to go to hospital so they rang a friend who came for the night .I just panicked and I guess needed reassurance and after being given something to reduce the pain and swelling I settled for the night . Days later I was fine but it was very scarey alone

...I wonder what caused the swelling?I would hate to ever have to experience that, not being able to breath through your airways.

Re: 999 Ambulance.
Yes, a heart attack when driving at 70mph in the outside lane on a motorway!Extremely worrying, as might be imagined!
However, I lived to tell this tale and would have been very annoyed had I not done so.
Also twice before that following motorcycle accidents, me versus cars and as usual I lost.
Not many lives left now, I reckon they are probably all used up!

Crikey,Baz, did you actually know you were having a heart attack?....down a motorway?....good grief!
You were also lucky that you survived those two motorcycle accidents, they usually end up fatal!.
