Well they've got me again. This time it's just as an alleged day care patient, but I've been told to "pack an overnight bag just in case". Yeah well twice in the past month I've dropped into a hospital day ward, and twice they've kept me in for days. Fool me once shame on you, fool me THREE times...tsk.. I'm taking no chances.
This time I are forewarned. I am becoming a veteran bed blocker. This time round, as well as toothpaste and jammies, my overnight bag will contain the following:-
Back soon, with or without stent...
This time I are forewarned. I am becoming a veteran bed blocker. This time round, as well as toothpaste and jammies, my overnight bag will contain the following:-
- Tonight's dinner in the form of super nice salad. I have considered a small bottle of chilled wine, but gone with fruit juice...
- DOUGHNUTS. You can never have too many doughnuts in hospital.
- Phone recharger. Because as well as keeping everyone updated, the iPhone is going to have to cope as an all round entertainment centre. I shall be checking blogs as well as doing my online sudoku y'know. Luckily every hospital bed comes well supplied with sockets.
- Trash magazines. Because at some point my brain will be mulch, and Cheryl Cole's life will suddenly appear more interesting than mine.
- Perfume. Because hospitals (and the commode which seems to be permanently parked at the bed next to mine) stink. I have sufficient stocks of Bergamot and Lime to spray liberally
Back soon, with or without stent...

Always a good plan to get the food organised. Thinking of you and hoping it's a painless experience and you're back soon.xoxox

Best wishes, Macy. I hope you get the stent and that you don't have to wait too long. Will keep an eye out for your updates.

Stent fair! Good luck and hope you are bounding again soon.

A stent? Good grief, your heart is being decidedly bolshy. Sensible to be so well prepared for the shortcomings in the hospital regime. I always thought hospitals stank of antiseptic rather than commodes. Things have obviously changed and not for the better.

Duh hospitals. At least they're there to help, so behave your bad self woman. No throwing doughnuts. Unless it's into your yapper. And not too many for god's sake.
Also, why is my word veri "GAYNO"? I am a very straight penis loving girl I'll have you know.
Luck, ladyfriend!xx

Ah, "Back in the Jug Agane" that made me laugh out loud - I haven't thought of Molesworth for years. And isn't red wine supposed to be good for the ticker?

Nurse Ratchet will confiscate and destroy these evil doughnuts merciless.

Best of luck to you, sweetie!
Stents are good things. My uncle had one and he lived a really long time and annoyed the hell out of all those he couldn't charm the socks off of...
(word verification = couslati. Seems to go with uncle, sort of.)

This post pushes so many buttons, especially about hospital food and Molesworth, both of which I have blogged extensively about! I do hope you manage to sustain your nutritional intake, and not just on salad and doughnuts?

Love the day visit or day surgery---oh, Clyde, you've been chewing on a cough lolly, we'll have to give you a spinal tap instead---oh, and your legs wont move for 24 hours and you will have no idea of your own gender---hope you've made arrangements----
I do hate it when a young nurse grabs your willy and you can't even appreciate it
Hope your getting there---
Need the jogging with Ned photos
