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: 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: 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: 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 |

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 |

Subject: RE: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: GUEST Date: 28 Apr 06 - 12:33 AM How can you all be so nice to a man who is so rude and cruel to Shambles? He has no right to do what he does but no one speaks against him. I curse this place. |

Subject: RE: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: GUEST,SunnySister Date: 28 Apr 06 - 12:41 AM Hoping all goes well with the surgery and you find yourself far better than before. Sending healing thoughts your way with the rest of this wonderful gang of your friends, --SunnySister |

Subject: RE: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: KT Date: 28 Apr 06 - 12:45 AM Giok, It's already tomorrow there, so you'll be going in soon. May you have the very best of surgeons and care, and a speedy recovery! You'll have lots to look forward to, including an extra little pat on the hip each time you go through airport security! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: dianavan Date: 28 Apr 06 - 12:54 AM Hey GIOK - I want to hear a blow by blow account of your recovery process. I know that hip replacement is in my future. I could also use a couple of new knees. ...and I thought dancing was supposed to be good exercise! Need to know exactly what I'm in for. Hope to hear that you are up and around and pain free in no time. |

Subject: RE: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: Big Mick Date: 28 Apr 06 - 02:29 PM Here I am, my friend. I hope all goes well, and you recover soon. But please don't let them convince you that Morris Dancing will be good therapy. Stick with The Fling, or the Funky Chicken, or the Mashed Potato ........ anything but Morris Dancing. Next thing you know you will be playing the banjo when you take time off from bodhran, and saving for a set of Highland Pipes. I shudder at the thought......... Mick |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: gnu Date: 28 Apr 06 - 03:02 PM Highland pipes? A lot of sucking and blowing there. U lean on the Irish pipes and yer good ta go. Time off from Bodhran? Does not compute. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: Amos Date: 28 Apr 06 - 05:37 PM Our Giok was obviously far too hip to begin with, or the Force would never have sent hi down this path. Even with surgery, he won't go down the Morris dance stream. He might learn some of those mid-Eastern fan dances, though, from the land of Mesopotamia. He could become a meso-hippopotamus. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: LilyFestre Date: 28 Apr 06 - 06:13 PM Hi Giok! I've been thinking about you all day today and I'm hoping that your surgery went well today and that you have some good drugs and aren't feeling too much pain. Be well my friend. ((((((((((HUGS))))))))))) Michelle |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: Skipjack K8 Date: 28 Apr 06 - 06:35 PM My hope for you to get well as soon as possible, my Scottish friend, is slightly self-serving. I would like your wheelchair. A few years ago, I queued for several hours to go on the Milennium Wheel in that London, and just as we got to the front of the queue, some fooker ran over me toes in their wheelchair, no waiting, straight into the pod. The moment the doors were closed, the bugger was bounding round the carriage like an antelope. I imagine it will be very useful for getting the best seats on planes, parking next to the door at Tesco's and I can enter the Marathon without fear of failure to secure a place. So get well soon, old friend! |

Subject: RE: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: GUEST,Nurse Ratched Date: 29 Apr 06 - 07:08 AM I'm pleased to say that I have been on duty keeping my little eye on Mr Mackenzie - and have been applying the thermometer regularly to check on his temperature! - careful with the shoves 'n all, just a little problem though, I went to get my fountain pen (the one with the lovely gold nib) to sign a certifcation a little earlier, and it was nowhere to be found.. In my pocket, just where I keep my lovely pen, was the thermometer - so, Please, Giok, if you feel a little discomfort, something needling you - CAN YOU GIVE ME BACK MY BLOODY PEN!! Nurse Ratched |

Subject: RE: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: GUEST,Bill the Collie Date: 29 Apr 06 - 07:15 AM You do know that people with new hearts assume, in part, the personality of the heart donor and research is under way to determine whether new hips also have a personality-changing effect. |

N. R. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: Bat Goddess Date: 29 Apr 06 - 12:02 PM My mother's done it twice, Giok, and she's got many years on you. You WILL be morris dancing in no time (should you desire to) -- or at least walking about without pain. (What a concept!) My hips are fine (Curmudgeon concurs), but my knees are shot -- and somehow they don't seem to "grow back", do they? How come we don't get the heavy duty industrial strength knees and hips as standard equipment?!? Of course there's a downside to the recovery process -- it's called "rehab". Home of ex-drill sergeants with medical training. Here's to a quick recovery! Linn |

Subject: RE: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: Rapparee Date: 30 Apr 06 - 03:13 PM Well, I'm glad he's okay, but I'm so sick and tired of these goddamned hippies I could just scream. And I would, but I'm afraid I'd scare the bagpipes that are nesting outside the door. Papa, Mama, and six baby pipes. Cute li'l things, but noisy. |

From: bfdk Date: 01 May 06 - 05:03 AM Giok, me friend, The Reckoning arrived here while you were getting your comeuppance in the capable hands of nurse Ratched and her competent staff. Thank you ever so much for that ;-)) Hope you are well and truly on the mend now, although I'm sure the nurses will have felt safer while you were still under the influence of some kind of calming substance.. Btw it has me a bit worried that nurse Ratched is asking for her *bloody* pen back. What on earth has she (or you) been doing with that pen?? Best wishes, Bente |

Don't know yet when he's likely to be released. |

Subject: RE: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: Rapparee Date: 01 May 06 - 08:50 AM Tossing the camber and sword dancing any day now. Easier than camber dancing and tossing the sword, I suspect. GIOK!! Stay in bed! Make them wait on you hand and foot for as long as you can! Milk this deal for all it's worth! Remember what William Wallace said! |

Subject: RE: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: Alba Date: 01 May 06 - 11:00 AM Rapaire don't encourage him to be sitting up in the bed shouting "I am William Wallace. And I see a whole army of my countrymen, here in defiance of tyranny! You have come to fight as free men. And free man you are! What will you do without freedom? Will you fight?" "Two thousand against ten? Fight and you may die. Run and you will live at least awhile. And dying in your bed many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance, to come back here as young men and tell our enemies that they may take our lives but they will never take our freedom!" Of course that's what Mel Gibson said William Wallace said so it must be true..*grin* Best Wishes as always:) Jude |

Subject: RE: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: John MacKenzie Date: 03 May 06 - 11:04 AM Well what can I say, thanks a bunch for all the good wishes and the abundant chuckles. I am back home as of this afternoon, and am still on elbow crutches, full recovery is expected at 6 weeks according to the Docs. Walking is hard work, and it takes a while for the severed muscles to realign themselves and knit together, so movement is limited. Rest assured that I shall NOT be taking up Morris dancing, I can find less strenous excuses for imbibing large amounts of beer. Remember someone once said "You should try everything once, except incest, and folk dancing" a sage piece of advice in my book. Thanks again for all the good wishes, and to the Guest who made the comment about my ongoing tussle with the Shambles, it would have helped of you'd read the previous posts fully! Thanks indeed to Roger for his wishes, and the realisation that our argument is largely idealogical, and not personal like some I could mention!! [Ooh did I say that out loud?] Love you all. Giok BTW I'm having the other one done in about 10/12 weeks!!!!!!!!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: gnu Date: 03 May 06 - 02:33 PM So good to hear from you, G!!! Now, you just keep in mind that you had a large dose of general anesthetic, so you daresn't be cruising around the loch in that fancy sportycar for a while. When they say no driving for two weeks, they mean it. And, when they say no alcoholic beverages for two weeks, scrrrrrew that! wb G. g |

Subject: RE: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: kytrad (Jean Ritchie) Date: 06 May 06 - 12:44 AM Welcome home. You sound like a youngun, Giok, so you've naught to worry about. My dear George, in his eighties, just broke a hip in a silly fall about a month ago. HE's healing well also, but it will take him a longer time than it will you, to be normal again. Nevertheless,what I tell him I'll tell you: Take it easy and learn to enjoy what you now cannot avoid- a good rest! Best, Jean |

Subject: RE: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: Wolfgang Date: 10 May 06 - 11:03 AM Giok, You've been missed in Cork. You'd have particularly liked the biased whisk(e)y tasting session in Jamesons destillery in which three Irish whiskeys won easily against a Scotch, a Bourbon and whatever else. How can an Irish Whiskey win a tasting session against a Scotch you may ask? Easily, the Scotch was Johnny Walker Red label. You would have been proud of our protests when we heard which whisky was to represent Scotland. Well, at least we now know for sure that there are Irish whiskeys that taste better than Johnny Walker, but we would not have doubted that before the session. Anyway, we had a wee dram for your recovery and it seems to have done good. At least to us. Wolfgang |

Subject: RE: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: gnu Date: 10 Jan 07 - 08:05 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: gnu Date: 10 Jan 07 - 09:15 AM Nope. Twas I what done it. Giok enjoyed it so much the first time, he's after getting the other one done. (I wondered how long it would take.) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: JennyO Date: 10 Jan 07 - 09:16 AM I guess gnu decided to conserve words and copied and pasted his original post. It's equally relevant now, because I believe Giok has gone in to get the other hip done. Hope it all goes well, Giok! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: JennyO Date: 10 Jan 07 - 09:17 AM Ha - cross posted. Oh well, you get the message. |

Subject: RE: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: Paul from Hull Date: 10 Jan 07 - 09:26 AM Ahhhhh! All is now revealed! I never thought of that....him getting other hip done I mean, & because he hadnt posted on here that he was off back to Hospital (& he was only posting to other threads yesterday (I checked before posting the above)) it never occured to me that you were practicing word thrift, Gnu! Well, if you speak to him while he's in Hospital, pass on my best wishes! |

From: catspaw49 Date: 10 Jan 07 - 09:30 AM No.....It seems that gnu has reached the end of his line and has nothing gnu to say..................Please forgive him as he knows not what he does and he never did. I can't believe it's time for Giok to get fixed. Just awhile back he didn't have a leg to stand on and soon he'll have TWO!!!! He can now be our official hippie. I'm thinking about you Giok.......And I'm thinking some pretty perverse thoughts................................ Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Get Well Soon GIOK... From: Amos Date: 10 Jan 07 - 02:17 PM Now, lads, you canna be pulling Jock's leg at will like this, for a few more days. These things take time to heal a bit. Now the BIG question is, whether the wee lasses in his area are well-clued in and will be able to detect a false hip from the genuine article, or whether they will fall (pardon the expression) for his artifical version. I don't suppose they do surgery on round heels thereabouts, do they? Make them ball bearing, or Teflon or some such? It's a slippery topic, that. But you'll be the master of it in no time, Giok! A |
