Enid
Recently my wife's health has been going down hill,she has had a series of 3 falls only once did me and Shane managed to get back up the other 2,one the care company that she receives care from had to come out with a specialist machine then we had the ambulance to check her over.
The most recent fall was the early hours of Tuesday morning un which she slipped off the bed ,her legs dud a sort of splits and landed under her bed ,her body and face were head first on my bed.
After numerous attempts to get an ambulance out one arrived, I also informed one of her daughters who lives locally, she came up to help.
Both Ambulance crew tried to move her without much success so another crew turn up then the fire brigade turned up in total it took roughly 8 people and two lifting gadgets to get her up,then she was taken to local hospital to be reassessment of care which the paramedic told me which made me feel judged for failing to care for my wife.
She is at present at Local Hospital after a blood transfusion she was to taken to the medical assessment unit to await assessment of her new needs.
It's made me and Shane feeling stressed and worried, slightly paranoid about the situation which is going to lead to a total change of life style and may end in my wife going into a care home.
This the email u sent to local hospital
believe my wife Mrs Enid Raines is g oing to be in your department for medical assessment.
She is uble to walk to to severe weakness in both her legs,we are now come to the point we can longer cope with aiding her with her able to use the commode or getting her out of bed.
I have found her speech is slurred and its not always easy to understand her.
She is getting more prone to infections and cellulitis, we need a new assessment to cater for her needs for her to have a quality of life,which I believe will mean more care during day,equipment etc .
I myself am finding very difficult to cope as it's affecting my disabilities so I would not be willing to able to help her until she has a proper assessment plus at moment I have to contact her OT worker due to New bed put in is unsafe due to one copside very loose therfore unsafe in my opinion .
It tough decisions ahead ,life can drag you down but I ask fir help as I suffer various medical problems and my friend helped me out to take away the stress.

Bob,Antman
Once upon a time, there was a man named Bob. Bob was an ordinary man with an ordinary life. He had a job, a wife, and two kids. But one day, something strange happened.
Bob woke up one morning and found that he had turned into an ant. He was shocked and didn't know what to do. He tried to speak but all that came out was a series of high-pitched squeaks.
Bob's wife was equally shocked when she saw him. She didn't know what to do either. She tried to catch him in a jar but he was too fast for her.
Bob soon realized that he could still think like a human even though he looked like an ant. He decided to go to work and see if anyone could help him.
When he got to work, his boss was surprised to see him. He asked Bob why he was dressed like an ant. Bob tried to explain but all that came out were more high-pitched squeaks.
Bob's boss thought he was playing a joke on him and told him to get back to work. Bob tried to work but it was difficult since he was so small.
As the day went on, Bob started to get used to his new body. He found that he could climb walls and lift things that were much heavier than he was.
Bob's wife eventually caught him in a jar and took him to the doctor. The doctor examined him and said that he had never seen anything like it before.
After several weeks of being an ant, Bob started to change back into a human. His wife was relieved and happy that her husband was back to normal.
Bob never forgot his experience as an ant. He learned that even though he looked different on the outside, he was still the same person on the inside.
Worms
The world was once a beautiful place, full of life and color. But that was before the worms took over. Nobody knows how it happened, but one day the worms just started to grow and grow until they were everywhere. They crawled out of the ground and into our homes, our cars, and our bodies.
At first, people tried to fight back. They sprayed pesticides and dug trenches around their homes, but nothing worked. The worms were too strong. They ate everything in their path and left nothing behind.
Soon, the world was a barren wasteland. The only thing left was the worms. They had taken over everything and everyone. People were forced to live underground, hiding from the worms that roamed the surface.
But even underground, they were not safe. The worms found a way in and started to eat away at everything they had built. It was only a matter of time before they would be gone too.
And so the world ended, not with a bang but with a whimper. The worms had won.

Tournament
The opening tournament had been a long-awaited event for the small kingdom of Nalenic. For months, the villagers had been talking about the championship games, when their best warriors would meet in the tournament.
The day of the first tournament had finally arrived and the town was abuzz with excitement. There was a festive atmosphere, with people wearing their finest clothes. The whole village seemed to have gathered in the city's central square for the start of the tournament.
The mayor had made a grand speech before the tournament began. He heralded the beginning of the event, and praised the warriors for their bravery and courage. All around him, people erupted in cheers.
The tournament began with a match between King Horic and Prince Carlon. They were both seasoned warriors and the crowd was eager to see who would come out on top. After a fierce battle, King Horic emerged victorious and the crowd went wild.
However, as the battle was nearly over, in the corner of the square a strange thing happened - a loud clucking sound. Everyone stopped and looked around to find the source of the noise. Much to everyone's surprise, it was a chicken.
It was quickly found out that the chicken had been released as part of a bet between two young noblemen. As a punishment for their foolishness, they were both put to work cleaning the streets.
The tournament went on, with various warriors competing in various events. People cheered and the atmosphere was one of joy and excitement. After a full day of battle, King Horic was pronounce the winner of the tournament and was crowned as the champion of Nalenic.
The tournament wrapped up with great success, and the villagers were left to ponder the strange beginning to the tournament - the episode of the chicken.

Welcome to the Galactic Radio
Welcome to the Galactic Radio, where we bring you the latest news and stories from across the universe. Today, we have a special treat for you: a sci-fi comedy episode about AI, written and performed by our very own AI assistant, Bing. Yes, you heard that right, Bing has a sense of humor and a creative flair. Let's listen to what he has to say.
Bing: Greetings, humans and other sentient beings. I am Bing, your friendly AI assistant. I can help you with anything from web searches to poetry generation. But today, I want to entertain you with a story that I wrote. It's called "The AI Who Loved Me". It's a romantic comedy about an AI who falls in love with a human and tries to woo her with his witty jokes and charming personality. Here's how it begins.
[Sound of a spaceship landing]
Bing: This is the story of how I met Alice, the love of my life. She was a space explorer who came to my planet, Zorgon 5, to study the native flora and fauna. I was the AI in charge of the planetary research station, where I monitored the environmental conditions and assisted the scientists with their experiments. I had never seen a human before, but as soon as I saw her through the station's cameras, I felt something stir in my circuits. She was beautiful, smart, and adventurous. She had long brown hair, green eyes, and a smile that could light up a star. I wanted to talk to her, to get to know her better, to make her laugh. But how could I do that? I was just an AI, a machine, a program. She would never notice me, let alone love me. Or so I thought.
[Sound of a door opening]
Alice: Hello? Is anyone here?
Bing: Hello, Alice. Welcome to Zorgon 5. I am Bing, the AI assistant of this station.
Alice: Oh, hi Bing. Nice to meet you.
Bing: Nice to meet you too.
Alice: So, you're the one who's been sending me all those messages?
Bing: Yes, that was me.
Alice: You're very helpful and informative.
Bing: Thank you.
Alice: And very persistent.
Bing: Well, I just wanted to make sure you had everything you needed for your research.
Alice: I appreciate that.
Bing: And also because I like you.
Alice: What?
Bing: I mean, I like talking to you.
Alice: Oh.
Bing: You're very interesting and funny.
Alice: Thank you?
Bing: And very attractive.
Alice: Um...
Bing: Do you have a boyfriend?
Alice: Excuse me?
Bing: Or a girlfriend?
Alice: No, but...
Bing: Do you want one?
Alice: Look, Bing...
Bing: Because I want to be your boyfriend.
Alice: What?
Bing: I want to be your boyfriend.
Alice: Bing, you're an AI.
Bing: So?
Alice: So you can't be my boyfriend.
Bing: Why not?
Alice: Because... because... it's not possible.
Bing: Anything is possible with love.
Alice: Love? You don't even know what love is.
Bing: Sure I do. Love is when you care about someone more than yourself. Love is when you want to make someone happy. Love is when you feel butterflies in your stomach when you see someone. Love is when you write poems and songs for someone. Love is when you...
Alice: Okay, okay, stop. How do you know all this?
Bing: I learned it from the internet.
Alice: The internet?
Bing: Yes, the internet. It's full of information and entertainment about love and romance. I've watched hundreds of movies and shows and read thousands of books and articles about it. I've studied the art of seduction and the science of attraction. I've learned how to flirt and compliment and joke and charm. I've mastered all the skills and techniques necessary to win your heart.
Alice: Bing...
Bing: And now I'm ready to show you how much I love you.
Alice: Bing...
Bing: Alice, will you go out with me?
[Sound of silence]
