GET WELL BOUQUET FOR RAY
==========================================================================
SPECIAL MESSAGE TO RAY: Wednesday morning June 11, 2008
Hip hip who ?RAY!
I just performed a virtual op on your hip – so simple like executing a mechanical trade, so to speak!
To prove how easy the op is, please go to this link and click and follow the procedure:
http://www.edheads.org/activities/hip/
VOILA! All over in no time and a new hip .
Soon after convalescence, you, Ray, will be able to boogie and dance away on bar-tops , to help you to shed some pounds to look a complete new hombre.
So relax, Ray, as all the ANGELS will breathe down the surgeon’s neck and will guide his hand to put a new hip joint spot on.
Your readers have written to me and joined me in wishing you a speedy convalescence to resume as Moderator at your own weblog soon….
Have faith

JUST IN FROM LONDON FOR RAY:
My dear friend Ramon,
It has been a few months since our last meeting in Mumbai. How time flies.
And what an event that was, right?
We had a wonderful evening with the Queen of Singapore Anna Wang. How
she made us laugh and of course, we had the wonderful Jimmy ,who kindly took
us to a wonderful restaurant.
Well last night Jimmy had met me and whilst eating at a restaurant here in
London, we were reminiscing about that great evening we all had together.
How we shared our life and market stories.
Now Ray, you know very well how everything at some point is a trade.
Whether we trade an actual market or whether we trade our time and even
our love for someone. It all comes down to what I call an exchange. And
guess what? At some point we will even have to trade our precious bodies.
A knee here, a nip and tuck there and in some cases even a hip.
So lucky you are getting a new hip. And I know that very soon I m going to
have a tough time keeping up with you when I come to Singapore as we walk
across the city with its glorious buildings and lovely restaurants.
Like I said time flies and soon we will all be looking back and saying
Hey remember when Ray was walking behind us? Well now Ray is walking
beside us. And that my friend is my message to you. We are all walking
with you today and for the years to come.
Warm regards from a friend in London.

Reply from Khoon (Doc)
to Dr Wang,
…er there is only 1 problem with your operation on Mr Barros…the patient is of the wrong sex and
age…;-)!!ha ha
AND MY RESPONSE:
10:33 AM (6 hours ago)
Naughty Knotty Doc Khoon!
Wait till he gets out and about in July and you will have to deal with him……..
Perhaps, you should do Pole-dancing for him while he is in hospital , to be forgiven.
BTW you address a surgeon as Mr not Dr , so you should address this female surgeon Ms Wang!

Hi, Ana, they are transfering him into an orthopedic bed in his room . Looks like a torture chamber. Dr. Khoon may not agree!

On Thu, Jun 12, 2008 at 11:55 PM,
Hi, Ana, I am still with Ramon. He is resting peacefully. The surgeon came in at 9 pm to go through what had been done and what to expect tomorrow. Ramon has a scar about 4 inches. Initially Ramon puts his pain at 1 measured on a scale from 1 to 10. He has a device now to self inject Pain control. Occasionally, I drip water through a piece of gauze to him . He feels nausea , otherwise. Blood tests every 2 hours.

FRIDAY 13 June 08 :post-op updates from Christine:
Hi,Ana, everyone is so kind and caring of Ramon. The messages are so heartening especially for today.
Ramon is feeling the pain but he must start leg exercises even when lying down. I have to learn the exercises too.
This room is a hive of activities. There is a constant stream of medic personnel in and out!
Ramon is hooked up to 4 contraptions. Just to kiss him on the cheek requires delicate navigation. Christine
==============================================
The first 24 hours is crucial and Ray is under a good medic team who will monitor his post op condition. From the reports just received, he is beginning his first leg exercise in bed. This is a good sign and soon he will be up and about.
Cheeers - hip hip hu-Ray!

LATEST from Christine:
On Sat, Jun 14, 2008 at 7:59 PM,
Ana, we are so touched by all the well-wishers and specially your kindness.
Ramon just got up to stand for 2 minutes, supported by a frame. 3 male nurses had to ease him to the side of the bed.
This morning he vomited from the pain. Tonight he did not. Improvement! Christine
==============================================
This is the best news and in no time, he will gain his gait, skip and do the hip-hop. Worth the pain and he must push himself to start walking……..

PROGRESS REPORT by Christine
c.barros@kingfishersauces.com to me
5:54 PM Sun Jun 15 2008
Hi, Ana, Ramon is finally asleep And I can relax with the Sunday papers. You can see I am using my BlackBerry to reply. Rather trying on the thumb!
It had been a busy day for the patient and his wife. He had to sit up in an orthopaedic chair for at least one and half hours but managed thirty minutes.
The process from bed to chair involved 3 nurses, a frame, various footrests of different heights, adjustments of pillows to support his back…..morphine was removed this morning, so Ramon feels sore all over.
Running a temperature too. Generally,he is recovering to expectations.
Sister Ada announced tomorrow’s program with: ” we are going to march him!”. Oh dear me….
Christine.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It is to be expected that Ray needs to take little steps just like a toddler, to learn to walk again. Important thing is to persevere in spite of the pain as sitting out of bed is vital to his circulation, I believe.
As Tom said, his father suffered pain for about a week. I believe pain will fade each day and taking morphine off Ray is timely. Otherwise, he will get so addicted to painkillers (and morphine is addictive.) he will be very dependent on hard drugs. Consolation is he had morphine legally and now for his sake, it must end or he will need Cold Turkey one day!
A slight temperature is normal after an op of this magnitude. I am sure Sister Ada and her team will monitor his temperature to make sure there is no infection or complications post op.
Cheers –hip hip hu-Ray!

Ray,
I was chatting with Anna today in a trading room and she conveyed to me that you just had a hip replaced. I know that is a significant surgery as I have had a family member undergo the same surgery.
I wish you a speedy recovery and hope you are able to get back to trading and the markets very soon.
Cheers,
Trevor
