Subject: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: gnu Date: 27 Apr 06 - 09:38 AM Some might say John 'Giok' MacKenzie is not a hip 'Cat. But, he is a man of great humility and introspection. And, he is a man of action. Realizing this, Dear John has embarked this very day on a journey of self-renewal to the Institution of Raigmore where he will, indeed, get hip. The surgery shall be performed tomorrow and G will be in hospital for about five days, if the staff don't let him out early for bad behaviour. Get well reel soon, in jig time, as it were, G! Miss ya already. g |

Subject: RE: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 27 Apr 06 - 10:23 AM I agree - get back here as soon as possible. One of my friends has a very new hip, tho hers took a tad longer to work properly as she had to get the residue from a broken ankle sorted out before she could be back dancing. sandra |
Subject: RE: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: Bill D Date: 27 Apr 06 - 10:26 AM Hip, and please...NO trampoline practice for awhile. |
Subject: RE: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: Rapparee Date: 27 Apr 06 - 10:27 AM Man, that's not what I meant when I said, "Get yourself a joint!" Don't listen to them! You stay in there with women waiting on you hand and foot for months or longer! Just don't tell 'em you're well and you'll be okay. (See if they can get you a full bar and some Internet connections, okay?) |
Subject: RE: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: catspaw49 Date: 27 Apr 06 - 10:32 AM That golden liquid in the bag by the bew ain't beer.......Don't drink it.

Subject: RE: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: gnu Date: 27 Apr 06 - 10:42 AM Rapper dancing? You meant "rapier"? As in Highland Sword Dances, right? |
Subject: RE: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: SINSULL Date: 27 Apr 06 - 10:51 AM Giok, Make sure you blue pencil what they are supposed to do. Won't do to have you running around with augmented breasts. Take care! SINS |

Subject: RE: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: The Shambles Date: 27 Apr 06 - 11:24 AM I hope everything goes well. It sometimes seems as if you and I were joined at the hip. *Smiles* All the best Roger. |
Subject: RE: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: manitas_at_work Date: 27 Apr 06 - 11:27 AM Gnu, no I meant rapper dancing. It's been discussed here before. Not at all like Highland Sword Dancing. |

Subject: RE: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: jacqui.c Date: 27 Apr 06 - 12:09 PM All the best Giok. My daughter's mother-in-law had this done in the New Year and is recovering well. We'll look forward to seeing the new improved Giok when we come to visit in June. As for the morris dancing, if that happens you could do worse than follow SINSULL's example and use a couple of bras instead of hankies.......... Just make sure you ask permission from their owners before taking them off! |
Subject: RE: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: Ebbie Date: 27 Apr 06 - 12:11 PM Good timing, Giok. Lounge around in the sun in the lazy daze of summer, get lots of singing and playing in. I wish you the best of good fortune with your new hipness. |

Subject: RE: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: SINSULL Date: 27 Apr 06 - 02:05 PM I don't want to upset you just before your surgery, Giok, BUT a tiny package has arrived at my door which I believe belongs to you. I see a resemblance in the eyes and the kilt. Awfully cute but as yet untrained. Shall I send it on? Or roast it for dinner? SINS |
Subject: RE: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: MBSLynne Date: 27 Apr 06 - 02:14 PM Get well soon Giok! And don't give the poor nurses TOO much trouble!! Love Lynne |

Subject: RE: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: Dead Horse Date: 27 Apr 06 - 03:58 PM If they do put his legs back on the wrong way round, he will be able to kneel in church AND pick his toes at the same time! Giok, DO NOT SETTLE FOR PLASTIC !!! Insist on stainless steel. It dont tend to melt when ye sit next to the fire..... |

Subject: RE: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: Tannywheeler Date: 27 Apr 06 - 11:41 PM Watch the painkillers. Find something effective, but the first ones they prescribed for me when my arm broke turned my innards into concrete. Took me a week to fix that prob. Go easy on the rehab exercises. Don't get so enthusiastic you hurt yourself. Get as "up-and-around" as you want, but gently. Live and be well. Tw |
