Knew I loved you for a reason, joe
It won’t be reciprocated, I know, since I think I shall henceforth call you Buffy. Or Buffers.
See, Janie, I am alive, kicking and kickable. And I have cleaned the fridge.

Hurrah! forra busy culinary Fish, feeding the needy on Good Things.
We’ve all known Pasty Whores, I reckon. Some people would do anything for a bit of home baking.
O gawd, the washing machine is making woo-woo noises. I didn’t put a ghost into it.
Maybe the incumbent one objects to lavender, or something.
Right. A Gus needs Strong Drink. Brace yerself, Tesco!

You silver-tongued flatterer, you.
Actually, you need all the silver you can get, Buffers dere - stops wee bacterial beasties from their unwelcome frolicking.
And I do wish your little pets would give over, dammit.

Meanwhile, it appears the correct cocktail of antibiotics has been found. I had a fun ride on my new bed all the way to x-ray in the middle of the night (just back on ward now). More bloods taken, this time for cultures, so it will be 48 hours before I know the results. Fingers crossed…

Everything crossed here Joe
Ever seen a parrot with crossed claws trying to hang on her perch?
She can’t and is uttering gentle squawks of incredible volume about this
I really should not larf at the thought of your funfair trip to X-ray but I am picturing porters playing dodgems with the beds and wheelchairs
And scoring by the number of screams from the impatients
I am convinced that is what they do

And now the cannula has become dislodged and has to be replaced. The medics have decided to take the opportunity to get the remaining bloods they failed to harvest earlier.
Two have made the attempt so far, both fallers.
Could be a long night…
PS
Did I mention the oxygen mask and nebuliser? Playing safe because I tick a few of the “sepsis risk” boxes; personally, I put the wheeziness down to a week spent sharing hit, dry, recycled air with a bunch of sick people. It’s like being on a nine-day flight…

Falling among thieves in one thing. Falling among inefficient blood thieves is quite another. And what about the patient getting some rest? She asked useless!y.
Fond hugs joe. I would almost boil meself but not sure I can trust this bunch to make a proper Hollandaise.
This is where we suck our teeth and despair
a bit and are rescued from our misery by cute kindergartners.

These are buttered and stuffed with bacon and sossiges
I am carefully wrapping a bottle of Gunpowder gin each for the parcels
Right everyone bacon butties ready

When I asked this, whilst visiting the Mothership, I was … through gritted nursing teeth … that this “didn’t meet certain cultural expectations”.
In other words, they’ve tried to manage this but met resistance louder than it was worth.
