As an American case manager/discharge planning nurse I can tell you that had you been an American citizen your health insurance company (if you were lucky enough to have any insurance, the hospital where I work charges $1900 US/day) would want you moved asap to a nursing home. These nursing homes do rehab/long term skilled nursing ie wound care, intravenous medications. Your chances of infection, complication could significantly rise in a place like that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3835152205968344114.post-26755568330236070962009-09-22T11:19:04.277+01:002009-09-22T11:19:04.277+01:00Youre a libertarian ( Now more than ever I need t...Youre a libertarian ( Now more than ever I need to speak to you face to face)<br /><br />Im head of the media unit for the Libertarian PartyHenry North London 2.0https://www.blogger.com/profile/14748991488145468593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3835152205968344114.post-90114198922957447842009-09-22T10:42:29.648+01:002009-09-22T10:42:29.648+01:00Well personally I'm very much in favour of an ...Well personally I'm very much in favour of an institution that incarcerated (and worse) Peston, Littlejohn, and Brillo Pad! <br /><br />Hope you manage to escape before they arrive though.Elainehttp://www.elaineswift.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3835152205968344114.post-6189520015873494802009-09-22T10:31:30.601+01:002009-09-22T10:31:30.601+01:00They can't do a Kelly or PoW on me.

So, how to get you out-well, you have a nice brick wall outside your window-perfect for absailing down, a quick shove off with the foot & in through the window bearing tray of decent fodder. Meanwhile, contact some 3 foot high moles (get those near Selafield) or whatever its called now, & start to tunnel through to you then its up, up & away yay!<br /><br />"Beware the purple bunnies of the appocalypse"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3835152205968344114.post-15785992588861805642009-09-21T16:41:57.987+01:002009-09-21T16:41:57.987+01:00"Traction Man said...
