St Cross Stitcher's Ward

Re: St Cross Stitcher's Ward
Auntie Serinde bustles about plumps more pillows, makes sure the stitchers have good lighting, and that suppers are served (or lunch or breakfast depending on the time zones) and they are exactly what each of you has a little taste for. Nurse Jilly has done a fantastic job today, hasn't she!
Mauveme's crumpets are fresh and warm, with exactly enough butter. Perhaps meerkat would like some jelly for that ulcerated throat?
A quick check to see that TT's feet are elevated, and supported under the knees... oedema is very uncomfortable. A cool bath might be in order?
Thursday Next is suffering from a stubborn case of paradigmitis also known as ufomania. There are two possible solutions. The first involves choosing the most stubborn project, and making obvious progress. The second involves choosing the most time-critical project, and finishing it. There is a third way (naturally): find several small projects which only require minimal attention and finish them all.
Mel786 is in a cool, darkened room, very quiet. There is a everlasting cool cloth for her forehead, and whatever medications she currently requires.

Re: St Cross Stitcher's Ward
Auntie Serinde, you're a wonderful nurse...I'm praying that some time on the ward in your good care will help heal me quickly!

Grateful for my life - especially when I’m stitching!
Re: St Cross Stitcher's Ward

I pop back later with some mugs of Drinking Chocolate, Ovaltine, Horlicks and other bedtime drinks a little later..
Just relax ladies and don't worry about a thing

Re: St Cross Stitcher's Ward
For my nightime libation I would love some Bailey's Irish Creme.Fantastic ward staff here. They seem to know what we want before we can even ask.
Well done sisters.

Re: St Cross Stitcher's Ward
Ok Ladies...Hot Chocolate, Bailey's for Linda , Horlicks, Ovaltine, ..... of course the logistics of sorting who needs breakfast, dinner or supper are beyond my poor brain's capabilities, so just help yourself when peckish ...just talk quietly if you happen to be next to a sleeping bod
of course bacon butties are eatable at any time..as is chocolate

Re: St Cross Stitcher's Ward
well, another day of rest and recouperation for me and more medicine <vomits>
The care is wonderful, it is keeping my spirits up ( without resorting to Baileys ) and i do enjoy the crumpets.
I have a touch of Ufomania as well but am doing wonderfully well at starting new things and not finishing them before I move on to the next.

Re: St Cross Stitcher's Ward
Thank you Sister Serinde and Sister Jilly!
I'm much better now, moving me nearer the loo was a good idea Jilly!! (or is that too much information??? )
I can be on duty now to give some & for those still lingering. I can do pillow fluffing and hospital corners too!!
Home made lemonade anyone? Nice and cooling in all this heat! Oh yes and I'll get one of the men to put up some mosquito blinds too, just in case!

Re: St Cross Stitcher's Ward
I'm much better so do I qualify for a bacon buttie?? Oh and a crumpet too would go down a treat.
Then I'll pop on my pinny and do a couple of bed baths!!!
