Queen Elizabeth Hospitalized

[MrRochesterNY]

The sovereign of the UK and of all of the British Empire (what is left of it) has been hospitalized with gastroenteritis. Gastroenteritis is a disease symptomized by shitting and pukeing. Not a pretty sight, but it does not spare even royalty.

[sixthson]

Thank goodness for the royal throne then.

[Rolyo85]

Ouch. Are we gonna have a king soon?

[star-warrior]

She got the shits.

I lost half a stone at the beginning of Feb due to something similar.

She's an octogenarian, and she needs some geriatric care. I've seen how it affect the elderly, and despite her being a royal, she is nevertheless fairly robust for someone who is older than my late mum.

You passed half a gallstone??? How big was it? Must have been painful as hell!

[PreTTy PeTe]

Really .... don't make a prank call to the hospital because the royal family will drive someone to commit suicide.

Charles must have gotten a boner thinking his time had finally come

[HoodedRat]

In hospital?

She could die?

So, fingers crossed then.

Prince Chuck is bad enough. Imagine King Chuck! The Queen needs to enact whatever rules she needs to enact to ensure that her grandson succeeds to the throne.

Now that was unnecessary.

[PreTTy PeTe]

Now that was unnecessary.

maybe not but it was fun

[MrRochesterNY]

The former British Empire is now called the Commonwealth of Nations.

Poor queen, I wouldn't worry too much if she is in good hands.

Yes, Camilla is taking care of her.

[PreTTy PeTe]

Yes, Camilla is taking care of her.

does she have the pillow ready???

Funny - I'm used to reading "Queen Elizabeth Hospital." Or "Queen Elizabeth Freeway," "Queen Elizabeth Theatre," etc. But Queen Elizabeth HospitalISED" is a new one.

Anyway I wish her well, and better her than Prince Charles. If he had diarrhoea for even just a day or two there would be nothing left.

I have no idea why, it's not like you've ever actually done that.

The Queen Elizabeth hospital is now called the Toronto Rehab here and it's part of University Health Network.

I should know I spent a lot of time there.

She has something that lasts for two days and you get better, although she is older so it is more intense but the it doesn't even require medicine, just fluids

So naturally, she has to take up a hospital bed in Canada. Nice.

Fascinating. I didn't know they also had one in Toronto. Makes sense. I bet you've got a "Confederation Park" too.

[Zaphod]

In hospital?

So, fingers crossed then.

Okay, there is really no call for that.

[T-Rexx]

At least she has health care coverage.

I agree. Wishing death on a person who has given their life to their country was unnecessary .

I agree too. I considered starting a thread about this yesterday when I saw the story on the news, but held back because I anticipated offensive posts like this.

Yes but the Monarchy goes on even if she pops her clogs ...tough cheddar old boy.

Happily, The Queen was well enough to leave hospital this afternoon.

I didn't read Rat's statement as offensive. I assumed he meant that his fingers were crossed to hope for her recovery. And luckily she has recovered, it seems.

[Corny]

Aw shucks, poor Chales .. no King .. again.



But seriously, I'm amazed at her highness' endurance and wish her many more proud years.

poor charles.....do you think he wishes his mom dead?

[cgymike]

^he looks seriously unhappy and may not survive his mom with that!

[TickTockMan]

poor charles.....do you think he wishes his mom dead?

Honestly, if he wants the job, there has to be at least a small part of him that does. I don’t see her ever stepping down.

Right...and there's huge longevity in her family ...she could live to 105....easily.

[loveguys72]

I admire Queen Elizabeth II. No matter what, she just keeps on. Kind of inspiring.

[Natedogg]

God save the Queen and God bless her. Before anyone flames, consider that she has carried out a duty for over 60 years; a job she never wanted and watched kill her father. And she has done so without so much as a hint of bitterness or resentment. Perfect? No. She's human. But with quiet dignity she carries out HUNDREDS of official engagements throughout the year and does so with grace and aplomb. And for the record, Prince Charles doesn't even WANT the bloody job. I know its a life I wouldn't want. But it's the idea of service above self that keeps her going; something we all can learn from.

[unloadonme]

It appears Her Majesty is fully recovered and is about to resume her official duties.

She missed a trip to Rome.Gastroenteritis? The real problem was probably her getting sick to her stomach at the thought of running into that idiot Berlusconi that the Italians keep embarassing themselves by reelecting.

She's dealt with worse in the last 60 years.

Ooh. Nice one with Blair.


Should've included Camilla.
