Fossy's Back Up after being Down

[potsy]

Just been for a visit with @I like Skol, good to see fossy, he is in good spirits and I can confirm he hasn't lost his appetite

 

[Scoosh]

@fossyant - surely you should all be asking for him to be removed to his own cell - which might happen to be some distance from the nurses' station ...

@potsy - that's great, what sterling chaps you are !

Did @I like Skol leave any biscuits ??
Did he bring any ???

 

[potsy]

Mince pies were brought and eaten, I think fossy snaffled a couple for a midnight feast later

I don't think they are feeding him! Honestly have never seen anyone scoff a mince pie so hungrily, and Fossy ate his pretty quickly too. I will have a word with the staff in the works canteen and make sure they give Potsy extra portions, I think he needs building up a bit

Fossy appears to be in great spirits and is frighteningly mobile. It makes me wince when he keeps twisting around to reach for things. Crikey, has nobody told him he has a broken spine?

He is busy making plans for his future MTB rides and I for one am hoping to join him for one of his inaugural post-injury forays.......

I've just asked the nurses t o move me off my current ward. It's been great until a bigoted, never married, old grumpy bastardo arrived earlier this week. If Chris, my next bed mate gets to go home next week , I'll be gone, I've asked for for another ward or even a single room (not something I'd really like (prefer to chat) but I am getting close to killing the bugger.

There isn't much up with him, just a bit frail from a small fall.Wont do the phyio's exercises, and decides which nurse he likes and doesn't, and tells them so. Tells some to smile and is damn rude. We as patiens have told him he is out of order. He is bordering on a 'perv' in use of language. Mithers for the slightest thing, when its quite clear one of the patients that is dying is in serious pain, so the piddle bottle not being the exact one he likes can wait.

One of the other lads same age of me has a busted back asked why he had never married after the old man asked him some prying questions. Out came that he really didn't like friends and was guide happy being a long tern 'banker' (replace the b with w). The three of us fell over laughing trying not to do more back damage to our broken ribs. He thought we were odd not being regular buyers of porn mags and DVD.s Not exactly normal. All of us were quite happy with wives/girlfriends.

On came my headphones and on went the music for the whole day. Again he's been rude to the nurses so I've asked can I have a chat with a head nurse as I find him obnoxious.

The nurses understood as he is a problem, so I want t offer suport for them so hey can report this idiot to management. If it means being on my own, then so be it, if that is the only spare space.

I've got another three weeks here and if have to be here with him there will be trouble. I'm just about to be very short with him.

.

When I was in for my hip replacement I was fortunate in that the other ward inmates were pleasant enough.

A private room sounds attractive, but the coming and goings on the ward, and interaction with the others, played a big part for me in making the hospital time pass in a bearable manner.

I hear what you are saying about supporting the nurses against the bigot, but they will have seen it a hundred times before and will have ways of fettling him which he will never realise, let alone you as a spectator.

 

[Scoosh]

Thanks guys - we who cannot get to visit really appreciate your efforts.

I just hope Fossy does too !

Just think of that extra back support though.

Maybe he could have the single room so that you weren't on your own? He does sound very pleasant, do you think he will in for very long?

Think I may have caught something when I have been visiting @fossyant or maybe I am just unwell. I keep looking at my commuter bike and thinking 'it wouldn't look half bad if I gave it a really good clean'. I don't know what is wrong with me as I have not felt like this in the last 3yrs so why now? I hope it doesn't last right through the Christmas holiday period........

I know we haven't had much gritting so far in this mild winter, but doesn't your commuter bike rot if you don't clean all the salty grit off it in normal winters?

Oh, while I am here ... Continue to get well, Fossy!

Not that I can see, besides, the salt soon gets washed off by all the rain

Strange ... I did a Christmas Morning ride once and then rushed back for Christmas dinner. I didn't think about cleaning the bike until the next day by which time the chain and various other parts had already got badly rusted!

My bike is protected by an invincible shield made from........... grime and oil.

Don't give in to this pernicious weakness..... Immediately treat with a strong application of alcohol, followed by a nice lie down till the feeling goes away.

Is two in a hospital bed allowed?
