Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2011
Still in the Burns Unit. Every night is Burns Night until Nurse Hurty Gertie says "Goodnight Gracie!" and turn off the light.

Good news from X-Ray Ted, who says my cancer is still in remission. I ordered Maryland Cream Of Crab Soup to celebrate. My friends bring me in food, because they still can't get the diabetic diet regimen right and keep trying to kill me while the docs try to cure me. That's sweet of them to keep trying to give me sugar, but I keep telling them that love is a very Splenda'd thing. They must think that artificial sweetness is for airline hostesses, God bless their well meaning hearts. And the idea of being served Swiss Charred doesn't sound too appetizing to us in the ward, either.

The burns ARE getting better under the compression shirt, hugs don't hurt any more, but it still hurts and there's lots of PT Torture Stretches, Pain pills, other pills and creams. I just got another cream to put on my knees to go with the other seperate ones for feet burn areas etc. I use more creams than some ladies I know.

Whoops! They caught me in the computer room after curfew and Gertie's orderlier are escorting me back to my bed.

More stuff later......
