Somebody two stalls down from me in the men's !avatory just dropped their cars phone in the toilet and now I have to listen to him sing "Fathom The Bowl" to the rhythm of a plunger.

Lovely, just lovely.....

You started it.
Come all you poor fellows who sadly do store
Your phone in the pocket your wallet is for
And down in the toilet I must chase my goal
Just give me a plunger, I'll fathom the bowl

My bunny is a stuffed bunny that got chocolate smeared on it. But a chocolate bunny (not hollow!) would be nice if someone were to drop one behind the comfy chair.

I know, "not the comfy chair!"

There's a stray pitbull hanging around our end of the block; I suspect he was dumped. It's shy but looks pleasant enough. I think we need an animal mascot who needs a warm bed to sleep on. "Rocky" (he needs to be neutered) would like to hang out with all of you for a while.

Checking back in after a few months away. Still trying to cope with escalating hearing loss, but being very well supported by local Council initiatives: attending lipreading classes and a course for "Managing your Hearing Loss". All free, as are any aids such as flashing doorbell, TV listening aids, and more.

The bruised knee is getting better, I am walking longer distances and can return my borrowed cane (Mine mutinied someplace). It's one thing after another, but I am determined to outlast them all.

A few months ago, I thought I had seen my armless and disarming ex therapy nurse and ex-girlfriend Inter-Venus DeMilo pass my door while I was confined to my bed. She had been walking with Aaron Boyes, one of the orderlies. Recently, I thought I'd caught another glimpse of her in the hall.

Last heard from, after differences with Nurse Ratched, she had transferred across town to Our Lady Of The Inconceivable Conception. I finally ran into Aaron Boyes and he told me that who I had seen was her sister Arterielle, who was now working here in Hematology. I told him if he saw her again, to tell her to come visit me here in the ward. I haven't heard from her yet......

I managed to stay out of trouble during Christmas,
as was my intent,
but the Mudcat Cafe itself
took several days to recover, this past week.

I wonder if the Mudcat was in a ward
with wardmates/ other beds.

Wherever the Mudcat spent those days,
it wasn't where I was,
because I hunted for the Mudcat that whole time
and could not find it ...

Although he is recovering,

or if he managed to avoid the place.

This from X-Ray Tex.

It looks like some of the inhabitants of the recovery room who were mobile took to walking up and down the corridors loudly caroling for Christmas, and as they went down the halls past Radiology, managed to annoy and interrupt Nurse Ratched and X-Ray Ted, who were going hard and heavy at it in room 316 and apparently our head nurse (a position for which X-Ray Ted can gladly vouch) has vowed revenge on the Ward.

I don't know which Jones said of you were out singing, but the grace period where she was so busy that she left us alone apparently is now at an end. I hope the planned Ward New Years bash will Not be cancelled.....

Keberoxu,

I would think you would find it re-warding..

Stilly,

I guess The Wordy Shipmates couldn't be written by somebody of Welsh descent because there was one to many Vowells involved, even if there's one too many consonants in Vowell.....

I won't bother with the NYC celebratu. I have seen too many balls dropped watching the Washington Redskins of late....

Better luck next year fo!ks, waking up in anew thread trying to figure how you got your old bed in a new thread to there without morning coffee yet....The only thing threadening a out it would be the return of Nurse Ratched on the inside and DonLd Trump and "You Brexit, you bought it on the outside.

It's a sick wor!d outside, which is why some people and I am of our number will stay and malinger here as long as the benefits hold up....

Planning ahead for my own Mudcat Recovery Ward annex. I just finished reading the booklet to do with knee replacement surgery. I'll tell you, wearing out your joints isn't something to do lightly, when they're replaced the recovery period sounds like it was designed with Nurse Ratched in mind.

Stilly River Sage, just to reassure you a bit, a dear friend had BOTH knee joints replaced simultaneously (most unusual, as they normally do one at a time)
She found it slightly painful afterwards while the 'work' was healing, but nothing too unbearable. The physio encouraged her to flex and move the knees as soon as she could, to prevent adhesions.

After she was discharged from hospital, I went to her house and stayed for a few nights to help her get to the loo etc, as she had no family for support, and I was quite surprised at how soon she was getting about.
Now she never shuts up about how great it is to be able to whizz around pain-free, and tells everyone never to fear the op.

The knee is easier than the hip to do, bears less stress or complication and feels surprisingly normal after PT.

Based on Stillys activity level wearing out a self healing organic knee
means that a synthetic knee will be challenged.
Choose a tough one when the time comes.
