I'll be sure and drop you off a power saw for it - if it's anything like the MK hospital food; still chewing that bugger from 2 years ago LOL
Get well soon, matey.
With the exception of the toast on the ward all the food was really good, in fact the whole hospital experience was really good.
I have sadly experienced the other end of the scale in Hereford hospital and Worcester hospital.
The pain is under control and I'm enjoying the immediate improvements.

How can you have bad toast??
That’s perfect toast. Should never be more than ‘frightened’ bread.
Balderdash.
Best toast is hot so the butter melts and soaks in. Then, either a thin smear of marmite or cherry jam. Event better is peanut butter with a thin spread of cherry jam on top of that.
"Ward lights come on a 07:00 immediately followed by the grumpy bitch with soggy toast and cornflakes. Daft nurse saying your blood pressure is low have you been drinking water during the night"
Ward lights and breakfast at 7.00 ? Not for me stuck in Guys hospital at present. 6.00 am breakfast and nil by mouth thereafter till after the "procedure", originally booked for yesterday but cancelled without me being told. So nil by mouth yesterday till after 4.00, though then I didn't even get breakfast.
Daft nurse? Mine has been requiring a (finger) prick test every morning for last two for diabetes. When I go for procedure, junior doctor says to me, oh your diabetic. No I'm not I said. Why have you been doing a test then he asks the nurse, whose grasp of English and ability to read seems limited. Reply unclear ( well like much of what she says).
Food? I think it's about as good as my school food 50 years ago. Which translates into poor.
Fellow patients. Neighbour put on some wailing music at 6.00 am presumably morning prayer, after which he proceeds to shout down his phone. Thank god he went home today.
So yes, not happy. But the doctors specialise in kidney stuff which is what I need, so have to put up with it.

Thanks mate, I'm hoping to go home tomorrow, but no one seems to know...
Pinderfields have banned toast
1. Does the idiot nurse have big tits?
2. Punch twat neighbour patient in face.
3. Good luck and speedy recovery.
This type of toast works even better when an event is taking place. Duh, obvious much!
I went into hospital a week early for a preop, taking weight, height, urine sample and stuff, in preparation to do an umbilical hernia repair.
when it came to a quick finger prick blood test the nurse said oops! Let me do it again, wash your hands and I’ll do a different finger. Did that and she then said I need to get your urine sample checked. 10 minutes later said she has just cancelled my operation as I’m too ill to operate on. Apparently I was extremely hyperglycaemic diabetic with an HbA1c reading of 146. Well that didn’t mean owt to me, but every doctor I saw within the next couple of weeks were amazed I had no symptoms, not tired, not overweight etc. If you’re normal the reading should be 46 or below. It took 9 months to get me down to a level where they could knock me out and operate. That was nearly 4 years ago, I’m going in for my 6 months update on Monday.
