C'mon Bellthorpe, up and 'at em. The Queensland branch of CR can't afford to have on of its strongest players on the sidelines for too long or we might all go soft. I can feel a visit to the chiro coming on, followed by a post-run gatorade and a quick trip to the shops to buy a $35 pair of socks.  

[Wedged]

The sharpest wit on CR! Get well quick mate. Thinking of you.

[brewer]

All the best for a speedy recovery.

[Colsy]

Apparently he is questioning the doctors use of the Heart Rate Monitor.

[DontStop]

All the best for a quick and complete recovery BT.

[sol]

BT, get back here soon - I can't stave off the chiros all on my own!!

All the best,
sol

[Bernie G]

Best wishes mate.

Get well quick; Blue Dog and I will see you in September, when we will be coming north to rock the 'house.

Blue Dog and BG.

All the very best for a speedy recovery, BT.

[My chiro gave me the news. He has invented a new "hold" in your honour but can't decide whether to call it the Bellthorpe Grip or the Bellthorpe Gripe. He says it will be possibly uncomfortable but will get straight to the point, either way.]

[Mango]

Wishing you a speedy recovery BT.  All the best.

[Jimboy]

Hope that you are well soon,Bellthorpe.Always enjoy your contributions to CR Best of health soon,mate.

[orlando]

Wishing you all the best for a speedy recovery, BT.  Your posts may be among the shortest here, but their (temporary)absence will be noticed.

[mgi11a]

Have just got of the phone from BT, he will be becoming a member of the zipper club (bypass) early next week. Meanwhile he is in good spirit, and has being fit and healthy to thank for him not looking at the lid right now.

He is still trying to hack into the hospitals internet, and as soon as he does he'll be back on line.

Also if there's any 60yo olds out there named Craig, he's paid up entries on about 10 races in the near future. Would be just a matter of rocking up and saying your him, I don't think he'd mind.

Cheers

I pity the poor nursing staff who have to put up with your wit and humour.
Stay away from nurse Ratchet.


Get well soon BT and look forward to your postings.

As a nurse, I'd rather 'put up' with Bellthorpe and his razor sharp wit any day than put up with whingers who think they are sick   .

PS I do have compassion for sick people.

I have compassion for the sick too - been saving it up for years

[FrankieP]

Craig, ya drama queen, a bit of a fancy way to sook out of a run, don't you think? Geez, and a whole thread to yourself, and you're not even here to enjoy it! *shakes head sadly*

Well I hope my colleagues looked after you well and gave you a clip around the ear for [no doubt] being cheeky. With a bypass you'll be winning that Qld HM Champs coming up, the new hose with it's improved fuel flow will have your engine steaming along better than ever!

Take care, behave yourself, and we're all looking forward to catching up with you soon. xxxxxxx

[nicstaar]

All the very best for a speedy recovery

Text received from Bellthorpe:-

"Thanks all feeling well here.  Think I have the nurses sorted.  Bypass op Sun or Mon".

[Paul Every]

All the best with the construction of the Bellthorpe Bypass. May it make for many miles of pleasant running.

[Rell]

All the best Bellthorpe for a speedy recovery

[Kandingo]

was told today they are planning to put a bypass thru Bellthorpe  
my brother at Stanmore will be spewing ...how much traffic do they get up there ??

hope all goes well Craig ..if they use a bovine piece we can call you Bullthorpe.

[SMC42K]

Best wishes for a fast recovery. I have read & been amused by many of your postings and would love to go on doing so.

[Horrie]

Wishing you a speedy recovery Bellthorpe so you can be part of Glasshouse this year.

[Melruns]

Wishing you all the very best BT, I'll be praying for you   !

I would so love to be there when a doctor suggests that BT no longer runs but does low impact cross training instead   .

[Tuttle]

Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Bellthorpe.

[Janeo]

Best wishes BT and speedy recovery!

[Tesso]

Sending good wishes for a quick recovery your way BT.  

Will dedicate my next tune on the banjo to you  

[Owly]

I offered to send him a kinesiologist but he replied that they'd have to get in line behind all the chiropractors everyone's sending him.  

Get well soon BT.

[stewy]

All the best BellThorpe, take it easy and hope you're back on deck soon.

Thanks Plodda for the update! I've a bunch of karma coming his way also from running friends on another forum.  

Lol @ Bellthorpe Bypass!

[Bellthorpe]

Hey guys, I'm overwhelmed by the number of people wishing me well, on this thread, and by phone, text and inter-cranial thought messaging. I love youse all. I would have said that I'm touched by it, but some would have read that as 'tetched'.

last night he was trying to 'hack' into the hospital wi-fi ?on his phone.

Ahem. 'Trying'? Done! It took a while, and I really did not want to bring the telemetry systems down. Especially while I'm wearing a wire myself.

Quote

hey fred tell BT that i have arranged for a chiropractic consult whilst he is in.

That was great. You know what surgeons are like, they like to think they run the show. But once the chiropractor took over, it was clear how the power equation was working out. A settlement was reached whereby the surgeon will do the operation, but under the supervision of the Chiropractor. Seems fair to me.

Quote

Bellthorpe says thank you to whoever sent the Strippagram to Intensive Care. They enjoyed it immensely, but unfortunately one of them didn't make it.

Yes, it took something from the moment, unfortunately. At least this is one of those very rare cases where he 'died doing what he loved'.

That was eclipsed however by the 12 virgins, sent by (name withheld, but you know who you are). I think you misunderstood me. I said I was hoping to have a holiday at the 12 Apostles, flying there with Virgin. All clear now? Still, I'm sure they'll keep until spring, when deflowers come out.


For those with a technical bent, I've posted the x-rays to my blog.

that one's for you, funrunner63. Run well, enjoy. I was in the running for a 3rd place medal in the cross country series, but I expect it will be 2nd or 1st now. I'll take the medal, you can have the t-shirt, OK?

Just came! Thanks for that, we're just figuring out how to get her into the team. My aura's fine, apparently, although a little too vivid for some.

Thanks again folks ...

Cheers,

BT

[FrankieP]

Get back into bed, you scoundrel!!!

[PlodBod]

Time for your bedbath, Mr Bellthorpe!!!  

[Peterhorse]

Hey Bellthorpe!

i've been out of play for a few days and just got back to checking on your news. good to see you're in safe hands and got yourself there good and early.

wishing you all the best for the op, and a speedy recovery.

PH

p.s. just out of interest, who's the cardio? (my dad and father-in-law both regular customers, now my brother-in-law too!)

[Linkspurr]

BT,

Had a quiet few days and just hopped on CR to find out what happened - I'm in shock.

As many others have said, my sympathy to all the medical staff, I'm sure they've never met anyone quite like you!  Seriously though wishing you a very speedy recovery and looking forward to catching up with you at Glasshouse again.

[RunBare]

All the best to you from the RunBare family.  We hope you are back on deck very soon, would love to catch up with you in September at the Glasshouse.

Take care, do as you're told..... well as much as possible.... and heal quickly.

[Ewen]

Get well soon BT, and do what the nurses say.

[Colsy]

Apparently he has been strutting up and down the halls of the hospital with one of those gowns on that reveal everything from behind.

There are photos of this on his blog:

[DiJ]

Gee you don't get on for a week and look what happens!  Blimey Bellthorpe that's an extreme case of attention seeking if ever there was one.  Am wondering how you're getting on with the Chrios, have they fixed you up yet or do we need to send in the big guns ... Ginger?  

Seriously hope all goes well with the op, best wishes, Di.

[chookrunner]

Yeah, good luck in the next day or two, BT. I'll toast your recovery tonight with a nice red.

Was just having a chat with him - He's in good spirits and enjoying a beer  

[swaggerer]

We are like minded.   Especially the first few verses.



Why water life down too much?  Enjoy your beer.

Hey BT,

Give me a list of those races. I've got an important appointment in Christchurch next weekend, but after that am definitely interested in some shorter stuff.

With just a smidgeon of makeup I reckon I could pass for you and I'd be happy with the t-shirt.

If life is about your spirit, we all know you've got heaps of that,

Funrunner aka Craig
