Subject: RE: BS: catsPHiddle going into Hospital From: sian, west wales Date: 18 Jan 05 - 11:58 AM OK - a couple hot off ... my cousin, actually: An gentleman had serious hearing problems for a number of years. He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100%. The gentleman went back in a month to the doctor and the doctor said, "Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again." The gentleman replied, "Oh, I haven't told my family yet. I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I've changed my will three times!" ******************************************************* Hospital regulations require a wheelchair for patients being discharged. However, while working as a student nurse, I found one gentleman--already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet--who insisted he didn't need my help to leave the hospital. After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me wheel him to the elevator. On the way down I asked him if his wife was meeting him. "I don't know," he said. "She's still upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her hospital gown." Micca ... don't even think about it ... ! siân |

Subject: RE: BS: catsPHiddle going into Hospital From: Hollowfox Date: 18 Jan 05 - 03:41 PM Darn the time zone difference and all, I just signed on and saw this. well, the pre-op-@!#$-reduction candle will get lit in about five hours, the op and post op candles will be standing by for their turns. It's *very* cold here today, so tonight will be a good evening for such things. And now for a musical morgue joke: It was 3:00 AM when an orderly had to go into the morgue. He heard a faint sound coming from one of the holding drawers, so he opened it to see a cadaver laying face-down with a cotton ball in the butt crack. He removed the cotton only to hear a thin, high, reedy voice warbling "Moon River, wider than a mile..." Hastily replacing the cotton and shutting the drawer, he dashed out. Normally, morgue duty didn't bother him, but this did. After some thought he went back in, opened the drawer, and bravely ignoring the faint sound,he copied down the name of the doctor formerly in charge of the deceased. He then called the doctor at home, saying that there was an emergency requiring his attention. After a while the VID (Very Important Doctor) arrived, and went with the orderly down to the morgue. All was as it had been, the rone cadaver, the cotton, the irritating little voice...at thich point the doctor rounded on the orderly and roared, "You mean that you called me out of my warm bed to come down here at 4:00 in the morning to hear some asshole sing Moon River?!?!?" |

Subject: RE: BS: catsPHiddle going into Hospital From: Ellenpoly Date: 19 Jan 05 - 10:22 AM Great news! I found this in my e-mail today and thought it might make you smile. ..xx..e A guy sticks his head into a barber shop and asks, "How long before I can get a haircut?" The barber looks around the shop and says, "About 2 hours." The guy leaves. A few days later the same guy sticks his head in the door and asks, "How long before I can get a haircut?" The barber looks around at shop full of customers and says, "About 2 hours." The guy leaves. A week later the same guy sticks his head in the shop and asks, "How long before I can get a haircut?" The barber looks around and says, "About an hour and a half." The guy leaves. The barber looks over at a friend in the shop and says, "Hey, Bill, follow that guy and see where he goes." Later, Bill comes back into the shop, a grim look on his face. The barber asks, "Bill, where did he go when he left here?" Bill looked up and said, "To your house." |

Subject: RE: BS: catsPHiddle going into Hospital From: Liz the Squeak Date: 20 Jan 05 - 05:37 PM She had a new cast fitted this afternoon, but I didn't make it round to see her.. she sent me a message! She still hopes to be home on Friday but we'll see. LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: catsPHiddle going into Hospital From: MudGuard Date: 20 Jan 05 - 05:44 PM A new cast? After just one day? What a waste ;-) But as long as Khatt only wastes one cast per day and not one castle per day ... ;-) |

Subject: RE: BS: catsPHiddle going into Hospital From: Big Mick Date: 20 Jan 05 - 05:59 PM Phid, me love, I just found this. I am so pleased to hear things went well. Give my regards to that layabout, and make him cook for you. Here's one to make you smile. Mrs. O'Grady went to the doctor and complained, "My husband's got no sex drive. I'm raring to go, but he ain't interested." "Well," said the doctor, "Why not try Viagra?" "He won't take the stuff," says Mrs. O'Grady. "Well there's an easy solution to that," says the doctor, "Just put a couple of drops in his coffee. He'll be none the wiser." A couple of weeks later, Mrs. O'Grady is back in the office. "How did the Viagra work?" the doctor asks. "Oh doctor, it was terrible!" Says Mrs. O'Grady. "I put it in his coffee, and he drank it right down. Next thing I know he's got me up on the table, and his pants are down and he's going at it like when we were first married." "Was he too rough?" the doctor asked. "No," Mrs. O'grady said. "The best sex I ever had in my life. But I'll never be able to show my face in that Starbucks again!" Mick |

Subject: RE: BS: catsPHiddle going into Hospital From: Morticia Date: 21 Jan 05 - 03:42 AM Ok, combat hospital visiting team, form up, by the right! |

Subject: RE: BS: catsPHiddle going into Hospital From: Liz the Squeak Date: 21 Jan 05 - 03:51 AM Has she not eaten much because it's disgusting or because she's not hungry? Food parcel being prepared later, to be delivered this afternoon..... CHVT - This is going to be a covert operation, I want you sneaking in, under the cover of nurses, one every 10 minutes. That should get the maximum coverage with the minimum chance of detection. All combatants will be equiped with stealth chocolate, the latest spyware fruit bowls and WMDs (Water, Mineral for Drinking). Good luck chaps, see you back in Blighty. LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: catsPHiddle going into Hospital From: Micca Date: 21 Jan 05 - 03:21 PM Bulletin. Khatt is in there for the weekend, its official. she is having problems with stairs so they are keeping her in. she is a LOT less than happy about this but Sailorvee as they say. anyway the CHVT are intending to premiere their new Formation Hospital Visiting routine tomorrow and I will give more details after the event.. apart from that she is quite cheerful, off the morphine and on more regular painkillers, boredom is rife but the leg is twingeing enough to remind her why she is there. Many thanks for all your good wishes Micca |
|
Subject: RE: BS: catsPHiddle going into Hospital From: gnu Date: 21 Jan 05 - 03:26 PM "...regular...". Good news. Now... how many of youse guys wanted to say, "Break a leg." before she went in but thought it in VERY bad taste ? Even for this crowd. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: catsPHiddle going into Hospital From: wysiwyg Date: 21 Jan 05 - 03:32 PM Thanks, Micca. Please tell her we're with her, and to rest easy till she can get up and kick some ass. ~S~ |

Subject: RE: BS: catsPHiddle going into Hospital From: sian, west wales Date: 21 Jan 05 - 04:11 PM OK - kinda back-slud on the jokes assignment so, poor tho' it may be: While on a road trip, an elderly couple stopped at a roadside restaurant for lunch. After finishing their meal, they left the restaurant and resumed their trip. When leaving, the elderly woman unknowingly left her glasses on the table. And, she didn't miss them until after they had been driving about twenty minutes. By then, to add to the aggravation, they had to travel quite a distance before they could find a place to turn around in order to return to the restaurant to retrieve her glasses. All the way back, the elderly husband became the classic grouchy old man. He fussed and complained and scolded his wife relentlessly during the entire return drive. The more he chided her, the more agitated he became. He just wouldn't let up one minute. To her relief, they finally arrived at the restaurant. And as the woman got out of the car and hurried inside to retrieve her glasses, the old geezer yelled to her....... "While you're in there, you might as well get my hat and credit card." sian |

Subject: RE: BS: catsPHiddle going into Hospital From: Teresa Date: 21 Jan 05 - 04:49 PM Get well soon, please. Looking forward to meeting you two at the getaway. :) Teresa What is an agnostic, dyslexic insomniac? Someone who lies awake all night, wondering if there really is a Dog. |

Subject: RE: BS: catsPHiddle going into Hospital From: Amos Date: 21 Jan 05 - 04:59 PM Combat Hospital Visiting Team (noun)--a paramilitary organization whose purpose is invading Khatt's ward, terrorizing the staff and leaving her in stitches, so to speak, and weak from laughter. Good luck, team!!! A |

Subject: RE: BS: catsPHiddle going into Hospital From: Liz the Squeak Date: 21 Jan 05 - 06:05 PM The advance party rallied at 16.00hrs today, armed with various foodstuffs (the chocolate dipping biscuits went down well) - the stealth chocolate was so stealthy, I remember buying it, I remember not eating it, but I don't remember passing it over to Khatt..... LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: catsPHiddle going into Hospital From: Stilly River Sage Date: 21 Jan 05 - 06:20 PM Micca, tell Khatt thanks about the bear name! (Ghirardelli was also a possibility!) :) BTW: Moonglow has been rationing out the various chocolates and candies you sent. They have been a great treat, and a lot of fun to compare to local products. Hugs to both of you, and stay comfortable. I hope Liz's food-smuggling campaign is successful! SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: catsPHiddle going into Hospital From: Morticia Date: 21 Jan 05 - 08:55 PM Don't let word of this get out but the CHVT is actioned for 18:00 hours tomorrow..bearing stealth choccie and one or two other surprises. Pixie adores hospital visiting, specially if she finds a white coat that is small enough to fit her...we alter charts, eat everyone's grapes and tell people who need a bed pan to hang on, someone's coming ( which they aren't).It's the dogs. Hang on Khatt, we're coming *E.G* |

Subject: RE: BS: catsPHiddle going into Hospital From: Tig Date: 23 Jan 05 - 05:05 PM Were the CHVT caught in the act? Did she survive their visit? Has she beaten up the Physio Terrorists? Or accosted their ears with the bad jokes? Come on - let us know! |

Subject: RE: BS: catsPHiddle going into Hospital From: Stilly River Sage Date: 23 Jan 05 - 09:54 PM Poor baby. Take some nice music or poetry down to at least soothe her soul, if not her stomach. The painkiller can cause the nausea. You could ask them check it. SRS |
