@Pale Rider - of course but I'm sure @DCLane would be well able to marshal his peloton :ninja: into 'respecting and respectable' behaviour and manners ... even if it means leaving some people out ... :rolleyes:

Agreed, the conduct of the visitors has as much to do with it as their number.

Worth having a think about this before any mass visit.

Enforcement of the rule appears variable, so if a load of us do turn up, all but two or three may be turned away by the ward staff.

@fossyant, Do you reckon we could smuggle one of these into place, without it being noticed?

Just popping in to say hello!
Sorry you'll be in hospital for Christmas - sounds like your family and cycling buddies will keep you occupied, for some of the time anyway!
Having worked at Christmas and also sat by my son at Christmas, I can confirm the staff go the extra mile to make sure it's as nice as possible :smile:

My lad was in at Christmas many a time and had Santa visit, the local football team, a magician....which was hilarious as the lad was so keen to get up close, he launched himself out the wheelchair, complete with drip - should have heard the shout from the staff of 'Stop!' and "Don't move!' :laugh:
He got to be the magicians assistant after that!
The lad has autism and tends to speak his mind - he hates football so when the one of the lads from the team asked him if he liked football he told it how it was "No. I hate it but my mother told me I have to be polite' :rofl:
I don't think they provide that sort of entertainment for an adult ward but I hope it made you smile :smile:

Sending positive thoughts for your fast healing!

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.
