Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2010 From: VirginiaTam Date: 21 Jan 10 - 02:31 PM Good Grief! Is the ward not scary enough without Mary's detritus spilling into it? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2010 From: gnu Date: 21 Jan 10 - 02:47 PM She has spilling detritus? Is she still contagious? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2010 From: SINSULL Date: 21 Jan 10 - 02:48 PM Detritus???? Detritus?????? This is a lifetime accumulation of prime HIDEOBILIA. Gifts from those who love me. Too bad the holidays are over. I have boxes and boxes of singing dancing flashing Christmas trees not to mention assorted obnoxious robotic Santas. Wonder what's in the Easter and Valentine's Day boxes????? |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2010 From: gnu Date: 21 Jan 10 - 04:48 PM Ohoh... it appears SINS still is contagious. Careful, peeps. I'll have a double dark and dirty on T's tab, Keep. 96 to go. What? We are not at the recovery tavern? This is a medical facility? Right. What kinda drugs can I get on T's tab? Anyone wanna trade scrips... I got a Zopiclone, a Celxa, a Tecta, a Nasonex, a Hydroxzine, a Cephalex, a Tylenol 3... I just don't use em. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2010 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 21 Jan 10 - 06:45 PM Tylenol 3 - is that like the Guildford 4 or the Maguire 7? Why, when I've done nothing for 2 days, am I so tired but can't sleep? And what the hell sort of glue do they use on ECG leads these days? I'm STILL covered in sticky grey sucker marks that are virtually impossible to get off without copious rubbing and a lot of baby oil... I've managed the wrists and one shoulder, it's the delicate bits under my left chesticle that's going to be trouble! LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2010 From: SINSULL Date: 22 Jan 10 - 08:32 AM MMario - I have a mosse and a turkey turd dispenser and an angel/waterfountain/music box complete with smiling lions, lambs, kittens and a donkey but no stigmata. Where did you find that? I am setting up emergency tents to house the incoming. Morticia needs a boost to get her bones knitting. Set up an IV of heavy cream, brandy and Anacin. Katlaughing needs some company and a rest. An IV of SunnyD, vodka and Prozac. Curmudgeon needs a miracle worker. Set up an IV of Laphroiag, Lourdes Water and strong coffee. Linn needs a god night's sleep kitty free. the lights, no IV, a stack of books, CDs, DVDs and assorted brandies. Spaw needs some preventative care. With all these sick people around he is bound to come down with something so set him up with the scotch on the rocks IV with cumidin and antibiotics. Back to work. I will check in later.

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2010 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 22 Jan 10 - 06:53 PM Oh dear... a bad evening... how can you get breathless and dizzy when you've been lying down for an hour? And I still have sticky marks on me, despite several washes, a shower and a soak in the tub.... I give up.. I'll leave them for next time. LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2010 From: Severn Date: 22 Jan 10 - 10:50 PM How can you get breathless and dizzy after lying down? Get up too fast. It's always worked for me.... Meanwhile, where is that cursed Native American orderly, Running Sore with my dinner, half of which, if I ate it, would kill a diabetic (cranberry juice and chocolate cake, indeed!) and my evening meds? I wonder if I could get him to send me up the beautiful and lovely (Sigh!)...and beautiful....(Did I say that already?) Nurse IntraVenus DeMilo to tuck me in, just to see how she'd manage to go about it..... |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2010 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 23 Jan 10 - 02:14 AM Sev, they send the pretty nurses round to the gentlemen of a certain maturity, so that the effect she has on them, means they don't roll out of bed. LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2010 From: GUEST,Nurse Ratched Date: 24 Jan 10 - 05:30 AM The post above has left me speechless. has some Chinese security agency deleted my post? is the very mudcat cyber space come under foreign attack? or am I too inept to press a submit button properly.. It can only be a cyber attack. Perhaps flagellating the weak is only for the strong, or for sociopaths. I have a bent sister, Nurse Wretched, who believes me to be safer when locked up. But patients, be assured I'm thinking of you. I hope that offers you some comfort. N.R. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2010 From: GUEST,Nurse Wretched Date: 24 Jan 10 - 05:37 AM Luckily, my good sister is out of town. She doesn't understand the strength of those who suffer. Indignity in itself is a form of understanding - for the many who undergo, in an ongoing way, the experience of crumbling physical health and the processes of maintenance and repair. There are those who suffer and those who, despite aching in those parts that used to play, dance on. And then there's tiger balm. I salute those in the recovery ward. Your crooked leg, raw wounds and slurred vision are my symphony. Here's to you and your out of time dance, it's a better dance than any preened quickstep. Keep on jigging. :-) N. Wr. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2010 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 24 Jan 10 - 05:53 PM 5 days and counting... still not got rid of the sticky marks, still not fully recovered from the ministrations of Nurse Ghengis who thougth that a good way to remove said leads from sticky pads was to give a short, sharp yank on all at once.... still not quite all there yet... Ho hum... LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2010 From: SINSULL Date: 25 Jan 10 - 08:08 AM Groan!!!! I am at work. I fell on the ice in my driveway this morning and thought if I go in and change into dry clothes I will stay home. So I crawled on my knees to a non-icy spot, got myself up and went to work. Nothing broken but more than one muscle wrenched. Can I please have a soft bed and a heating pad. I'll be good, I promise. I was so careful walking on the icy spots. Got to the dry driveway and discovered it was all black ice. I discovered it from three inches away, nose to the ground. Thank goodness I have strong bones. This was a hip cracker. Wonder if the neighbors saw but were laughing too hard to come out and help. Yeah - I laughed. I always laugh when someone falls. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2010 From: SINSULL Date: 25 Jan 10 - 11:43 AM This is the Recovery Ward not the tavern. I think I'm in shock. MAybe I have a concussion. I am cold, wet and dirty and more than a little cranky. sniff |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2010 From: jacqui.c Date: 25 Jan 10 - 12:13 PM You didn't mention that when you phoned! How are you now? I've done that myself in the past - very painful for the dignity, in addition to the physical hurt. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2010 From: SINSULL Date: 25 Jan 10 - 12:16 PM MOOAANNNNNNN! My ass hurts more than my pride. I will be hurting tomorrow when the stiff joints happen. Didn't hit my head but a real jolt to my entire left side. I hate black ice. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2010 From: VirginiaTam Date: 25 Jan 10 - 03:20 PM Do not do heating pad, Mary. You need hair of the dog .. ice packs to slow down the bruising and any swelling. If ice pack is too uncomfortable to sit on, wet down some hand towels and freeze them. They can then be moulded around the hurty parts. Also need to take pain killer i.e. ibuprofen to tylenol with codeine. No alcohol. Shall I play my meditation gong at you? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2010 From: SINSULL Date: 25 Jan 10 - 03:23 PM No alcohol????? And you want to GONG me???? I keep moving and it helps. Surprising how much my head and teeth hurt. Quite a jolt. No bruises so far. Checked my butt in the Ladies Room. LOL |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2010 From: maeve Date: 25 Jan 10 - 04:48 PM Mary- Arnica gel massaged gently over the sore area up to 4 times daily. You'd be amazed at the relief and reduction in bruising. maeve |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2010 From: SINSULL Date: 25 Jan 10 - 04:55 PM Thank you Maeve. I actually think I may have cracked a tooth. Fortunately, I have a cleaning scheduled for Wednesday Am so they can check it. More hurt than my pride I guess. LOL I still think it is hilariously funny when someone falls down. Go figure. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2010 From: gnu Date: 25 Jan 10 - 06:04 PM Well, you CAN have wine in this ward. The Chief of the Big Staff, Dr. Owens, PhD (Pile it Higher and Deeper) has deemed one of the original pain killers acceptable for moderate use within these confines. Just don't treat the nurses and attendants and orderlies like waiters unless you tip accordingly. Or you won't get tipsy. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2010 From: Severn Date: 25 Jan 10 - 10:36 PM SINSULL Sings De Blooze! With all that's happened to me in the last two years, I STILL can't sing 'em no matter how much I love 'em, no matter how much I try. So I still can't go around callin' myself Mojo Red, or the like, no matter how cool it sounds. I use humor to try to kill 'em off but sometimes you gotta settle for wounding and watching them twitch. Somethin' like watchin' someone fall, I guess..... I try and cry privately to myself and laugh aloud in here, but the end result is, Mary, if we both make our noises too loud, Nurse Rached will come sedate both of our asses in a hurry! I hope you feel better. Dr. D.K. Puller is the Ward's dentist, if you want the work done here.... |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2010 From: SINSULL Date: 26 Jan 10 - 09:48 AM Better today. No bruises. Nothing cracked or broken - don't know why. I went down hard. My lower back is hruting if I sit for any length of time. So I move and stretch much to co-workers amusement. I keep asking for someone to walk on my back. "Mary took her annual fall on the ice." is heard everywhere. HARUMOH. It's actually bi-annual. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2010 From: LilyFestre Date: 26 Jan 10 - 10:58 AM I'll walk on your back for a hug. I need one....even amongst all the silliness. Michelle |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2010 From: SINSULL Date: 26 Jan 10 - 12:01 PM Virtual hugs from here, Lily. Remember every day you are healing a bit more. A bit more of the anaesthesia is leaving your body. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< More from the right. I fell on my left. mary |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2010 From: Desert Dancer Date: 26 Jan 10 - 12:43 PM Got a spare bed for a case of shingles? Ouch. Chocolate, in small bites, I think. Plenty of fetching an carrying, too. I got to the doctor yesterday, as soon as possible after noticing the rash (which explained the two days of weird pain prior), so hopefully the horse-pill anti-viral and the lots of little steroid pills will kick it, but in the meantime I feel worse, not better... hard to get from the bed to the sofa this morning. (Pain on the left for me, too!) ~ Becky in Long Beach with astro this week s'posed to be back in Tucson with the boy next week... |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2010 From: SINSULL Date: 26 Jan 10 - 06:33 PM Shingles are miserable. Or should I say "is miserable"? Cool baking soda baths. So sorry. Lily I changed the sheets, freshened the flowers, set up a big screen TV so you can watch the GRAMMY festivities. White and red wines in the mini-fridge but they're in IV drip bags to fool Nurse you-know-who. Come in quietly through the back door and relax. No one will disturb you until you are ready for company. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2010 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 27 Jan 10 - 08:07 AM VT - get it sorted!!! I'm back on the sofa (when I'm not up here) today... think I overdid it yesterday, without realising. I just felt OK, and did what I usually do but without manhandling a huge keyboard into and out of the car - so I was taking it a bit easy... but today I'm tired and washed out, but any chance of resting is kyboshed by the apparently constant stream of workmen coming to the house - window cleaner, meter reader man (who was remarkably perky and cheery for 8.30am - even more than I was!) and postmen who can't read addresses... I've given up trying to sleep and am settling for 'supine'. That's a way of half sitting, half lying whilst not spilling your soup. Hope everyone is feeling better soon. LTS |
