Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: lady penelope Date: 12 Jan 05 - 04:53 PM Suffering only from a stiff neck and a re-popped ligament, I would like to offer hugs and best wishes all round. It appears there are more bits of Catters hanging round hospitals than there are hanging round Mudcat! I could be tempted to say "Pull yourselves together!" but I won't........ : ) TTFN Lady P. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: Liz the Squeak Date: 12 Jan 05 - 03:34 PM nice scars... do you know where they are jacqui? Not nice at all!!! To simmulate being ravaged by an elephant, find the biggest, heaviest item in your house, a fridge is usually good. Get someone to hold it over you, and drop it twice, once on your chest, once on your naughty bits. Imagine the scent of bananas, hay and semi rotted fruit. That will nicely imitate the smell of 5 different technicians all wearing a different body spray, leaning over you. LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: jacqui.c Date: 11 Jan 05 - 05:42 PM We can swap war stories there. We've each had two operations in the past year or so, with some nice scars to show for them. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: Liz the Squeak Date: 11 Jan 05 - 02:20 PM Nurse, the screens, Kendall is coming!!! Sympathy always here, so long as you don't mind us telling you about our operations..... I'll let you off seeing the scars! LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: jacqui.c Date: 11 Jan 05 - 01:11 PM LTS - glad to see you're recovering now. Cat - sorry to hear this - all best wishes to you. Can I have a small corner please - I've got a really horrible cold that's laid me low for the past three days and left poor Kendall having to take care of me, although he has some symptoms as well. I think we could both do with the IV treatment - Guiness for him and Chardonay for me please. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: Liz the Squeak Date: 11 Jan 05 - 12:17 AM You're supposed to get legless AFTER the wedding..... knowing you, you'll get drunk and fall off something and bust it again! I'll be in to see you.. that pethidine is good stuff isn't it.. mine yesterday made the bed go up and the bed go down, even though it wasn't being moved! LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: John MacKenzie Date: 10 Jan 05 - 06:13 PM I've heard of the expression 'break a leg' to wish you luck before you go on stage, but don't you think that's taking things too literally? Giok :~) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: Tig Date: 10 Jan 05 - 06:08 PM At least the docs are taking note of the fact you want to dance at your hand fasting and giving you a fair recovery time |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: SINSULL Date: 10 Jan 05 - 03:57 PM GEEEZ, Miss Phiddle. You can have a private suite if you like. SO sorry. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: Catherine Jayne Date: 10 Jan 05 - 03:44 PM Can I book a bed please??...... I had a phone call from the hospital today and I am going in to have my left leg just below the knee broken and reset on Tuesday 18th January. I go for the pre-op checks tomorrow morning. Hopefully I will be out of the hospital and ready to take up the bed on the mudcat recovery ward on the 24th....as long as I don't have any of the complications I had last time. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: SINSULL Date: 10 Jan 05 - 02:54 PM Ravaged???? LUcky you. Now settle in for a long rest. Gin IV in, catheter out. You won't have to move for days. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: John MacKenzie Date: 10 Jan 05 - 02:52 PM Yaaay welcome home dear girl ;~) Giok |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: Liz the Squeak Date: 10 Jan 05 - 02:50 PM Well apart from feeling like I was ravaged and then run over by an elephant, I'm doing pretty well! LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: Hawker Date: 10 Jan 05 - 02:38 PM Hope it all went well LTS, Ive bin thinking of you. I went to see the orthopaedic chap today and having 2nd knee arthroscopy and cartilage job done within the next 5 weeks!!! book me a bed! Keep well Cheers, Lucy |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: SINSULL Date: 10 Jan 05 - 12:31 PM Is Liz's bed ready? Gin IV set up? Better put a little something in the IV over the chair for visitors. Manitas is a looking a bit under the weather too. Chocolates in place. Flowers for color, fresh sheets, clean bedpan...looks like we are all ready. Now where's Liz? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: Liz the Squeak Date: 06 Jan 05 - 05:56 PM Nah... that was labelled 'Deliveries'. LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: GUEST,Mingulay Date: 06 Jan 05 - 11:58 AM That's the one by the Maternity Ward. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: Liz the Squeak Date: 05 Jan 05 - 06:42 PM My cardiac surgery has a little room near the theatres, marked 'patient waiting'.... Wonder where the 'impatient waiting' room is? LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: GUEST,Mingulay Date: 05 Jan 05 - 11:08 AM Benefit of course, though I'm still very private and fairly patient. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: Liz the Squeak Date: 04 Jan 05 - 04:43 PM Depends if you are a private patient or if you are on benefit..... LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: GUEST,Mingulay Date: 04 Jan 05 - 10:33 AM I thought ICDM was a guided missile! As Blaster Bates once said when addressing a WI meeting "Ladies, I have come here today to talk about being blasted into eternity by a guided missile. Not about being blasted into maternity by a guided muscle"!!!!! Is this medicine oral or IV? and do we get ministered to by the cooling hands of the temple maidens? |

Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 04 Jan 05 - 07:51 AM As I hit Submitt I saw the ads below were for cough syrup, so I opened the thread again to pass on this vital news, but some sneaky bastard has replaced them with '100% Legal Music Downloads' & 'Music Folk'. How can it be legal to download 9 billion songs!! No Pop-ups either & no Spyware - it forgot to mention the flying pigs. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 04 Jan 05 - 07:47 AM Mudcat withdrawal syndrome must be in the ICDM, all diseases are, so you have no excuse not be admitted. Makle sure you get the bed next to Giok as he has the malt - Liz has gin. sandra ICDM = International Classification of Diseases manual |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: GUEST,Mingulay Date: 04 Jan 05 - 06:36 AM Can't agree more Giok. Does Mudcat withdrawal syndrome qualify as a notifiable disease requiring inpatient treatment? If so, do malt based medicines help? |

Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: John MacKenzie Date: 04 Jan 05 - 05:16 AM Ribs look nicer with busts on them! Giok |

Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: Liz the Squeak Date: 04 Jan 05 - 05:02 AM So how is everyone this morning? All ready for the bed baths? We've had a few people complaining of poorliness and injury, but not checking in here... don't they know we offer the best TLC and IV gin in the business? Oh and Sandra - re: your comment above... it doesn't do too well for busted ribs either! LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 02 Jan 05 - 07:49 AM what's wrong with listening to Goon shows? You could be listening to a lot worse - like reality TV shows, or politician's speeches, or Nurse Ratchet forbidding brandy or painkillers. Laughter is the best medicine, except perhaps for those with stitches or sore throats. sandra |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: Pauline L Date: 01 Jan 05 - 08:51 PM I thought I was a lot better but my body has told me otherwise. I went to the grocery store this afternoon and came back exhausted. However, I did get some ice cream, which is very good for a sore throat. Breyer's low fat chocolate mint chip was on sale, so I bought two half gallons. That's plenty and I'd be glad to share. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: Liz the Squeak Date: 01 Jan 05 - 06:37 PM Well, after last night/this morning, I think we all need a few IV painkillers..... Round 'em up for the ol' brandy there! (Must stop listening to the Goon shows...!) LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: Stilly River Sage Date: 31 Dec 04 - 11:21 AM Probably setting up the electroshock bed right now. . . or supervising the shower. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: jacqui.c Date: 31 Dec 04 - 09:05 AM Kendall's back in again - the cough has returned with a vengeance (smoky room at a Gaberlunzie concert I think). This may mean we stay in for New Year's Eve rather than making Gainsborough....... Where's that Nurse Ratched? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: Essex Girl Date: 31 Dec 04 - 08:07 AM Lots of hugs from me and Dave Liz. I'll be thinking of you on the 10th. Sorry we missed your Boxing day bash. Linda |

Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: Roger the Skiffler Date: 30 Dec 04 - 08:41 AM Liz, you've got such a big heart, they'll have no problem finding room to operate. Best wishes. RtS (lucky only to be a bit deaf and a bit creaky in the joints) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 30 Dec 04 - 07:32 AM my cough seems to have come back & as it was a single cough following on an evening sitting on an uncomfortable seat that did my back in recently, maybe it will be a Good Thing to have a rest. Tho when I cough it is easier to brace myself when standing/leaning over than when I lay down, so I'll just take my rest in a good chair. sandra |

Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: Liz the Squeak Date: 30 Dec 04 - 04:12 AM Hey, this is the Mudcat Recovery Ward - even a hangnail will get you a cosy bed and some TLC in here! Sore throat has set in now, so no singing over New Year - Boo!!! BUT - I did rest my eyes on a glorious ballet last night, the Nutcracker with set and costumes designed by Gerald Scarfe, the cartoonist. It was wonderful! The lady behind me complained about the lack of tutus and someone else moaned about the naughty fan dance (remember those scantily clad ladies of the 1920s with the ostrich feather fans strategically placed?!)but I thought it was all brilliant. Now, does anyone know how to stop my eyeballs rolling around when I cough? Thanks for the hugs too... much appreciated. LTS LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: Pauline L Date: 30 Dec 04 - 02:54 AM My cough and cold are making me feel awful. I know it's not a serious illness, just makes you feel like hell. I think Sinsull has had enough of me. I'll check myself in. Lots of big hugs to those who are really sick. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: open mike Date: 29 Dec 04 - 11:40 PM save a spot for sorcha and her elbow! watch out here comes peg...she is the little old lady from pasadena...drives like she is in a sports car! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: Sorcha Date: 29 Dec 04 - 11:27 PM My elbow (that I had surg on today) is doing quite nicely. Changed the dressing/bandages 12 hrs early and it feels MUCH better. I too will skip the bedpan, but I'd really like a shower. Must settle for a bath. Love and hugs to all that need them and, Nurse Racthed, you stay the hell away from me! Roger may attend if necessary. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: Áine Date: 29 Dec 04 - 11:25 PM Sending big healing hugs to every one of you 'Catters who are feelin' poorly . . . And to Wesley S -- Darlin', if you need anything, please give me a call, OK? I'm within driving distance, ya know. Anything at all. And to give you a wee push to get up and goin' -- I should be getting my new bouzouki from Davy Stuart in about 3 weeks or so . . . and you are sure invited over to give it a go!! ;-) Feelin' better already, aren't ya! ;-) All the best, Áine |

Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: Ebbie Date: 29 Dec 04 - 11:18 PM I wondered about that myself, Giok. The tensile strength would probably withstand anything short of a chain saw. :) |

Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: Mudlark Date: 29 Dec 04 - 06:51 PM Struggling back from a really bad bout with lupus, following a try at too hasty recovery from gallbladder surgery in September. This time it's hit my right hip hard (the one without a new hip joint) and I've been hobbling painfully around ever since Thanksgiving, hoping it doesn't turn into a permanent condition. No more operations for me for a while, no matter what! I'll happily relax into the MC Recovery Ward, just so long as it's not in a hospital. Good luck and healing whatnots to all who hover here for a while. Anxious to see us all up, tripping the light fantastic, very soon. |

Thank heavens it's winter here. All that candle heat in the summer and I'd have to check into the ward myself. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Second Mudcat Recovery Ward From: John MacKenzie Date: 29 Dec 04 - 05:54 PM Don't want to worry you guys with the mesh hernia repair job BUT I heard a story about a guy who had that op twice, once each side. When they came to do a prostate op on the same guy they couldn't get into the bloody gland, which for those of you who don't know lies between the testes and the anus, and oddly enough it's easier to get at it from the front. Anyway not with this poor guy, they had to enter by the back door, OUCH!!! Giok |
