It's the little things that count..



OK so the toilet paper here is not exactly what you'd call soft, but I was somewhat impressed to find that you could press a button above the toilet roll and get "Not Ruff" paper delivered by a team of doctors pushing a crash cart! That was until I discovered it wasn't a spelling mistake, but that "Notruf" is German for Emergency!

Would have been a good yarn had it been true.. But I did get the full turnout of doctors and nurses racing to my room in under 10 seconds this morning when I unplugged the phone cord and set off the notruf alarm. They were very good about it.. there I was sitting on my bed holding a cable in one hand, laptop in the other, looking very sheepish.

I have the big meeting with the docs in a few minutes, plus some ECG tests and an ultrasound.. shall post the results soon.

Oh I agree with Asheigh on this one, how often have we needed this service, Ummmm perhaps it's another entrepenurial business idea?.....on second thoughts, don't think so really, might leave that one for someone else.
