More bits and Bods

A few bits that don´t Warrant a post all of thier own.*

Two new additions to the Bodstonia Landscape, a couple of Trappers/Militia. Bodies from the Imex Pilgrims, the heads from the Imex George Washington´s army
Some more North American Indians in a Canoe. Bodies and Canoe from the Imex Lewis and Clark set, heads from the Italeri Indian Warriors.
I´ve forgotton where the musket came from but I think it was a spare from the Imex Pilgrims set. 
A small  Veuglaire. I haven´t a clue what make it is but it´s A really nice Piece  and made entirely out of Metal.
The tent from the Emhar crested kniggits set. As it Comes, OOB, the Thing is massive. PSR puts it at around 5 meters tall. I sawed off 2 cm´s from the bottom so the doorway is the height of a bod.
*If it hadn´t been for a recent stay in Hospital, they might have had some other bits added to them but as I´m in "recovery" sitting down to paint etc is beyond me at the Moment :-(

    Glad to hear you are on the mend Paul, I hope it was nothing that serious.
    Painting and conversions on the bods looking good, as always.

    Hospital? Hope you're on the mend? If not - get better soon; that's an order!

    Thanks chaps.
    Right at the start of the month, the 2nd,after a bad Weekend, high fever with back pains and burning pee, I started Peeing blood..exact cause still unknown. I couldn´t go through with the final check, a cystoscopy,,way too painfull!!!. No anesthetic even though I was told on admission I´d Need to be knocked out and I insisted on being knocked out twice up until the "attempt". The doc finally said after trying and me producing a wide range of swear words.. "yep, you´re one of those who Needs to be knocked out for this"
    Due to having anti-bios through a drip, which cured (as far as I can tell) the original complaint, I ended up with blood poisoning in both arms and now the tendons are inflamed. I could write an Essay on how cr*p the staff and thier Organisation/help/advice etc was, an Essay which I´ll write to the medical complaints board but it would be too Long for here.
    Anyways...I´m still around :-)

      I am wondering where you got treated? I am guessing they thought it was a kidney infection (Pyelonephritis), and probably a localised reaction to the IV Antibiotics?

      Believe it or not, I was treated in Hospital, one that has a specialised eurology dept. They wrote something to do with my prostrate but that, IMHO, is twaddle.
      I reckon it was either a kidney infection or Stones, which I´ve had before, 86 /87..peeing blood but then I got a CT scan and some sort of liquid which flushed them and they told me to go out and drink 3.4 beers..it worked.
      The 1st IV got infected cos it wasn´t put in properly (I had to tell them 3 times that was the case, they only took it out when I said I was going to do it myself) and the other was left in too Long..4 days. Added to that a possible reaction to the antibios but I´ve since learnt that they should be drip fed for the ist couple of days until the values go down, after that orally..which I insisted on after the second cannule had messed up and I´m still taking them orally now.
      If the values don´t return to normal by the end of the month (or the blood peeing Returns) I´ll be put in for the cystoscopy but in another Hospital...never would I go back there.
      It wasn´t only me that came in with one Thing and ended up with another. In the room I was in three other patients went through in the week I was there..two ended up worse off than before, one even left and came back in a worse state two days later. Complete feck up all round.

      Sorry to hear about your bad experience. I think a letter to the hospital detailing your concerns would be reasonable. Specialised Urology departments should IMHO be better than what you describe.
      PS: Yes, I work in the NHS.

      Thanks Chaps
      @Pat. The bits and bods were produced a while back, pre the stay in Hospital..so I bunged them together in one post.
      Imagine my suprise when yesterday I got a letter from the hopspital thanking me for choosing them (I had no choice at the time, I now know better) and hoping I found my stay a happy one!!!! Bloody cheek of the People.!!
