Well I sure did not plan this but I be in the hospital and will be until this coming Monday or Tuesday. that's 6/23 or 6/24 or 23/06 or 24/06 whatever date format you may use.
I have developed Ventricular Tachycardia  ! The doctors cannot really explain how or why, it just is. Oh! If anyone ever suggests to anyone of you that you should join those of us that have this condition I recommend you turn them down very quickly. It's not too pleasent.
One nice side effect is I have had a great time driving as many nurses and aids as loonie as possible. 
Another nice this is this hospital provides WiFi internet access. So now that I have my laptop here I can check e-mail ; post this; bad side is they won't let me leave it on 24/7 planting shrubs. Oh well the other 2 systems appear to be running kinda ok
And also a little brag looks like I got up to 197 on the team in RAC! I thought you guys were going to gang up on me and keep me out of the top 200! 
Plant more shrubs!

You don't need a hospital, Strabo.
Not when you have this...
and these...
 
and a bit of this...
all at your disposal at the Looney Sanitorium. 
Hope you're feeling better soon!
Congrats on the RAC!

And they said you were heartless...... 
I hope you feel better soon! Don't even think of letting Michelle operate on you. If you think it might be a good idea, ask the pumpkin how it turned out....
Are the nurses cute?

Funny you should ask that. I was just thinking about that before I read your note. The answer to your query is Most definetely cute. What I was wondering about is the fact this is a "Heart Hospital" and was the management up to something by hiring such a stunning staff? Like giving all the patients (mostly male) heart attacks? thereby keeping more patients in the hospital for longer times! 
I certainly have no compaints re the scenery here. Added to this are Michelle's Rescue ointment, Multi purpose grease and "Ye Olde Rasslin' Pit" and goodness me  my heart (and yes it appears I do have one) just about can't take it!
In fact I am bored out of my mind!! (yes it appears I have one of those too). I am used to working 12-13 hours a day at a reasonably brisk pace. Here they might let me walk 20 ft down the hall and back, then sit on my b*** for a couple of hours. Phoooey!! (The language here should be a bit stronger but after the mental images of Michelle's pictures and the nursing staff I just can't deal with anymore right now.)
Plant more SHRUBS!
Thank you for your kind thoughts.

Job security I think is how they term it. Make it work for you. Suddenly find the need for them to have to give you a bronsky.

Belenis - Just because he mentioned that the nurses are cute doesn't mean you have to make a special trip to check them out!! 
Just get back to being a normal loonie real soon, Sir Strabo.

I guess you will have to educate them about it. Think of the opportunity. You would need many, many hours to just scratch the surface. Think of all the personal attention you will require from them. I know it will be hard work, but I feel you are up to it.

Excuse me- do YOU want to be in the hospital with all the nurses walking the halls yelling "Bring Out Your Dead"?

Or maybe your're in a hospital like this*.
* If so, my most sincere condolances to you. (Have your next-of-kin been informed?)

So, I think the best thing we can do is go to the hospital and explain that nurses who Monty Python are.
Who wants to come?

According to Mapquest I'm ~1400. It might take me little longer, but it beats going to work....

This might sound a bit 'wrong' but that would be hilarious!
Imagine the kerfuffle. Of course, you couldn't do it in the ICU.

Well, er well not quite well but better. I am back out of the hospital, a bit late but late is better than never ! The Dr.s' decided I needed an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (to me it sounds like something invented for a Monty Python skit) I guess it's best descibed as a Pacemaker on STEROIDS. Once they put that thing in they kept me exceptionally well - loonie for a couple of days. They have all of these interesting chemical substances that slightly (OK totally) alter reality. I know I spoke with John Cleese for several hours about an impending invasion by the Ringaloids of Saturn, or maybe it was the other way around.
Anyway I am back, weak as a kitten, can't work for at least 2 more weeks. That's very frustrating. If I sit down and do nothing I'm fine ready to go, I get up and go and I've got 10 - 15 minutes before POOF! all the energy is gone. AARRRRGGGGHHHHH!
By the way has anyone else noticed that emergency rooms like to fill you full of those interesting chemical substances and THEN ask you to sign the forms saying it's OK for them to do that?
Happy shrubbing (maybe not in public )

No, come along to any casualty room in the UK and you'll find that the pond life have already filled themselves full of booze and drugs already and are in no further need of the freebies on offer !!!
Ni!

So you object to them filling you with interesting chemicals?
