:) I'd assume it refers to lying in a bed with a 'drip' in one's arm. A 'drip' being hospital/nurse jargon for a catheter tube connected to a bag or bottle containing some manner of solution (7%, MacRua?) or blood or medication; which then 'drip'-feeds down the catheter into one's bloodstream. Hope this helps. :)
Nurse, fetch me another bottle of Old Toad Linament and my stirrups QUICKLY! *mmooooooaaaannn* :lol:
