Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update - out of ICU! From: Rapparee Date: 17 Sep 09 - 11:35 AM WHY in the HELL is he wasting his strength calling people instead of getting well? He didn't call me, for instance. |
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update - out of ICU! From: Little Hawk Date: 17 Sep 09 - 11:47 AM Uh-huh. And Chongo hasn't called you lately either, has he? Nor has Shane. That should tell you something. ;-D |
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update - out of ICU! From: Rapparee Date: 17 Sep 09 - 11:55 AM Chongo called. He said to tell you, "Eheh ahehe AGG!" He said you know what that means. As for Shame, he's to dumb to use a telephone and breath at the same time. |
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update - out of ICU! From: Little Hawk Date: 17 Sep 09 - 05:04 PM And that's why most of his phone conversations are quite short... ;-) |
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update - out of ICU! From: SINSULL Date: 17 Sep 09 - 06:16 PM Good news. Both of you get some rest. |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update - out of ICU! From: Fortunato Date: 17 Sep 09 - 06:58 PM Dear 'Spaw, I'm sorry you've been ill. I'm particularly sorry you were in the hospital. I'm very, very sorry you were in ICU. Now of course I'm glad you're improving or so I hear in this thread. I'm sorry I'm late in posting I don't usually read below the line, this time my finger slipped and I happened to see your name. Your illness puts me in mind of "New York CPR" One stands over the stricken individual, leans in close and says in a loud voice: "Get up before you fucking die." Allow me to paraphrase: "Get out of the hospital before you fucking die." your friend, Chance |
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update - out of ICU! From: Rapparee Date: 17 Sep 09 - 11:14 PM Around here, they say, "Get up or they'll take you to that damn hospital." Works every time, too. Told a seven-week-gone corpse that and the fella was dancing the next night and fathered three more kids before he moved to Seattle and died. |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update - out of ICU! From: My guru always said Date: 18 Sep 09 - 04:00 AM Hey, did anone see the advert at the bottom of this thread for 'Pet Anal Gland Remedy'???? It's disappeared now but see what you've started LH *grin* |
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update - out of ICU! From: Little Hawk Date: 18 Sep 09 - 09:05 AM I'll be darned. Well, Dachshunds do have trouble with their anal glands, so I'm glad someone is coming to the rescue. |
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update - out of ICU! From: open mike Date: 18 Sep 09 - 12:35 PM the best part about getting back home will be wearing real clothes again...not the gowns that are often doomed to wardrobe failure worse than Janet Jackson experienced...... you might need a pair of these to complete your outfit. http://www.mcphee.com/shop/products/Handerpants.html |
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update - out of ICU! From: Hollowfox Date: 18 Sep 09 - 02:09 PM (Jay-sus! I go walkabout for a bit and I come back to this...) Well, 'Spaw, I'm glad you're out of ICU. When you'r ell enough to complain, they know you're not sick enough to be in ICU any more. Now fagawdsakes, stop with the over-testosteronated assholery of saying "I'm not sick" until wou have to be wheeled into the hospital! It's not just hard on you, it's hard on Karen and the boys, not to mention all us slack-jawed idiots here at the 'Cat. Don't make me get all Mommy on your sorry ass! Now, down to business. Good thoughts and prayers are rushing to you and yours right now, and the Gen-u-ine Pure-Bred Midwestern $#@!-reduction candle series will start up when I get home from work. |
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update - out of ICU! From: gnu Date: 18 Sep 09 - 02:20 PM Yo, Spaw... I decided to keep my old truck for at least a few more months so you can rest up some more in the spa before I need your help again. Glad the pressure is off you now and you can relax. |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw update - out of ICU! From: katlaughing Date: 18 Sep 09 - 04:38 PM Yes!! He sounds SO much better! Just got off the phone with him. He is going home tomorrow morning! He will be back online in a day or two. I told him not to rush it, but he's got to do some other computer stuff, anyway, so we might have a sighting in a couple of days. You folks are wonderful! kat |
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw - home on Saturday! From: gnu Date: 18 Sep 09 - 05:02 PM Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh |
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw - home on Saturday! From: Hollowfox Date: 18 Sep 09 - 05:08 PM Yeah, Kat, I haven't been able to visit every day lately. My life isn't so much a disaster as it is cluttered. Do you realize that Spaw is coming home on Talk Like A Pirate Day? |
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw - home on Saturday! From: katlaughing Date: 18 Sep 09 - 05:29 PM LOL..uh-oh...I think maybe he's been practising in hospital with an Arrgggh here and there whilst being drained, pumped up, and various other invasive "procedures." Here's to a decluttering of life! |
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw - home on Saturday! From: jeffp Date: 18 Sep 09 - 05:43 PM Great news! Thanks, kat, for keeping us informed. |
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw - home on Saturday! From: Peace Date: 18 Sep 09 - 05:45 PM Good news, indeed! |
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw - home on Saturday! From: Jeri Date: 18 Sep 09 - 05:53 PM I'm willing to bet they made the mistake of letting him eat something and now just long for the good ol' days when the only thing that flammable was O2. I'm sincerely glad he's doing that much better. |
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw - home on Saturday! From: Fortunato Date: 18 Sep 09 - 07:06 PM Good. I'm sure the nurses will be glad to see the backside of him, but I suppose they've seen that already. 'Spaw, when you read this and you're back home safe and sound, imagine me with my tongue sticking out going "thppppppppppssss". cheers chance |
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw - home on Saturday From: Andrez Date: 18 Sep 09 - 08:07 PM If the measure of how well a person is cared for is the amount of sh*t that is dumped, shovelled, thrown, hurled or otherwise propelled at them, then 'Spaw is well and truly loved. On the scale of 1 to 10 on the Sh*t-O-Meter he must be a 12, and if laughter can heal all then he'll live and post on the 'Cat for another century or two at least! Dunno if I'll be around that long though :-( Cheers, Andre |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw - home on Saturday From: Janie Date: 18 Sep 09 - 09:26 PM Once home, don't you dare shake hands or let the kids touch you before thoroughy washing or sanitizing their hands. They will be glad they did, rather to have to deal with your sorry ass in the hospital! Love, Janie |
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw - home on Saturday From: VirginiaTam Date: 19 Sep 09 - 04:01 AM Woot! Wow! Wonderful! Make him take it easy. No taxing himself with undue outbursts of profanity. |
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw - home on Saturday! From: scouse Date: 19 Sep 09 - 12:01 PM Didn't know Spaw was Ill as I'm just back from Hols. Get well soon please.. As Aye, Phil |
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw - home on Saturday! From: Rapparee Date: 19 Sep 09 - 03:23 PM It's the enemas he'll still need that'll make him holler "ARRGH! me hearties!" -- especially when they miss with hose. |
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw - home on Saturday! From: gnu Date: 19 Sep 09 - 04:45 PM Ya needs a proper hoser eh! |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw - home on Saturday! From: John MacKenzie Date: 19 Sep 09 - 05:05 PM Well where is the flatulent fool, has he been sprung yet? Is he being returned to the bosom of his family because he's better, or because the hospital have had enough of his stories about the Reg Boys? Enquiring minds and all that. JM |
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw - home on Saturday! From: Rapparee Date: 19 Sep 09 - 06:15 PM I understand that he was tossed out of the horsespittle because they couldn't keep him under a fume hood big enough and the EPA got after them for the unnecessary, illegal, and totally unjustified release of noxious fumes. |
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw - home on Saturday! From: Peace Date: 19 Sep 09 - 07:31 PM Four days in the hospital and he took a turn for the nurse . . . . |
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw - home on Saturday! From: katlaughing Date: 19 Sep 09 - 08:05 PM Bobert, he did get your card! He also got all of the other ones from the hospital e-card link.:-) I am sure it's going to take him a day or two to settle in at home, folks...energy level is still depleted some, ya know? |
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw - home on Saturday From: Amos Date: 19 Sep 09 - 09:32 PM With friends like us, he doesn't NEED enemas! A |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw - home on Saturday! From: catspaw49 Date: 20 Sep 09 - 11:50 AM Well first.....Thanks to you all and as usual there are never enough words to say what is really in my heart. I do want some of you to know I was able to deliver all the babies successfully ...... Kendall sent me a lovely photo card---a fuck you right back atcha' ...... and Bobertz card put me in the mood as well as the staff. In all seriousness I will come back with more detail about this nasty one later but the pneumonia took over 50% of the volume in both lungs and the Docs say it will be at least 6 weeks to fully recover and assure its gone. Folks, this one was bad. I feel pretty good but get tired almost immediately.....simply amazing how weak I am......and a bit depressing as well. So I'm gonna' take it easy getting back here as well. I had a few laughs in the hospital as well though which will add to my continued collection of dumb medical crappola. Thanks again and I'm damn glad to be out and about again, even if a little slower! Much love to you all. And Greg? Dodged another one old buddy --- LOL..... Spaw |
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw - home on Saturday! From: gnu Date: 20 Sep 09 - 12:01 PM YO SPAW!!!! |
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw - home on Saturday! From: jacqui.c Date: 20 Sep 09 - 12:09 PM Whew! So glad to see you back at the keyboard Spaw. Glad you liked the card. Now, keep on keeping on, relax and do exactly as Karen tells you. She knows what's best right now so if she tells you to go boil your head you know enough to do just that! |

Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw - home on Saturday! From: Ebbie Date: 20 Sep 09 - 12:25 PM There is a reason why you named yourself 'CATspaw', Spaw. Congratulations to us all! |
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw - home on Saturday! From: Alice Date: 20 Sep 09 - 12:40 PM So... I wasn't the only one who sent you the "It's a Boy!" card! Great to see you back! All the best, Alice |
Subject: RE: BS: Spare thoughts for Spaw - home on Saturday! From: gnu Date: 20 Sep 09 - 12:45 PM Ebbie... "Congratulations to us all!" How perfectly fitting. Almost brought a tear to my eye... the good one. You have reminded me by that concise accolade of the contributions Pat has made to The Mudcat Café in so many ways over the years. The writings and stories, being a friend to all, leading the way in fund drives, defending and supporting the policies that make this vauable resource what it is, and using his unique vernacular to call a broke d... you know, amongst others. Congrats indeed. Thanks Ebbie. Now... enough of that. Six weeks before you can take a good kick in the nuts? Brings a tear to me bad eye. |
