I made a batch of gut-friendly oatmeal with minced up figs for extra calcium. Dish up a bowl with a modest amount of honey or brown sugar, topped with organic milk. I'm a tea drinker but I don't believe I've ever had a crumpet.

Walks quietly past the curtained area where Jessup friends and family have gathered, and hums along with the song someone is singing to soothe all.

What a lovely idea keberoxu! I too have noticed the number of folk on Mudcat who have been ill, are ill at the moment or have problems in their lives.
Here in UK, January is a difficult month - dark, dreary and Christmas is over and done with.

In the Mudcat Tavern, as SRS says, there's a lovely place for quiet rest and recovery. The Old Lady and the Smiling African Man are still around, so come and sit on the huge sofa for a while and have a little chat, make use of a listening ear or have a refreshing doze by the log fire.

If your state of health allows you to have buttered crumpets and a nice pot of tea, the Old Lady will put the kettle on and serve you. African Man is excellent at toasting crumpets!

Nurse Ratched nailed the door shut on her side - the route into the recovery ward is through the coat closet from the Mudcat Tavern - the one to the left of the bar. I see you struggled mightily with a pry bar to loosen all of the nails she put in the door through the frame. You have a couple of splinters. If I were you I'd quietly tiptoe over to the first aid cabinet and clean and cover them with Polysporin and bandaids yourself - Ratched is famous for using stinging iodine on wounds.

In the continued absence of Mudcatter Liz the Squeak, and a few others,
there have been several years with no Mudcat Recovery Ward.
In fact, since newbie me joined, I don't think there has been one.
The only Recovery Wards I have encountered on the Mudcat, have been threads that went to sleep.

Look, I'm not wishing ill health or misfortune on anybody.
'Specially not on me!!!

But having said that ...
maybe we should have a place for Mudcatters
who are shocked and stunned by such events as
obit threads that occur in clusters, so help me.
Is it just me, or
have there been 'way too many obit threads at once?

And people coming down with stuff,
and taking a turn for the worse ...

so how about a thread for those who need to recover?
