Get Well for Jazzgeek

Hey gang, THANK YOU SO MUCH for all your well wishes, smartarse graphics, and support. I've posted a prognosis in the "Rat Poison" thread, and yep, I'm going stir crazy here. Fortunately, they have this machine in the "family center" in the corner of the ward.

The only other bizarro-world thing to report is that my swing shift RN is trying to set me up with her friend.

I find it ironic that I'm having better luck in my 40s at a hospital than I did in my 20s at the bars.:grin01:

regards,
jazz

Perhaps it's because you're not up to your usuall level of wise-acre? Plus, they haven't known you long enough...:grin01:


hurry up and get well! :)

Well, I guess I'll post in this one since it's longer now...

Hang in there, Dale. My old man spent a week lying in bed while they waited for a clot to get out of his system, that was kind of frightening for me; but 12 years later he's still doing fine (in that regard anyway). Other thought is that I don't see 'thrombo's too often, but I remember in Dharma Bums that Jack Kerouac talked about his thrombophlebitis and standing on his head to relieve it, if that's related at all (not a recommendation tho').

So, there's your rambling sympathy card from me. Get better pronto.

Nice to see you're keeping a sense of humor over this. At 50, I'm just pretty much waiting for a major malfunction :grin01:

Get well soon :cheers:
 
Dale

Hey Dale!

I would imagine, even for you Dale, it's hard to be a smart arse when you're on the receiving end of a catheter.:eek:
 
So, that's where you've been hiding. Well, get your behindquarters back here. Poor Roy's having to pick up your slack. :sidestep:


Srsly, get well soon! ... !!!!! :wavey: !!!!!

:grin01:
 
Your nurses are trying to date you? I usually just let the students practise their skills on the funny ones!

Well, I'd put it a little differently - something like "you tend to pass by the snarky comments when you see an object large enough in your lung that, if one-tenth of it were to break off and flow up to your brain, it would render you into a drooling inanimate mass, if it gave you mercy enough to let you live" - but yeah, truer words have not been spoken.

Oh, I'm sorry. Did I break anyone's concentration? :wavey:

regards,
jazz
 
So, did they let you out yet? Did your sister tell you that I called, and how surprised I sounded to hear a woman answer your phone? hehe

Well, my swing shift nurse is married...but wants to set me up with a friend.

But she DID mention, when she asked if I had any fear of needles and I told her no, that she was pleased to hear that since a class of student nurses would be on the ward tomorrow. :grin01:

Nothing like being a human pincushion when you're on blood thinners. ;)
