The bloke collapsing in DKH Sainsbury's this afternoon...

[rendelharris]

...was me. Nothing much to worry about, part of a long-term chronic illness with which I won't bore you. Usually I can anticipate if a collapse is coming on and get to safety accordingly, but for some reason this one came on more or less out of the blue.

Now, unfortunately in the process of going down I must have bumped my noggin on a shelf or the floor (certainly feels like it from the bump, and have spent the last four hours or so in A&E to check for a bleed on the brain (isn't one, I'm pleased to say!). Subsequently I don't remember anything until I came to in the ambulance: the ambulance staff told me that Sainsbury's staff and members of the public had done sterling work in looking after me until they arrived. I will of course be writing to Sainsbury's, the ambulance service and A&E with my thanks but if you were one of those members of the public, thank you so much for your efforts, they are much appreciated, even if I wasn't quite in a position to show it at the time!

All the best,

Rendel

Many thanks singalto, much appreciated. Worse things happen at sea!

[titch juicy]

Very glad you're ok.

Irrespective of the pre-existing condition, I imagine it must've been quite frightening.

[Mystic Mog]

Glad you're ok, wishing you all the best.

[Bermy]

So glad to hear that you're back on your feet, Mr Harris!

My wife and I were very concerned to see you so shaken in Sainbury's - but very impressed with the professional and personal attention you received by the Ambulance and Sainsbury's staff - it looked like you were in safe hands.

Sending you our very best wishes.

[rendelharris]

Many thanks again all, you're very kind.

Bermy, sorry you and Mrs.B had to see it - I know from experience it's far worse for the onlookers than for me, I may have looked bad but I can't remember any of it. Everyone was brilliant though.

xx

[Mick Mac]

Glad you are ok. Nice thought too, to thank everyone.

[rendelharris]

Thanks Mick. They thoroughly deserve their thanks, in a funny sort of way, though I'd rather it hadn't happened, the whole business has rather cheered me up with its multiple examples of how kind people can be.

[Alan Medic]

Good to hear you didn't injure yourself with the bang on the noggin and you were well looked after.

[lavender27]

I am glad you're alright Rendal, my best wishes, I hope you take it easy for as long as is needed.

All the best

Glad to here that, all the best.

Our old Swansea striker Bafetimbi Gomis had something which meant he could collapse on the pitch and when it happened it scared everybody.

[rendelharris]

Thanks again all, you're very kind xx

[red devil]

What everyone else has said, also good to know Sainsbo's are on the case...

[keyhole]

[peckham_ryu]

did you get any blood on the nearby products, and is it too late to find them in the discount section?

Stay well :)

[????]

Glad to hear you are Ok RH - always good how people help out in general too!

[Seabag]

Blimey RH, nothing by halves for you. Glad to hear you've been taken care of so well.

Thanks to all involved. I've generally found the good people of the manor do take care of others.

[Earl Aelfheah]

What everyone has already said - glad you're OK. Sending you good vibes over the interweb ~~vibes~~

[adonirum]

Sorry to hear of this, RH, and glad to know you're okay.

Look forward to resuming our jousting when you're fully recovered.

[rendelharris]

I honestly did just want to say thank you to those who were in Sainsbury's, but it's really nice to see how many good people there are on the EDF as well! xx

Crikey, just seen this, glad you are OK rendelharris xx

OK, you've got some (undisclosed) medical condition, so just rejoice in the fact that it couldn't have happened in a better place. Lots of people aound, ompetent management etc, etc...

If it's potentially terminal do you wear a medic alert bracelet that advises medics what you are suffering from?

Why make the post in the first place? Are you an attention seeker?

[Sue]

Oh charming.

[Mystic Mog]

Windrush, more to the point why make your post?
