yesterday i thought i was going to lose my daughter in child birth ,she was having her first child and things went a bit wrong after the birth and she had to be operated on a 2nd time , all night long we were waiting on that dreaded call .this morning the call was from my daughter she'd pulled through thank god .so to anyone who's going through tough times i hope this helps. we went through hell but her poor husband was like someone from the dead, like us his whole world was falling apart again i thank god and the hospital staff for their wonderfull work , they are in my prayers . so a happy and wonderfully successfull one to all punters today , may your luck be as good as mine.god bless.

Dan Chipowski said he wasnt your biggest fan workrider,i'd go a step further than that.I think you are a pure dope and a tossser with it.Now i do not wish your daughter or child any ill fortune,how could i,i dont even know either.Nor for that matter do i wish yourself any harm.After all all i can do is gauge your character from your stupid posts.
The thing that has me flummuxed is that 99 % of your cyberfriends dont know who you are,they dont know for a fact that you even have a daughter yet here they are giving you their best wishes.This is almost like one of those RIP threads where these**s are posting about somebody who died whom they never knew or never met.Offerings of good wishes or condolences should surely be kept within a circle of people who know each other and finally a public forum with a pseudo username is no place to make public a situation like this

Im not jealous of this person after all i dont know anything about him or her or who they are or where they come from.All i can say with certainty is that the posts that come under the workrider banner are usually trash.If i genuinely had a daughter in this situation would i really be tempted to rush to the keyboard to tell my cybermates first thing in the morning.One thing that is certain that most of the people who replied to the initial post do not know**rider whatsoever.They cannot say whether he has a daughter or not,they cannot say for certain whether he is 18 or 80,whether he is male or maybe it is even a she.Viva Las vegas,just because my username suggests so how do you know im from Galway,maybe im from somewhere else completely.

For a story that you say is probably not real and from someone or something that you have no time for and is only out in cyberspace anyway you seem to have an unhealthy obsession with it.

Nothing of any interest in your real world then?

Wasnt going to respond Galway but Jesus man, how you never had anyone close to you sick? Or in hospital? Things change in a matter of minutes. Docs told me and my family my Grandad would pass away when he ordered them to take him off life support after a heart op (long story).. he got through it and everything changed in a matter of hours. Hes back home now and I appreciate more every time I get to sit down, have a cup of tea and a chat with him.

Bottom line is no matter whether you know the person or not, weve all been there or will be there at some stage in our lifes, and its nice to see things go someones way and they pull through.

Great news workrider and good luck to her, you and the rest of the family.
