Rubylady

Yes - it is always frustrating in hospital that you cannot do the health things as you do at home. I too found it annoying in hospital that they would not acknowledge that I had spent 50 years dealing with my IBS and I know best what is needed and when. All that counts for nothing - they have their rules and that is that!

Hope the new investigation goes well - at least you know they are being methodical and thorough, which is very reassuring.

I'm sat in my gown, but it really isn't my colour!

And for good measure I blocked the sink in my room with a cherry tomato last night!

Speak later buds Xxx

All the best, ruby

Is "cherry tomato" a euphemism for something Ruby? For the life of me I cannot imagine why one would block a sink. Obviously haven't lived.

Yes I agree with anno. They are proceeding with caution. Ooh those laxatives are horrible. Maybe good thing you're in a room on your own?. Up to page 12 of the Rubylady thread - how's that for popularity?? I'm enjoying all the jokes too.
I'm sure you're asleep now but hope you feel as well as it's possible to when you wake up. Also hope this procedure has determined the next step and that it will be carried out quickly. Lots of love and thinking of you.

Still waiting. Surgeons been, it's going to be full open heart surgery. Shocked and upset. I've a Z aorta instead of curved and two flaps on it instead of three. I knew nothing about this. X

Oh Ruby I wish I could come and sit with you. What a bugger. I know these ops are common and you'll be fine but I know it's not what you were expecting. Thanks for keeping us up to speed with things. Make a good recovery and get back to us when you can. Xx

All the best ruby

I am really cross with myself that I didn't ask Ruby to authorise my asking for information when I ring for news of her. I could lie and say I am a relative but that just isn't me. When I rang last week when she had been moved I was asked my relationship and it was only when I could give her approximate age that I was told they would put me through to her phone.
She really has very few contacts and if she is in intensive care a few days I will be cut off from contact. I do not like that. I just hope she makes a good recovery and is soon back in touch.

Ann you have been doing a sterling job , we are all rooting for Ruby and wishing her well
