No woodwork for a while

[Carry Pine]

Oh its not just tall people with MRI machines I have broad shoulders I could not fit in one here in Liverpool hospital. We have a NSW minister bulk purchased when he was health minister who has just resigned to thank for all those undersized MRI machines. However those Asians of Cabramatta fit neatly.

Yeh, but I bet you didn't go in on the last Friday before Christmas like I did and I swear they forgot me. When I finally came out they were all p&^%ed and the nurses were all chirpy.
Did someone say music? All I got was hammering- probably the guy next door trying to get out. They forgot him too.

#*%$....Unday! Hope you mend quick and well, best wishes!

[rsser]

Underfoot, I'm glad you've lived to tell the tale.

What a sod. What a scare.

Mortality came knocking and your Camry blew it off.

...

For claustrophobes like me, if the thing is happening in a hospital I tell them that I'll throw up all over their machine if they don't provide a sedative.

If I have some notice I take a valium. The Doc is happy to prescribe. My teeth aren't the best cos I always hated having a mouth full of the dentist's hardware; couldn't care less about the pain. Since the valium discovery it's all smooth sailing.

God Undie, I hope the Mrs picked you up a lottery ticket when she got the chair. Just glad to hear you're ok (well other than having the cr_p beaten out of you). Now stop winging and get back to work!! I bet we see some enlighted work from you in the next pieces Get well soon mate.

[Scally]

Ouch....I can feel my teeth rattling.

So lucky to be able to sit around and talk about it.

All the best.


Will we be seeing a big Mer-Camry carving/sculpture in the near future.

(I'm heading up to Bellingen on Friday to see David's sculpture in the Council park.)

NO WOODWORK??? When are you going to find time to do bloody woodwork when you should be so completely occupied celebrating that you are still alive. Goodonya pal!

[springwater]

Just a little something to help pass a little time with Undy

Best wishes Undi. I look forward to seeing your next sculpture titled "crumpled giant"

[underfoot]

Thanks for all the well wishes folks
everything's healing up as per google search (and doctors prognosis),
the unexpected onset of tourettes (when I cough, sneeze or laugh) is also going away

Some more things I've discovered during convalescence.

1...life is good
2...Inactivity and underfoot are natural enemies, (some blokes should not be allowed too much time to ...just....sit...and..... think...)
3...using downtime wisely and the interweb is a contradiction
4...mates that drop around and see if they can make me laugh are still mates...(the bastards).
5...did I mention that life is good

[Frank&Earnest]

...using downtime wisely and the interweb is a contradiction

Yep.

[rsser]

Well, you could look at the experience and plumb it for lessons about getting older and less able. The inactivity thing is a real challenge in my book.

[Cliff Rogers]

Life is good & it is good to see you still have yours big fella.

I have had 2 people try to clobber me on the road so far, lucky for me, neither them or I we not traveling at any speed.
Both times it has been the other person's fault, they went through a red light.
Both times the car I have been in has had to be towed from the site.

I still count my lucky stars.

[Groggy]

Ouch! Glad you are still with us underfoot and I am sure your family feels the same way. What happens to Mr Invulnerable - will he be charged?

[BobL]

I can really identify with the inactivity bit, and all I have stopping me are two detached tendons on the finger tips of my index and middle finger of my left hand. I'm wearing these little plastic splints and Doc says no using my left hand for the next 6 weeks for anything other than dressing myself and yes I can use a keyboard!

Compounded by being physically away from my shed for the last 3 months I'm frustrated as hell by this. Of course I could always get stuck into my day job backlog but that just doubles the frustration! ARRGGGGH!!!!

[rsser]

Bob, what a sod!

How'd it happen?

Maybe start a new thread so as not to detract from UF's brush with irrelevance mortality.
