Evening all
One of the "pump" DSNs rang to say a pump has arrived and they think it's mine :roll: The one who does the orders is away. So until they know for sure, they've offered me a loan pump, either just to "play with" or to pump saline. I've chosen the saline, in the circumstances I think it's worth taking the chance of a "hands on" trial. I can get the hang of set changes without the added stress of going high if it takes ages the first time... and it's better than just waiting for something to happen! (Half-unit adjustments now seem soooooo inflexible!) Hopefully they won't want me using up sets pumping saline indefinitely, so that'll encourage them to chase up my order, if by any chance what's arrived isn't mine (maybe they were just stocking up with purple Veo's cos they're going to be this year's must-have cool Christmas gift :lol: )
Having resigned myself to weeks of waiting till the DSN got back, read her mail, chased the order and checked her diary, I'm now fizzing with anticipation. Again!
Turned a very frustrating day at work into something special. Just had to share.
I start with the saline next Tuesday morning
