Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw & KarenSpaw From: Rapparee Date: 10 Sep 09 - 06:07 PM I guess he needs more than the Beano, huh? When I was younger I had a fever of 104 F. and they gave me enemas.* Think that might help? Or isn't the hospital equipped for such an amount? *Didn't work, so I had an IV drip of antibiotics for 8 hours. Witch hazel rubs didn't work either. |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw & KarenSpaw From: katlaughing Date: 10 Sep 09 - 05:10 PM Very funny, ya'll. Just spoke with Karen. He is still "awful" which I know you all will be so glad to hear.:-) However, his fever is still up there, about 102 and they are still giving him meds,fluids, etc. Karen is positive they will get him past whatever virus it is and be able to send him home by Saturday. She is glad he's there and not at home. She said he will do mind games at home, sucking it up and telling himself he won't be sick; then when he's finally convinced to go in, when they get amongst the docs and nurses, etc. he just kind of lets go and is really sick. I don't think it is a white coat phobia, either.:-) Yesterday was the 13th anniversary of his heart bypass surgery. Thirteen years!! I am so grateful he has made it this far and am breathing deeply for him. I don't "feel" any panic or anything. I think Karen has a good handle on it. She's going to call me tomorrow morning, after she gets off work, with an update. We love you, Spawdarlin', kat & my Rog |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw & KarenSpaw From: Jeri Date: 10 Sep 09 - 04:31 PM When I first read kat's, "First off - he's okay, well sort of. ", I thought "WT holy flaming super-sized F on a stick!?! This is something serious. Spaw has never been even CLOSE to 'okay'!" Big wishes from me. May Spaw get un-sick and back to being the normal-for-him variety of fucked up. (Lots of good cussing in this thread!) |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw & KarenSpaw From: Rapparee Date: 10 Sep 09 - 11:17 AM Yes, please do. |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw & KarenSpaw From: katlaughing Date: 10 Sep 09 - 11:07 AM I hesitate to post this until I can talk to him more, but I think it's best that I do. He sounded awful just now. He had a doc there, so we only spoke for a minute, but when I said you don't sound like you feel good at all, he croaked out a breathless "no." I know he is in one of the best places for good care and Karen believes he will be okay, so I continue with visualisation of him healthy and home. May it be so! I'll probably call Karen at some point today and see what's up. kat |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw & KarenSpaw From: Rapparee Date: 10 Sep 09 - 11:06 AM Here's a tip from a nurse of my acquaintance: Make sure the staff washes their hands before they touch you. Otherwise they can spread stuff from people who are really sick to you. It would probably be nice if they cleaned the stuff they stick you with, prod you with, and in general use on you. Especially rectal thermometers, enemas and things like those. You want to be sure that the thermometer they stick in your mouth is the kind that's for sticking in your mouth, too. You might want to check that yourself. |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw & KarenSpaw From: Severn Date: 10 Sep 09 - 09:20 AM Most of my thoughts are spare, but I'll spare a few for you. Some snappy patter, son...... Don't think of the place as a mere horse-spittle. Think of it as a Health Spaw! Hiring a chimney sweep yearly would've cleaned out the flu. Will you have to recover the couch before he recovers on the couch? How soon will he be Standing Pat? I hope you can find some Pat answers, besides "Blowing In The Wind", of course....

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw & KarenSpaw From: Tinker Date: 10 Sep 09 - 05:57 AM Ya know the hospital demands so much involuntary action, what with the poking and proding and describing of symptoms.... I was thinking it might be in direct condradiction with that Lay-about-at-Large contract ... But since it might take real work to figure out the direct caluases your in violation of I'll think about it after my morning nap.. Blessings and Light tink |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw & KarenSpaw From: Will Fly Date: 10 Sep 09 - 04:39 AM Well, tut tut - this is what you happens when you curse and swear and use profane language and damn everyone to hell and back and allow foul expletives to flow from your mouth and spout the vocabulary of the cesspool and employ the grammar of the gutter and spew the atrocities of the termagent, the harridan, the fishwife and the damned: You end up in hospital with a lot of sick people. Get well soon - love and kisses Will xxx |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw & KarenSpaw From: Seamus Kennedy Date: 10 Sep 09 - 01:23 AM Art, I believe you missed the word beneath the word you're referring to. *G* Actually I think Prick is the least of Spaw's worries at the moment! Seamus |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw & KarenSpaw From: Art Thieme Date: 10 Sep 09 - 12:07 AM Seamus, That is a unique way to sign your name to your post. I don't think I 've ever seen it done just that way---with that word. ;-) Art |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw & KarenSpaw From: katlaughing Date: 09 Sep 09 - 11:53 PM When they went to the ER, he hadn't taken his evening meds, yet. He kept telling the personnel that he needed to get some meds taken, esp. important things like lasix. I think it was about 6p when they got there. They finally got seen around 10p, admitted and meds administered, which by that time were really needed! Janie, Karen told their son, Michael, "this isn't the one," so I think he's okay. I know it is a long time to keep him, but she feels they have a good handle on treating his symptoms even as they figure out what is causing them. It did start out as a cold and I know he's been really concerned about swine virus, sorry I keep forgetting the proper name for it, H1N1 or whatever it is. I'll post as soon as I talk with him...keep in mind, I am an hour earlier than him and two hours earlier than Mudcat, so those of you in the East and beyond may have to wait a little while in the morning. I'll be sure to pass on the "good" wishes!:-) |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw & KarenSpaw From: Neil D Date: 09 Sep 09 - 11:51 PM We agree with Katlaughing, too much with bad news. Get better real quick Spaw, it's not too far to drive, we're in Ohio too. Remember, Neil still has one good leg to kick butt with. Neil and Christina |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw & KarenSpaw From: Seamus Kennedy Date: 09 Sep 09 - 11:41 PM Spaw, ya jealous bastard! Ya just can't stand to see Kendall and Tom gettin' all the attention, can ya? No ya can't; so you have to go and get sick to get some sympathy 'n' prayers 'n' stuff. Well, it ain't gonna work, pal, 'cause nobody here gives a rat's ass. So just get your sorry ass outta that hospital and back home, and let Kendall and Tom have all the TLC. Prick! Seamus |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw & KarenSpaw From: Janie Date: 09 Sep 09 - 10:40 PM Git well, and git home, 'Spawser. And Karen, you take as good care of yourself as you take of 'Spaw. They don't hospitalize folks for the common cold or a 24 hour virus, so I'm hoping and praying the H. admission is simply about being very cautious with a feller who has had a heap of health problems and interventions. Now that I think about it, when one considers the amount of money that has been invested in keeping the old fart going, he really is an investment Karen wants to protect;^) Probably represents the investment of their life savings, and then some! No wonder we consider him a national treasure. Light and hugs, and watch the coughs - they can cause wet farts. Janie |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw & KarenSpaw From: Rapparee Date: 09 Sep 09 - 09:47 PM The answer is one word: Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and midnight snack of champions*. *Yeah, yeah, it's Trigger. Wanna make something of it? Don't make me come to Southern Ohio. Please don't. Oh please........... |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw & KarenSpaw From: Little Hawk Date: 09 Sep 09 - 09:44 PM Yikes! Well, Chongo has his usual sage advice to pass on, which is: "Give him lotsa hot mulled cider spiked with even more whisky and rub some powdered red pepper all over him, specially the parts below the belt." I don't know about these chimp cures, though, when it comes to people. Chimps, after all, are tough as hell. |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw & KarenSpaw From: Ebbie Date: 09 Sep 09 - 09:30 PM "It neither sings nor dances but it has hairy legs" I suspect that describes the man. We must ask Karen. (Get oudda there, Spaw. I don't like getting teary eyed about you.) |
