St Cross Stitcher's Ward

[Serinde]

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.

[Thursday Next]

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!

[Jilly]

phew! thank you Serinde!
Who would like some
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

[meerkat]

I missed afternoon tea,must've dropped off but I would love some jelly please

swaps Meercat and Wendy round so that Meercat is near the window and Wendy near the loo*

Thank you Nurse Jilly, it is lovely by the window,and thankyou Auntie Serinde for a very well made and comfy bed.

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.

[Jilly]

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

[Lizzieh]

Oh no. There's nothing wrong with me but it sounds so nice and restful here. Can I stay and be the visitor who shares out all the and .

Liz

[mauveme]

((((ssshhhhh, nothing wrong with me either , I just like the company, and the service is great))))

[*barb*]

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.

[wendywombat]

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!

[meerkat]

Oh no. There's nothing wrong with me but it sounds so nice and restful here. Can I stay and be the visitor who shares out all the and .

Don't come near me Liz, I'm in the corner,silent, by the window.. mines at the "got worse" stage "before getting better" I can only manage luke warm liquid at the mo. so you and Mauveme can have my and between you. Lucky you don't need your voice to stitch

[Lisa]

*sneaks back in*

i was feeling great y'day but wok up with a stuffed nose

[wendywombat]

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!!!

[Jilly]

As workers... 'tis our duty to test all food is up to the highest standards Wendy...tuck in (both food and bed corners )

[wendywombat]

*wipes the bacon crumbs off fingers and slurps up last of butter from chin*

OK, who needs a quick freshen up then??? I'm a devil with the flannel you know!!

[meerkat]

Are there any bacon butties left? I'm so hungry...all this TLC has worked wonders, I think I'm on the mend.I can talk again in short bursts I will vacate my bed by the window today..I can recommend the view to any incoming patients. No bed bath needed this time thanks Wendy Thank you to Auntie Serinde and Nurse Jilly for a very comfortable stay here Are there any crumpets left,pleeease. I have to make up for lost eating time
