I'll be honest and say I have a few selfish and weak tears going on here with this news but I'll try to learn from the courage and patience you have both shown over this last few years. Wish like hell I was there though. My love to you both xxxx

I love Kendall's voice, whatever it sounds like or doesn't.

Selfish tears here too. More selfish - I would rather have Captain Morse without his voice than not at all. He could lose his leather coat and hat, his guitar, his beautiful blue eyes and he would still be dearly loved.


Notice I didn't mention the banjo...

Come home, Kendall and Jacqui.Time to get pretty for the GRAMMYs and then gird up for another battle.

Dear hearts, Adding my voice to the chorus of heartfelt wishes already expressed on this thread. So many on both sides of the Atlantic love and care for you both. I'm one of them. Holding you in my heart and wishing you strength, courage, freedom from fear--and, of course, a successful surgery and complete recovery. Take care of your dear selves. Much love, Kathy

Had a hard time reading this thread in early morn. Had no words except the generic, albeit heartfelt, "T&Ps".

Having had time to re-read it and after some more thought... what Spaw said... just... fuck.

(A quick aside here: Last night I dreamt that I was making pun after pun and I laughed thinking about Severn and Art Thieme. Those around me had no idea of what I was laughing about.)

Have a good and happy day, Kendall and Jacqui.

Thanks all. It's good to have such friends.

We're back home now and feeling a bit more positive about what is to come.

I have two weeks to go into full organising mode.

I will be working on an entertainment kit for Kendall - a good set of noise reduction headphones and, most likely a basic Ipod stocked with the music he enjoys, his Walkman for tapes and a selection of books. We will have to check if they can supply a laptop or if he can have his in the hospital. whatever we can do to make the stay more tolerable will be worth it in the long run.

I will be staying with his daughter in Derry NH, probably taking Seamus with me, so will need my own survival pack of books and craftwork etc.

His daughters will be involved in the planning, so I don't have to go it alone. We will get through all of this and, with luck and a good surgeon, there could be more voice in the future.

When I went to bed Friday night I thought what if I don't wake up? Would I really give a shit? It kept me awake all night thinking, what could be worse than a singer losing his voice; then it dawned on me; losing his whole voice box and talking through a sound amplifier. Felt pretty sorry for myself for a while, then Jacqui and I talked it over and she reminded me that I have been saying all along that I would do almost anything to get my voice back, and this is the only shot I have available. In addition, I am involved with the best in the business; if he's good enough for Julie Andrews he's good enough for me.

So, as soon as they schedule the butchery I'm off to Bean Town and two weeks of misery in a friggin' hospital.

Job didn't give up and he was older than I am. Besides, I'm a Taurus and we are stubborn.

Kendalldarlin'...it is good to hear you standing up and taking charge. Glad you stayed awake and figured out that it is worth being here. Very thankful you have Jacqui and your daughters to help out. Thanks to you both for updating us.

Oh, and as a mother of a male Taurus and the daughter of one, I can attest to their stubbornness...must be part of why I love you, too!

A place down here sells Habanero powder. Want some? (An eye wash made with it stings a bit, but it really clears my eyes up (not to mention my sinuses).

You still feeling yourself Kendall? How's YOUR vision?

Date: 16 Jan 10 - 08:23 PM

How did you get brave enough to use a habanero eyewash, the first time? Jeri, I have a whole new level of respect for you! (You were already right up there, too.)

My husband and my son are both typical Taurii; what's a quadruple Virgo to do? (Answer: Choice of two strategies: hide, or learn to vault as they did in ancient Greece -- by seizing the bull by the horns.)

Hugs all 'round. And sending a round of drinks to the cellar from the tavern, through the convenient wormhole I've had installed.

Two reasons why I could stand it:
It was diluted (and strained, obviously), and I tried a teeny bit first.
Korea. I learned to love hot foods. I also did some research on it. Basically, the 'hot' is just sensed and, while it increases blood flow because your body thinks it's being burnt, there's no actual damage. I gather that if it seriously fools your body, you can end up with blisters. I'm not sure how that works.

Sorry for the thread creep. Back to Kendall and his proclivities.

And speaking of Thread Creeps, I thought I'd drop by and see if Kendall is still feeling himself.

Actually Kendall has an ulterior motive.....not that he doesn't enjoy the act but he also saw a Doc down in Boston who said he could transplant the hair from the Captain's hands to his head and cure Kendall's baldness. Then all he'll have to deal with is the accompanying blindness...............

Sure, Tink, what can I get you? I was just filling up a cask of single malt for Seamus to wear home, but there's plenty of room in his saddlebags for a few bottles too. I'm sure he won't mind, will ya fella? Seamus? Seamus? Aw shucks he fell asleep and he's sprawled, head in the tavern, ass in the cellar. Sigh. Well, we can just jump over him I guess. What'll it be?
