Best wishes for a speedy recovery

Jenners is a rabbit warren of a place. Sadly I am not surprised at what has happened, but I am saddened none the less.

We can only hope that they all make full recovery’s.
Best wishes to each and every one of them, and their families.

There are some nasty images now appearing on social media. My best wishes to every one of them.

Sad news, hope they all make a full recovery, both mentally and physically.

Sad news, hope they all make a full recovery, both mentally and physically.

And talking of the mental side noisy, that may affect others who attended this incident, or who were close to those injured. I know what it’s like to be badly injured, and I also know what it’s like for a mate to be injured. But for most time is a great healer, hopefully they and others will all get through this, and no doubt with the support they will need.

Hopefully Bill, firefighters today have more support to deal with the mental aspect of the job, than we did when we joined and in the early days of our careers. One of the things in engineering and construction, is the acceptance that men suffer with mental health problems and they’re being encouraged to seek assistance either in the workplace or from medical professionals. Some companies are actually sending their managers on training courses, either to help individuals directly or give guidance on where to get the best help, which is a massive step forward.

I would hope so noisy, my support amounted an SDO visiting me in hospital asking me when I would be back at work. Changed days now though.
