JP, good to see you, too.

I will call Karen tomorrow, folks, for an update. I don't want to pester her, too often. I figure, right now, no news is good news. I have it from Sister Connie, I will hear if there is a change, either way.

Patsclaw, what you really need is that which I've been promising you all these weary years, your Golden Shower, so on this occasion I'd like to finally keep my promise, especially with the help of   Fellow Mudcatters, before you go to bed tonight, as you make your final premorphial* bladder draining, think of Pat. Before you loose the stream say "Here's to ya, you old malingerer, you," then cut loose.

And Pat, you've gotta open your mind to the loving streams from all over the world. I know the effect would be greatest if we could unite worldwide for a single instant so for maximum effect I'd like to suggest that all Muddies time their ablutions for 10 p.m. Greenwich, but I know you're all too dense to figure out what time that would be in your own zones, and maybe it's best anyway that we don't flood him but just keep a modest stream aimed his way for the next 24 hours...

I love you, Pat. Keep your head above water.

*premorphial (a word I coined for the occasion--referring to Morpheus, god of sleep and soporifics.

Okay. I've donated over ten gallons of blood over the years. I have written all of the places I've donated and Spaw should be receiving better than ten gallons of A+ any time now. Granted, some of it's pretty old, but then so is he.

Typical Spaw - all that bad weather in Ohio and he finds a way to stay warm and avoid putting out the trash. Definitely a worthy layabout.

I'm sending good energies to help the healing process my dear friend.

I just learned of this from olddude. I don't spend as much time here as I used to and I've had BS turned off for a long time.

Please tell 'Spaw I'm thinking of him and surely miss the old discussions. Pat is one guy I always wanted to meet in person and now that I'm traveling east with some frequency I figured I'd finally get the chance.

Hang in there 'Spaw we're all pullin' for ya.

Lord Jesus, you went about doing good and healing all, we ask You to bless our friend Pat who is ill. Give him the strength in body, courage in spirit, and patience in pain. Recover his health and watch over Pat , Karen and the rest of his family. He is a beloved friend to us all. Restore him to health, bless and protect him, and grant courage and strength to his family while they are caring for him during this time of trouble. In Your Name, we ask for Your help. Amen.

This is a helluva way to get out of decorating the tree. If you don't want to do it, just say something and someone else will do it. Or just get one already decorated. (I never take mine down.)

I don't think he's in any condition for humping right now. He's got to get a lot better for that sort of thing. So, he's got to get better. That there is known as "logic."

Just spoke with Karen who spent the night at Connie and Wayne's.

He had a rough time in surgery. He had been in huge waves of pain from the haematoma and when they went in there, they took out a litre of blood from both sides of his belly. They've been having trouble with his blood pressure because of his haemoglobin, so they gave him two units before surgery, during surgery and after surgery. He spiked a fever last night and there is a bit of pneumonia in the upper lobe of his lung, left side, I think. He is on a vent, but they are starting to wean him off of that. He is in ICU. I forgot to ask about cards, but will send Connie and email and ask.

Despite all of that, Karen sounded very upbeat, though tired, and Connie did, too. Karen is going to go see him, soon, and then will go home for the first time in a couple of days where she will spend the night. She hasn't seen the boys in a couple of days and is looking forward to it.

Please keep sending your best, mostest powerfull Mudcat mojo and let's push him over the hump (oh, that's a camel, not an elephant, huh? Well, let's just give him a huge lift, what say you?!)
