St Cross Stitcher's Ward

[Serinde]

Auntie Serinde has been making beds (check out those hospital corners!) and plumping pillows all afternoon, to make our poorly peeps more comfortable. Hopefully, they will find the atmosphere conducive to stitching or watching the TV, or snoozing. The view from our lovely windows is whatever you want best to see.

Just like the Stash & Grab which, by the way, is just over there through those doors, anything that is legal, decent and honest can be obtained in the St Cross Stitcher's Ward. All TVs, iPods, choice of music, programming and all that kind of thing, not to mention excellent food (when you can bear the thought) is available at any hour, day or night. Of course, forum communication is simply the click of a mouse away.

You might not want to get well soon...

ha! I can't believe we actually opened up a ward. Brillaint idea. I feel privilaged to have suggested the name.

I am currently resting my stitches ( body ones) by stitching a bright butterfly and have a coffee near me and the music is on.

Shortly, I will need to take my medicine

Then i will need and please nurse

I will be recovering in a nice bed near the sun, with some music and my daughters butterflies to stitch. After that i would like a hot milo and some biscuits please nurse.

Buttefflies help in the healing process.

Anyway, my bed needs making now please.

[Mumof3]

I think I'll be able to leave the ward soon, leg is much better now only aches late on in the day.
I've just plumped my own pillows as I settle down to carry on with my HAED.

Thanks to the wonderful staff on this ward for all their care .

I need a good moan! Oh yes and the internet isn't behaving!!

Thank you Auntie Serinde for providing the beautiful view and calming surroundings!

I feel I may have to join you all, but only for a few days I hope! As with pregnancy and the heat.... I have very swollen feet and ankles that are very painful. I have tried to rest them up a bit but it doesn't help. I think that I may have to spend the next 19 days or so with my feet high and my fingers stitching!

[Mabel Figworthy]

Still queasy and woozy from Monday, so I can definitely do with this new ward -- thank you Nurse Serinde!

[mel876]

i'm jumping in here as well, onto my third day of migraine.

[Thursday Next]

I'm having a a disease of the worst kind Can't focus at all on my stitching...and I have tons of things that are nearly completed that I desperately want to finish and/or make progress on, but I can't seem to sit still and work on anything for more than 5 minutes....oh the pain!!! Please kind nurses, do you have an ailment for me????

TT, I had that after I had my son because of all of the fluids I was given while I was in labor. I don't know if this would help now, but I wrapped my feet in a nice warm blanket (I know, not a nice thought in this hot weather). It helped to sweat out the extra fluids in my feet.

Please can I have the bed by the window,with lots of fresh air..I promise to be quiet, I have an ulcerated throat and I can't talk which is ok here but my DH is missing the sound of my voice
Hi to everyone else in the ward looks like your great idea is a winner Serinde
