Re: A big Connundrum

Nice to here you have made your decision. Enjoy your Christmas, because hospital food is not up to much.

Re: A big Connundrum

I'd have given anything for a good curry or pizza when I was in hospital this Spring! I think the "scrambled eggs" must have been made from powdered eggs, I never saw such strange looking ones, and they had no flavor whatsoever!

With your jokes Joe you'll have them in stitches.

Mags darlin' - our hospital food is not bad down this end of the globe, just not enough of it!!! - will have to send out for biscuits, cakes and sweeties to sustain me between meals. When I had my hip operation previously I took a 2lt bottle of lime squash into the hospital with me. Thing was, whilst there was lime juice in the bottle, it wasn't ALL lime juice - I had managed to top it off with Vodka!!!!

Since this is apparently a frequent occurrence, perhaps I'll ask surgeon to insert a zipper in my bum, so that if it has to be done again, they can just unzip me and remove it.

Re: A big Connundrum

Pleased to hear your news Uncle Joe

The hospital food is good in this neck of the woods too, although like you've said, not much of it.

Lol @ your 2 Lt. of "Lime" juice.

Re: A big Connundrum

I am glad you've got it all sorted Uncle Joe. With your wicked ways you'll have many a pretty nurse at your beck and call. Just tell each one you haven't had your meal yet and they'll pop to the kitchens pronto and bring you one (or four) extra ones - hide the plates
