Bluestocking - the second leg

[ErrolTheDragon]

The original premises are getting crowded, we need to expand.

Welcome all women, and well behaved animals.

That sounds great fun. I'm currently with ifIwerenotanandroid, though, and Sweating for Britain so will stay here and keep some pensioners warm.

Packed already. Sloe and raspberry.

Apparently the wonders of quantum allow you to be in the Bluestocking and Greenland at the same time...probably.

Yes planning to be both places so if I get cold will warm up here.

Alas no. I've been packing my hospital bag. And today I've been experiencing the joy of the day before the operation Picolax bowel cleaning preparation.

I'm very familiar with the bathroom this afternoon!

Hope all goes well tomorrow.

I'm a pensioner. Get yer hot selves over 'ere.
Pretty please.

And special bathroom love for @Boiledbeetle .

And to anyone else having a shit time, either literally or metaphorically.

😁 my bottom hates me right now!

As things consumed in the Bluestocking don't count in real life (I'm at the clear liquids only, no food and no alcohol, no fizzy drinks stage of the process) I'll think whilst I'm here I'll have a nice sherry, a pint of full fat Coke and a beef dinner with extra Yorkshire puddings.

@Chersfrozenface fingers crossed! I'm trying not to freak out as last time I had this particular operation the surgeon screwed up and I died on my way back into the operating room to correct the fuck up, so I've been La La La ing my way through the last few weeks, I mean law of averages should mean they can't accidentally kill me twice!!!!! I hope!

Bollocks!! That wasn't supposed to be in bigly letters!

I liked the big letters.
I've spent a few days having eye tests and resesrching cataract surgery, so big letters suit me fine.

I think it was very appropriate to have bigly letters for such a statement. Not so much the emoji.

Good luck for tomorrow, I think I'm "clearing out" in sympathy because I'm sure it's not down to what I've eaten today 😷

EDIT - oh goodness to the bit to Cher. Hand hold and lots of hugs ❤

Fucking hell @Boiledbeetle wishing you all the best please let us know you are okay.

I'm just out of hospital myself - what a rough time at the Bluestocking! It's more Whitestocking - you know those ones they put on you in hospital to stop you from getting DVT or something. Total glamour bypass🙄 Not to mention the revealing gowns😄
Sláinte, good health to all.

I hate those stockings! At least the gowns allow for a regular air flow which is great for the hot flushes!

I hope you are on the mend! 💐

What a bunch of crocks we all are!

Last time I had an op the stockings were dark green, which I thought was more stylish than white. OTOH I had to suffer the blow-up-wheeze-down things on my legs all night (if I had Boily's way with fonts 'all night' would be in bigly letters - bigly, bigly, nightmarish letters).

I'm standing behind you now, Fuzz. Let me know when the heat gets too much, with the traditional cry, "Is it me or is it hot in here?".😁😳

Oh wow, Boily! All the best for tomorrow. I'm putting off booking my third one, so that's very cheery news that they can kill you. I knew there was an outside chance, but... Stay with us, dearest Beetle. (Well, apart from those times when you've got to dash off to the bog. Do what you gotta do.)

A message to all. (I see the AI's spelling hasn't improved.)

My insides have not taken too well to lots of travel and rich food. I have a form of lymphocytic colitis, which is Such Fun - so I am empathising with everyone else suffering similarly and bigly.

We have just got home, and I can’t wait to go to sleep,in my own bed. Dh has been a star, looking after me and doing all the driving, and it was (mainly) lovely to see family, but I do like my home. It has all my books and yarn in it, and Outside is too people-y.

Does the Bluestocking have a medical annexe?

( Can you imagine the havoc we would all cause if we were all on the same ward irl?)

Cosy now, thanks @ifIwerenotanandroid

Not another one! Oh dear, this is turning into the Bluestocking Memorial Hospital.

I promise you, this was the most sensible image of the seven AI came up with.

<radiates> You're welcome, @FuzzyPuffling ! <radiates>

Silly me, that should've been a quokka.

That's better.

Oh wow....I really, REALLY want gerbil nurses now.

And a quokka Matron!

And no men.
