Royal Berkshire enforced holiday.

[makropulos]

Best wishes, Bryn. Hope you mend quickly! And enjoy the enforced listening time...

[Serial_Apologist]

Best wishes for tomorrow, Bryn.

[french frank]

Belated sympathy - in case you're able to stay in touch - I didn't guess what the thread title meant (thought you meant the county)

Come back soon!

[Jonathan]

Hope you are back on your feet again soon Bryn!

[Dave2002]

Just read this - and wondered if it was about a strike somewhere!

Very best wishes - and hope the NHS gets you sorted out quickly.

Come back as soon as you can.

[Barbirollians]

Ouch - hope all goes well.

I'm not planning on being away from the forum. I had time to make sure I have my smart phone and charger. No restrictions on their use here at the Royal Berkshire Hospital.

[Padraig]

Probably too late to wish you the traditional greeting for a good performance in the theatre - and anyway you have already done that yourself - so here's to a swift exit with no encores and a queue of well-wishers bearing gifts.

[Historian]

However, the Royal Berkshire A & E got me sorted very quickly. Hurrah for the NHS on this occasion.

Glad to hear they did well by you; they have looked after several of my close relatives over the years. Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery.

May you mend and set quickly!
When you said it was a power cable, I thought it might be one of Russ Andrews' thicker hosepipes - Bryn a closet audiophile, who knew?

(A few misadventures for me too just now - diagnosed with malignant hypertension and at the GPs thrice-weekly for checks, on heavy meds...
Local taxi service is doing well out of it...)

Anyway, what's the food like - or are you having it sent in...?

Food surprisingly good. I chose the Afro-Caribean menu today: curry goat. Not at all bad for hospital food.

[umslopogaas]

Bryn, get well soon. We've exchanged a few messages recently, and I'm sorry to hear about this accident, it could so easily have been me. I live alone and am very conscious of the dangers of trips and machines.

But the curry goat sounds delicious, I worked a bit in the Caribbean and I remember that goat is very tasty!

Good news.

It's occurred to me in the past (e.g. when cycling round the Aldwych ) that if something nasty (but not too nasty) happened and I was laid up in 'dock', then in these days of infinite wireless/virtual enjoyment - as long as there is decent WiFi and I can have my MacBook Pro and my noise excluding headphones - I would have no difficulty recuperating and taking as damn well long as I liked about it! Indeed subject to suitable quantities of painkillers of sufficient efficacy, it sounds like my idea of a good time!

The chance to get into Haydn Quartets, and a multitude of other pieces I've been meaning to listen to, would be a silver lining indeed.

And if the food's not too bad, into the bargain...

Make the most of it Bryn!

[Tony Halstead]

Sincerest best wishes for a full and speedy recovery, Bryn. Hoping you can still access 'the boards' while recuperating.

Fingers crossed for your operation. Maybe nearly over by now, and skilful hands preparing themselves for another patient...
All the very best.
