I just re-read the old thread from six years ago when I went into hospital and was so very ill with chf. Spaw and the rest of you were in your prime and it gave me some great laughs as well as tears. There is one posting I would like to post here, for Pat. Janie posted it back then:

May you be surrounded by light and love and healing. May all our relations in the four directions come join us as we gather round now and hold and sooth you.

That's just beautiful, to me, and says just what is in my heart.

luvya'll...kat

Thanks for the update, Kat. Just arrived back in NC, and all day have been wishing, for the first time, for a G3 device so that I could check in.

I figure if voices and bytes can be sent and received through the ether, the energies of loving kindness can also, be they in the form of prayer, good thoughts, or fart jokes.

And what Lox said....

You know what really shines through all this is how strong the Spaw is. He has met and conquered so many potentially fatal ailments and I choose to believe that it has made him only stronger.

Karen has strength of a different sort, different but remarkable.

Bless them both.

Pat is back on the vent. His O2 sats drop way low without it. They have him on morphine which doesn't help with that. When they put him back on it, they sucked up some really nasty looking crud from his lung.

They reopened the appy incision to clean out a bunch of blood clots and have packed it and left it open.

They have given him something to stabilise the rhythms of his heart.

Karen and the boys are at home, today. She's making a special dinner, doing laundry, giving her fish some attention, being loved up on by all the cats and the dog and she is staying home for the night. She will go back to work tomorrow night, but will see Pat before that. Last night she and Tris were up 'til midnight playing Mexican Railroad Dominoes and had a great time. Michael has a friend coming to town.

One day at a time sounds trite, but that's kind of what we've got going on. Karen says "Thanks" for all you are doing.

Hey, Spaw, are you better yet?

I hope so. Send us a picture of yourself in hospital attire, wheeling your various IVs down the hall to the john, chasing nurses and generally being the true pain in the ass you are capable of being.

PPppthbsssssssss!

Hard to be sick and in the hospital on Christmas, but your family loves you loads, and a lot of your extended-across-the-world family loves you some too. Kick microbial butt on the inside. On the outside, rest easy. Try to stay right-side out and get well.

Well, I consider my cat comin' home to be a sign that 2 other things good are going to occur as things, good or bad, come in threes... So, I proclaim that Spawzer gettin' his innards squared away (for him, that is) as #2 and I'm now awaiting #3...

But sho nuff be nice to have that #2 in the books and have Sp-awzer home and healthy for New Years 'cause word on the street the Reg Boyz gotta somethin' big planned... That's all I can say...

Hey, Pat, see if they'll let you watch a re-run of "Being John Malkovitch". It will really make coming back to your own skin seem like a good idea!

I really dislike mokeys. Does that make me a bad person?
Remember the one who tore off the woman's face recently? Nasty things.

On another note, Netflix is shipping me Songcatcher which of course will trigger a review. Hope Spaw is well enough to contribute.

Y'know, I was thinking...what if we all send him one of these to cheer him up:

Eeeeek!!!! Eeeeeek!!!!

They could be arranged in a sort of ring around the bed, and the nurses could activate them whenever necessary. I think it would do wonders for ol' Spaw.

Wow. You are well on your way toward composing a classic, my good man. Generations of future students will no doubt be forced to plow their way through it. The Coles Notes version will not do it justice.

Call me Fishmeal. Some years ago - never mind how long precisely - having as usual little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore (her father having caught us in the act), I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen and regulating the circulation of my splendid genes around the world. Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I feel a burning pain when I urinate; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my typos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically passing large volumes of malodorous intestinal gas - then, I account it high time to get to sea or at least out of town as soon as I can.
