    • Thanks, Miss Sandy. Hey, I told the nurses here that I know Cederq, all that got me was a “Pffttt!”
      Then I said Nurse Sandy’s name: “Oowahh!” for instant cred.

  2. No damm Wonder ya got Problumz, Duude.. In the frikken hospital and Working! Looka that hero,,running Two vacuum cleaners!

    • G’day Nolan, that’s my hospital wheelie-walker handles. I keep falling down, due to a crushed spinal cord and damaged spine, and bad knees (like most readers of Phil’s blog).
      If any of the hot nurses see me trying to walk without one, I get spoken to severely, with much finger wagging.
      Of course any sexual innuendo or cheek from me sometimes prompts that too, but they think that they’re safe with the old farts.

      • Yeah, man, I knew what I was looking at. I was hoping you might get a giggle out of my reply. The situation you’re in,I was hoping to lighten the mood a bit. I’m not doing great myself, and I know how much a little time, distracted from the realities of it all can mean.
        Keep Swingin,
        You haven’t gone too far afoul until they make you an appointment with HR.

        • I’m a bit slow on the uptake sometimes, sorry. That one went straight past to the wicket-keeper.
          I once worked at a company big enough to have a worksite, state and national HR department under their corporate umbrella. I’m not exactly a fan of such a system, and I’m too dumb to keep my laughing gear shut, just ask Cederq.

    • Well I’m trying, Mr Igor. The nurse ladies say that I’m very trying. Nowadays you must wear the narc units in Cardiac Care, they transmit your medical data in real time. I imagine that the ECG data units have 24-hour connectivity in your hospitals too.

      • Indeed they do, leastways in the Cardiac Unit.

        The monitoring technology came from the Space Program….

        • Even with all the medical telemetry it wasn’t possible to determine who had left the “mystery turd” on the Apollo 10 mission. All three astronauts denied it, but there it was, floating over the control panel…

  4. The well wishes are coming your way.
    Tell that heart to get off it’s ass and get back to work.
    You’ve still got too much living to do.

  5. Hang in there mate. Despite our occasional clashes over the years, the discourse is appreciated. Keep chasing them nurses, especially the older ones. Despite what they say, they appreciate the attention as long as it doesn’t interfere with the work of getting you better.

    Are they putting stents in?

    • Stents? Maybe, I already have five in there, acute atrial fibrillation being an issue right now.
      As for clashes, Nemo, I’m heartily jealous of your constitution and it’s various amendments. What an even better country you’d have if your politicians, bureaucrats, government agents and police believed in and protected that same constitution that they swore to uphold!
      Individuals have no real human rights in my country, despite our nations sharing a common history.
      I do have a real fear of what the ASIO federal spooks, the Federal cops and State police forces can do here. Government sanctioned murder is a real thing, check out the facts behind any of the mass killings here, yet the normies keep buying the official storyline: it’s much the same in each of our Five Eyes countries.
      Nemo, the feds have such a fear of the bottomless pit of unregistered guns here, that they were prepared to stage the Bondi massacre* to justify even further control of already registered and controlled guns.
      *Just who was that third gunman?: the bloke who smoothly did the real damage with unhurried shots yet was not fired at by the coppers, and who laid his rifle down and then calmly walked away from the scene. The Feds say that no such person existed, that video footage from unrelated observers is just fakery by conspiracy pushers.

  6. “Well I’m trying, Mr Igor. The nurse ladies say that I’m very trying.”
    Well, you still got your sense of humor kicking so you must be doing okay.
    The wife and I are praying for a miraculous recovery for you Mr. Johno.

    • Thank you, Karl. Your prayers must be strong, for your assistance has helped out Cederq in the past. I mean, if ever there was a hopeless case, you’ve got evidence right there.

  7. You know Johno, you are supposed to send the pictures of your pet to the email address below… Damn son, they let you up and stalking the sisters and old ladies that come and visit their friends and loved ones? So, you were wrassling some salties and over-exerted yourself and your old, and I mean ancient ticker decided to remind you you are not the young, strapping, handsome bloke you once were?

    You know, that hospital gown is open in the back and I am sure the sisters have long since got tired of looking at the what the good Lord split ya…

    You know what my professional instructions will be, obey the sisters, your doc and you better get well, the only decent witty repartee around here is you, me and old semi conscience Deathray. None of these new whippersnappers around here have the intellectual and sarcastic chops we were famous for.

    • I would like to point out, No wonder you keep falling down, your vacuum cleaner walker handles are too short for your build, you should be slightly bending your elbows and the handles should be waist high. Do I need to come down there and teach them sisters and your PT and OT departments on proper mobility assistance devices? Does the hospital recoup some of the cost of your admissions by you vacuuming around your floor? When do you get reassigned to washing dishes?

      • I washed dishes and cleaned the sink after making my last cup of tea. The leaf of the Camelia is quite useful, though I prefer it as hot tea, properly brewed and steeped from black tea leaf, none of this new-fashioned green tea for me. Vegemite and billy tea made Australia great.
        Cederq, I gave you ammo by posing in the lilac mu-mu that the hospital nurses made me wear. I’m rather suspicious of their story, that previous hospital patients stole all the shorts of the men’s pyjamas to take home, thereby exposing all the male emergency patients to ogling by the girl nurses.

    • I don’t think that Deathray trusts you still, Cederq, after carelessly exposure of his moose stew photo. You do know that it’s not true about his moose meat originally being roadkill? I mean, by strict definition alone, roadkill is supposed to be dead, and not bellowing and trying to get up as he’s carving great bloody chunks of muscle and fat from it’s poor body.

  8. Get better and don’t forget to request the fullpull sponge bath, those are bell ringers!!

    • I was already feeling a bit shy after getting my groin shaved, at least it was by a young attractive nurse, who was careful with the razor, at least.
      I’m waiting for the video to appear on Nurse Sandy’s Porno For Girls website.

      • I would post your video but I don’t want to scare or traumatize the viewers 😁.

        Glad to see you still have your wicked sense of humor. Laughter is the best medicine!

        Get well.

        • Two comments by Nurse Sandy??
          Now that’s gotta be better than a frontal lobotomy from Nurse Ratchet!
          My angio work failed, Miss Sandy. The doctor lady says that I must use drugs instead, just not any of the happy ones.
          At least they only used my wrist for access this time, although I was ready for the embarrassing groin one. That is, embarrassing for all the girls in the operating theatre, as they swoon when the covers come open!

  9. You’re definitely one of the luckier ones. My Dad only had one heart attack. Get well soon!

    • Bugger, I’m sorry to hear that, oldvet.
      I wish that I was younger, fitter, quicker with the cheeky reparteé with the nurses. I also wish that I could see properly, at least well enough to aim a gun. By

    • Thanks, clay. Gee, I wish that it were the young nurses who were rooting for me!
      See: root, rooting, in Aussie colloquial speech.

  11. Get well, Johno.
    I mean, who else is going to send me Aussy hot rods to lust over.
    Hoping for a speedy recovery.

    Leigh
    Whitehall, NY

    • Righty-oh then, Leigh. I mean, who else will expose you to the hot Aussie Valiant muscle cars?
      Although I do admit that the Barra turbo-boosted version of the Ford 250c.i. or Alloy Head 4.1L inline straight-six engine turns the old Ford Falcons into rocket ships.

      • That was a really nice engine that Ford Australia kept for themselves.

        The US version had a horrible cylinder head with a cast-in “log” manifold, and the rest of it wasn’t anything to brag about, either. Ak Miller compensated for that by turbocharging at insane pressures. The bottom ends were tough and seldom had a problem.

    • Thank you, Judy. I’m glad that you and Sandy are around here to add the joint a bit of class, it’s sorely needed.
      Not to blame Cederq too much though, he’s still dreaming about that Salvo girl he met one Christmas.

    • Thank you, BCCL. I don’t want to give our Feds here any impression that I’m very tough, though. They managed to cripple me, blind me and break my wallet.
      Maybe I could sneak close and stub one’s toe with my wheelie-walker?
