    Even if it's first thing in the morning, and you're head isn't still on quite right because you've not any tea, here's a great tip:

    If you have to phone a hospital and your partner's despairing, DON'T entirely forget the weight of the situation once you've had a good report, put the phone down and go to make your partner a consolatory coffee, only to find there's none in the fridge or the house - then go to her and, meaning something entirely innocuous (because you're a stupid fucking half-asleep moron) state in grim terms "things have just gotten a lot worse, my love", then as she bursts into tears very quickly realise wtf you absolutely weren't referring to[you dumb cunt]. Just don't.

    It's my nature to try and make very shit jokes no matter how bad a situation is, but man.. sometimes I really should run them through my head before I open my mouth.
