HTH's blog from hospital...

[badgermark]

I had two pretty hot nurses wash my happy sack in April. If i hadn't just had an operation on said happy sack and if it wasn't a swollen, bruised wreck I'd have tried my hand...

More info than you asked for, hope it clears up soonish and you have a speedy recovery.

[HTH AMPS]

in all honesty, I could never get the hot student nurses to wash my hairy sack of magic, our lass would kick off  :lol:

just got woke up at 6:30am to have my blood pressure taken - it was probably a bit high as getting woke up in the wee hours tends top p*ss me off, ha, ha.

fell asleep with my mp3 kicking out The Who to blot out the snoring from my 'room-mate', sounds like a pig - was p*ssed at him.

anyway, I got a big needle in the shoulder to look forward to  :(

Hope you get discharged soon (oh err!) Get we soon mate...

Wish you all the best for a speedy recovery, HTH. Keep those spirits up, and get the hell out of there nice and soon,  you hear!?

I was a nurse for many years, and I never really got why the "establishment" always wanted patients woken up early for their observations (obs) to be taken. OK, for critically ill patients, you need to take their obs very regularly for their own safety, as people can still die, or deteriorate a lot in their sleep. BUT for most patients, they are actually very stable, and would be much better off being left to get a couple of extra hours sleep, after being kept up in the night for several hours by snoring/shouting/crying/wailing Johhny in the next bed.
  Its much more down to the tradition and routine being famliar for the nurses rather than anything else.

Truly, hospitals are the pits !!    and I should know, as I have spent many, many years working in them.  :(

 I once got badly b*llocked for not waking a bed and breakfast patient up to do their obs  :( It's a real struggle to fight against institutional tradition. I'd really want a good reason to wake up a young patient with a non-operative, non-traumatic orthopaedic problem though. When I used to work on a ward I'd always try to do my obs AFTER they'd done the morning tea round, I found people more amenable to it then ;)

I was sick on a hot nurse once.  I think that it slightly impaired my chances of getting off with her...

Hope you feel better soon.

even more stupid is the physios coming round at 9am - arthritis is typically worst in the morning so I can never do what they ask as everything is still too stiff and painfull.

on the upside, hospital radio was playing Metallica's Garage Days EP late last night, still sounds great.

Get well soon! ;)

Only had morphine once and... yeah, I see why people are into that stuff! It makes everything fantastic, no matter how many holes have been dug in you!!

My brothers a nurse, so I could send him along.

Actually, my mum's a nurse too...... I'd send her but she'd eat you alive  :D

thanks for that kind offer, but male nures aint floating my boat.

spoke to my consultant earlier & the plan of action is very promising. if my joints havent settled down to usual levels requiring only modest arthritis treatment, then we are going to try some far stronger meds that cost £10k per patient per year.

oh, and I have a knee biopsy to endure this week too under local anaesthetic - expect it will be sore as f*ck afterwards, will be getting regular morphine to help anyway  :D

I'm filling my days in reading at the minute, started with Gordon Ramsey's biog.

hang in there man! sounds like your spirits are rising anyway ;)

They put me on oral morphine after my wrist operation 7 months ago. It didn't do anything :(
They said they didn't want to put me on the full-blown injectathon stuff because they didn't have any spare beds (it was day surgery to put a pin through my scaphoid).
Glad to hear it's working for you!
