Something Fishy!!

Not a lot to report today you�ll be pleased with although there is still no
guarantee that I won�t rant on a bit just for the fun of it.

For some strange reason unbeknown to me I didn�t sleep a wink last night and
was still listening to music at 6am when the wagon train rolled up in the
shape of a delightful young nurse yielding the first dose of poison for the
day. The thing is once the first person whether it�s the cleaner or caterer
or a nurse etc has come in there is always a stream of people then that are
all over the next about 2 hours going to be invading your space for various
things and although there are some that can be ignored if you wish like �Do
You Want A Cup Of Tea�?? Shouted at you with a squeaky, high pitched quite
often Asian twang that will wake the dead, Mmmm maybe that�s a bad example??
But there is usually the medication then the food then the cleaner who
always insists on coming in just to empty the bin, which is more often a
waste of time as it doesn�t get used much and besides they are coming back
in a while to clean the room, can�t they do It then?? They always always
BANG down the metal lid too which is by far the best alarm clock I have ever
seen too, I will have to invent one that makes the same noise I will be onto
a good earner!!

Right, that�s morning out of the way apart from the deadly quiet hour or so
between 10.30 and 11.30am when nothing ever seems to happen and in fact it
all seems to go deadly quiet.

Okay now we are on to Lunchtime.. Ahhhhh LUNCHTIME!!!!

I look forward to Friday lunch in here, which you may find remarkable I
know, but the things is they serve up one of my favourite meals of Cob In
Batter, Chips and Peas and due to the nature of it they can hardly get it
wrong too so its usually quite nice dare I say it??

Well today it was just my luck that the Porter turned up at 11.30 to take me
to have a CT Scan which was cutting it fine to be able to get back in time
so I was not too amused and when I mentioned it to the nurse in X-Ray she
just said well can�t they get me a sandwich. Well I won�t tell you what my
reply was but it was not oh yeah lets have one of their delicious
sandwiches!!!

After a short wait thankfully I was under starters orders and we were off
into the Tunnel Of Love for a few pictures of my 5yr old Lungs. Maybe they
might find something else usefull in there while there at it?? It was a bit
awkward to get off and on the trolley and I had to sit with my legs propped
right up and my head raised slightly otherwise I wouldn�t have been able to
breathe which usually proves to be quite necessary. It seemed no sooner
than I had turned up that we were back off to the ward after signing a few
autographs for some enduring Blog Fans along the way.

To my great relief when I got back the Caterer hadn�t been around yet,
Phew!!! �Ah I Hear The Distant Trundling Of The Trolley� �What Do You Want
For Lunch Then�? �I got Chicken or Mince Beef & Onion�. Well I was waiting
for the AND??? But when I didn�t come I asked �Don�t you have any Fish
then�? �No they are all gone. I did 7 Pieces too and in fact I was hoping
for one myself� 7 bloody pieces is that all she did for a ward of 28 beds
and that was including the one she wanted for herself??? I�m sure it is not
just me that would jump at the chance of maybe the only half decent meal of
the week, well it proved that because she said they all went on North side
(the ward is split into 2 for those that don�t know North is the Bone Marrow
Transplant section and South is the general Haematology end really). Well I
was gutted and had to go for the next best option of chicken, and at least
there were chips and peas left. Well no sooner had I started to eat it that
Merlin turned up for his usual Pre Weekend Poke And Prod Session but this
time he had brought a few students with him to test them out a bit. He is
as sadistic as me sometimes and takes great pleasure in presenting them
probably the worse example of all the bad things that can happen to you Ha
Ha Ha!! Why does he always have to turn up when I am eating though Grrrrrrr
I recon he must have the room bugged and waits till he hears the Caterer
then casually waits a minute or so before pouncing.

Apart from showing off his prowess to the students there wasn�t much
discussed only that things are going as planned at the moment and he will
have to wait to get a detailed diagnosis on the Scan from the X-Ray team and
then they will contact the Chest Team to seek their advise as to the next
move.

And to be honest that was that. Judith came in for a while with some Ya!!es
for me to munch on later and we had a nice natter. She has a bit of a cold
at the moment so didn�t stay too long as she was quite tired and wanted to
go and try sleep it off. I wasted no time in tucking into my Fresh Cream
Scone and will shortly be polishing off my Seafood Sandwiches as the Curry
for tea, which rather strangely had little or no fat on it compared to that
mince the other day when it wouldn�t look out of place on a curry after all
was rather well lets just say HORRIBLE!! Leaving me starving again.

I wonder if I send in a bill for all of my expenses for food etc as a result
of their more often than not un edible excuse for food that they will
reimburse me?? Might be worth a try!!

See Ya!!
