Rob's Status

[Chris Bennett]

Brilliant progress Rob.

 

[Beth Carter]

best of luck rob!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Including kindness, I hope, Gianluca.

 

[Gary R. Smith]

I bet that sunshine felt good! Just don't fall asleep out there without some SP50 on that shiny forehead!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

No chance of that. I was dragged backed to the ward soon after. The ward has no windows.

 

[Pete Askew]

Looking pretty chilled there, Rob. And glad to hear you are on the move as it were. Keep us posted please.

 

[Gianluca Drago]

Including kindness, I hope, Gianluca.

I'm not sure which of my messages you are referring to. But talking about your character, certainly kindness must be included, but do not underestimate your causticity in your judgements. In my opinion, it is part of your nature as a teacher: to open the pupil's eyes with such force that cannot go unnoticed, but at the same time with a friendly, almost motherly, gentleness, which is a great gift of good teachers.

And your masterful irony should also be included.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I’ll do my best.

Moving ward via a mirrored-ceiling lift…

They told me there are some who never make it, condemned to eat slush ‘feed’ for the rest of their life.

I can empathize to a small degree. When I had cancer surgery on my tongue four years ago I had a trach and a feeding tube. They had to replace the feeding tube twice within three days after I vomited it up (that happens when a nurse dumps too much water into a stomach that's been basically empty for days). Anyway I was grateful for the technology, but I was also VERY glad to get rid of it. Prayers for your recovery.

That’s awful, Len. Glad you got through it!

You have to be to be accepted here!

 

[Keith Drysdale]

I am another new person here wishing you a speedy recovery. As someone struggling to find a dentist I would say chewing is overrated.

 

[Pete Askew]

Has Brian, flogged you one of his dodgy one-legged ‘tripods', Rob?

What a great idea for a shot. One advantage of lying down in the lift!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

That’s my trusty walking stick. I found Brian to be a man of character and trust. Remarkable in someone from Rutherglen…

 

[Pete Askew]

Despite all of our attempts at suggesting otherwise, I suspect you are absolutely correct about that, Rob!
