Tweed, how are you doing on *your* road to recovery from surgery?  Has the
blood from the hemorrhage cleared up yet?  How is your vision, is it
improving still?  We're still sending purrs, cyber hugs, happy thoughts, and
meatloaf meditations that you'll continue to improve swiftly and completely.

Hugs,

CatNipped

Hi, CatNipped

The blood has cleared a bit, and I now see everything in sepia tones, but
blurred.  I hit another complication last weekend, experienced a lot of
pain.  Investigations showed that the pressure inside my eye is too high,
and I now have so much different meds to take that I've had to make a chart
out!  4 lots of drops, 2, 2xday, 1, 4x day, 1, 6x day and 2 different pills
2xday.  Both pills cause drowsiness so I seem to spend quite a lot of time
snoozing..
Next hospital visit Thursday.  My sight is worse than I went in, but better
than when I came out ;-)
A way to go yet.
Thanks for asking.

Awwww!  That's so nice of you.  My first op was for macular hole, in 2001.
Followed by op to get the oil out of my eye 17 weeks later, followed by oh
dear we didn't get all the oil out and you can see fireworks op the next
year.  Followed by we told you you might get a cataract having all this eye
surgery op in May.  Followed by this latest one on Sept 7th - how dare you
get another epiretinal membrane..we thought we'd sorted you out..

Oh, sure they do, they love it.  BF likes me to be here instead of at work,
and Kitty takes advantage of the drowsiness.  She waits until I am
unconscious and perches herself on my chest, purring her head off, extending
a front leg towards my neck and holding on so very gently with her claws
sticking into my bosom and her head pillowed on it.  Thanks Kitty.  It wakes
me up. ;-)
She claims she's doing all these purrs for my benefit.

Continued recovery purrs from Cornwall, too.

BTW It's always been my firm belief that one needs to be extremely fit
and profoundly strong in mind and body to survive a visit to hospital,
and nothing the NHS has ever done to me & mine has provided any
evidence to the contrary.

Blimey, you're right. For one thing I was right next to the nurse's station
:-(   The second thing was the woman in the bed next to mine wasn't an eye
patient but an overflow from another ward, she was 91 and had had a hip
replacement.  She was in pain, and consequently she moaned a lot and I
wondered why they couldn't give her anything strong enough to control it.
She was on half-hourly observations, so nurses were galloping past my bed
every thirty minutes.  I couldn't sleep at all.
She was a very nice old lady, a bit genteel.  She was snoring, but suddenly
stopped about 3 a.m.  A nurse rushed to her bedside.  Blood pressure
taking..puff..puff...puff.  Panic. Rush to phone  Resus, resus.  Loads of
people arrived.  The curtains were closed around the bed.  I thought she was
a gonner for sure and of course it was impossible for me to sleep at all,
both for the noise and because I was worried about her.
They did something or other, and they gave her two units of blood.  In the
morning she got up into her bedside chair to have her breakfast.  Amazing.
I didn't mind being so tired when I saw her still alive and not being able
to decide whether to have tea or coffee with her breakfast.
housekeeper:  Tea or coffee, Josephine?
Josephine: (bear in mind she nearly died)  Hmmm.  Tea or coffee?  I can't
make my mind up, come back to me.

Cor, strike a lite, luv, that's nuffink: on 1 of my 3 long stays (for
spinal ops) I thought I'd cracked it when I was given half a private
side-room, the other bed being empty. Late on my first night they
moved in a geriatric with pneumonia.
I'll spare you the gory details but after some very noisy hours he
died, complete with death rattle. Later I felt so bad I nearly asked
the attending priest for last rites. (And I'm an atheist).

Now hold on a minute ya'all.  My dear sister teaches sixth grade in
Essex and tries her best to get the little kiddies to speak the
Queen's English.  Ya'all can't seem to wait though to play games with
your language.  If you Brits would spend more time on pronunciation
and less time thinking up words that stand for what rhymes with cities
or rhymes about kissing Gypsies, we might not be as separated by a
common language as Eastpondians and Westpondians seem to be.

Fick as a brick is right!  By now I was hoping to see a snappy,
good-natured comeback to what I had hoped were a few witty remarks.
Said comeback being absent fuels my chronic insecurity and prompts me
to state that if I have offended any of our readers from the UK, I'm
deeply sorry.

Regards and Purrs,
O J

PS:  "Fick as a brick" is a colloquial pronunciation of "thick as a
brick", which is used to describe a dunderhead.  It describes the way
I'm feeling right now.  I will leave the  explanation of my references
to Bristols as cities and a Gypsy's kiss to someone from whence these
terms sprung.

PPS:  I can't believe my spellchecker passed "dunderhead".

Well, *I* thought it was funny, but I didn't post anything because I'm

where we are alleged to do some language-mangling ourselves.

A friend from Boston chanced upon an out-of-towner studying a trolley
map of the city and was asked, "Where is Noth Station?  A friend told
me to take the trolley to Noth Station.  I've been looking for it for
a half hour and can't find it."

My friend replied, "Here it is, Noth -- N*O*R*T*H -- Station."

I once had a professor who was from out of state, from Illinois or
somesuch.  For a team exercise, he told us to separate according to
what color car we drove.  When he first said that, I thought, "What
the heck is a 'karr'?", then a lightbulb went on in my head, and I
realized, "Ohh, he means 'cah'".  I thought is sounded like he was
using some terminology from French, or some other language where R's
are rolled. :)

It's OK, OJ, you haven't offended me.  I didn't reply to Gordon as it seemed
you didn't like the Cockney references.  Sometimes I just don't *get*
American humour and I didn't realise you were joking.
Just put it down to my sense of humour being temporarily AWOL as I still
don't feel that good.

LO Auntie Tina, or should that be "me duck"?

Many, many years ago I worked in Burton-on-Trent & lived in Castle
Gresley, above Cadley Hill Colliery (or colloqially oop't'pitbonk),
not far from your home county in the form of Measham. Often I got a
lift to work from a colleague who commuted from Lutterworth. And I
invariably used the A444 (via Sheepcote Magna or Parva IIRC) & A5 to
go home down South as I detested the M1.

Any of these known to you?

I think the English language must be about the hardest for anyone to learn,
it's certainly the quirkiest when it comes to the same string of letters
sounding different in various words.  Take the "ough" string of letters.
There's the "aw" sound as in "thought", there's "ow" as in "bough", there's
"uff" as in "rough", there's "i" as in "sough", there's "off" as in "cough",
and there "o" as in "though" - probably more, but that's all I can think of
now.  Silly language - not to mention the spelling quirks!

Nah, I totally disagree.  As someone who learned English as a second
language, I found it very easy to learn.  All those exceptions that
everyone talks about are not really that many and are easily
remembered.  It certainly is much easier than German, where you have 3
genders and really long and complicated ways of expressing yourself.
And don't even get me started on Thai ;-)

I don't know if this is as well-known outside the US, but have you
heard that "G*H*O*T*I"  is pronounced "fish".

I don't think there's much chance for 20/20 vision, I'd just like to see
detail with that eye.  People's features, (who are you, completely blank
face?)
It's early days yet, after all my op was only 7 Sept and it can take some
time to see an improvement.-  up to 6 months, apparently, and here is me
after less than a fortnight moaning about blurred vision and pain.
Shame on me.  I'm a wimp. I don't have the patience to see what happens

I can understand that. Vision loss is my nightmare. I am visually
oriented and would be lost without it. When I am in total darkness, I
lose my sense of balance and orientation of "up". In my house I have
to have a nightlight. Once, many years ago, i went into the Cave of
the Winds and they took us into this one gallery and turned out the
lights. I was extremely frightened and disoriented. Then the guide lit
a candle. I was crying with relief.

If I could see shadows i could function. Not happily, though. But I
wouldn't be lost as i would with total blindness. But I have saved a
lot of crochet patterns and tons of books and movies for my old age.
Retirement is only 8 years away. Please, Lord, let my eyesight
continue! And while you are at it, please help tweed's vision to heal
quickly. :-)

Much appreciation for the purrs.  You're right, the cats will hate it when I
go back to work, but someone has to pay the bills and put food in their
dishes ;-)

Thanks. I have blank spots as well as blurred vision.  I'm hoping on
Thursday they'll say it's normal at this stage.

Continuing purrs for your sight to improve. It must be so frustrating to
go through all the pain and still not be able to see clearly.

Ah, yes.  That *is* the frustrating part.  In films, someone wakes up from
eye surgery and says "I can see, I can see!!"  That ain't how it happens.
You wake up and wonder if someone can soon come and give you morphine.  You
have a plastic patch and dressing taped over your eye anyway, so even if you
*could" see, you *couldn't* see, if you see what I mean.
You should have seen us all on the eye ward.  As usual I was the youngest
there. The ones who can see the best try and help the ones who can see the
worst.
When the breakfast truck comes round (6 a.m. <sigh>)  the woman driving it
says "what would you like for breakfast?"  Of course, none of us can see
what's on the trolley.  Most say "Toast"   No toast.  Cereals, bananas,
bread and butter with jam or marmalade, yoghurt.  Yuk to all those for
breakfast.  I don't like sweet things.
Breakfast at home would be fruit juice, followed by toast, with either my
own recipe egg spread on, or cheese.
Bread and jam for breakfast?  <shudder>

Oh, I thought that was what people in the UK always ate for breakfast.
:o) That's what they've always offered at the B&Bs I've ever stayed at.
Toast and two or three different kinds of jam (+the 'full English' with
eggs and bacon and tomatoes and mushrooms).

Eeeek.  You were offered jam on your toast?  Diabolical. In B&B's marmalade
should be the only option.
This is the really proper English breakfast. Fruit juice.  Bacon, eggs,
sausage, tomato, fried bread. After that, toast, with marmalade.  Not jam.
Then a lovely cup of tea. It tastes like nectar after a fry-up such as this.
