Bobert, it just breaks my heart how you are always running down poor Chongo, a hard-working ape with a big heart, a guy who always bends over backwards to please other people and do a good job. I think you should reconsider all those thoughtless things you have said about him and make amends before his feelings get hurt and he comes down there, busts yer arms and legs, punches yer lights out, and stuffs you headfirst down the hole in the backyard privy... ;-)

Why on Earth would anyone hire Chongz... He shows up to work with a laundry list of demands... He pisses everyone off... And worse than anything, he really isn't exactly toilet trained... Like not at all...

No, Spawzer can make a call to the Reg Boyz and they'll not only do a fine job but give Spawzer some new material for when he gets out...

Best Christmas present possible is just the news that he's out of SCIU and easing off all the discomforts. New Years will be a FINE time to celebrate the holiday seasons and, hopefully, hear from his nibs himself about his generous effort to keep doctors & nurses employed.

(oh...Karen...don't bite on the offer from Chongo to 'stand guard'... he steals food off the supper trays.)

I have an idea here. Chongo needs money "bad" with the holidays approaching. "Real bad." He's willing to work at any time.

Spaw needs additional security while he's bedridden, someone to watch over him and make sure he gets treated right, and that's where Chongo comes in.

Chongo is willing to stand guard over Spaw and be in his room at all times to make sure that no one does anything they shouldn't and that all is copacetic. He will be heavily armed, because he always is. Spaw need fear nothing with Chongo on guard at the foot of the bed.

He's willing to do it for very reasonable wages too, and will while away the hours reading his entertainment magazines and perusing those nice pictures that fold out in the middle pages.

Phone information in Chicago and ask for the number of Chongo Chimp, Karen. Do it now.

In celebration and observance I have decided to make a veggie soup and chuck the rest of the beef stew I made on Saturday which is now only turnip, carrots and barley. I have passed a lot gas in your honour for three days now, Spaw, but I think my work is now done. Glad it helped.

You guys STOP IT! I had a colonoscopy on Monday. My ass hurts too (not from the procedure butt from the prep), and they wouldn't give me a doggie bag of drugs. Damn.

Staph aureus? Pseudomonas? Gonnorrhea? Glad things are improving. Hopefully, he'll start throwing Jello around soon. (preferably before it's been eaten)

His hospital room is going to need an exorcist when he is done I just know it. I bet it ain't ever heard that much cussing since it was built. Wonder how many people heard "fuckwit" over the last day or two LOL.

By the way, for me, prayers do work in my humble opinion

She should have hollered back "Your ass hurts? Good! It's been killing me for years!"

They can do a fecal transplant! And yes, that's a genuine real no-foolin' medical procedure.

Light at the end of tunnel -- sounds to me like getting a colonoscopy and an endoscopy at the same time ("Doctor! I see a light at the end of the tunnel!")

That is the same bug I got that landed me in the Hospital in Denver last summer. I went in for some chest pain while visiting the kids ... bam Pneumonia ... good news is they can clear it up but it is a stubborn one (just like Spaw) ... Well thank you Kat for the update. I am feeling a bit better now that the old fool is on the mend ...

Well done, LeeJ. You've done the guy proud.

Just spoke with Sister Connie. He is definitely on the mend, imo and hers. Troublesome stuff first: the sputum culture came back and the infection is one of the ones which are notorious for hanging out in hospitals. (I *think* I have the correct name of it, if anyone wants to know, please PM.) The best of all possible is that it means it is in his lung and NOT near his valve and/or intestines near the surgery site. REALLY good news is his temperature is down to 97.8!!

They have backed off on the pain meds and sedatives to the point that he hollered to Karen to get a nurse in there ASAP because his ass hurt! His first words, from all accounts after they took out the breathing tube. Since he's been on his back, and I know he has back problems, I can really relate. It really CAN hurt after a time! (I know you guys will take this and run with it...too many good lines there, eh?!)

Connie said he might get moved from SICU, today. She's sure they wouldn't mind as he has been so cranky.:-) She's sure he won't get out for Christmas, though, and they are planning on holding off the big Christmas meal until he is out, probably have it on New Year's Day. On Christmas, they will have other easy to fix and graze kind of food.

Thanks, folks.

I hope Spaw continues to do well. Sometimes I think he gets ill so he can challenge the docs to find out what's wrong. He seldom gets simple straight forward illnesses. This apparently started out as an appendectomy. Of course most of us have those when we're in elementary school, not 112 years old like Spaw. A simple in and out of the hospital would do. But No-o-o-o-o-, Spaw has to start spitting up blood or whatever and scaring the bejesus out of his family and his doctors and his friends on the Mudcat. However, he will have my prayers and my hope that he will get well soon.

Hey Charlie, I think I speak for all of the rest of us regarding your Tree when I say I sincerely hope you can get it up by Christmas Eve. Once you get it up, I suggest hanging some tinsel on it and putting a star on the top. If you are a married man, maybe your wife will help you hang some colored lights on it. After all, there's no reason to get it up unless it becomes the center of the celebration.

Sorry, but I knew if Spaw was here, he would find that one irresistable.

Did you not notice the huge exhaust fan on the ceiling? Spaw has been in this hospital before.
You need a better plan.

Danged, Spawzer... Now look what you done... You have Sins threatenin' to come and drag yer sorry ass outta that warm hospital bed and let Karen have it... Man, if that happens then you have just set back the development of "man" (not womanz) back, ahhhhh, let's see??? Maybe a couple of weeks... You want that??? Hell no, you don't!!! I say that the best defense is a strong offense... Know what I mean??? I'm talkiin' Reg Boyz here... I'm talkin' flagellation... Are we gonna let a bunch of womenz push us around, 'er what...

I tell ya' what, Spawzer... Seein' as yer flagellator ain't up to the task I'm gonna have my Couzin Rufus make a few calls... Yeah, we know how to fight fire with fire... No, no... Please don't light that match... That was just one of the metaphoric things... Put the match down... Man, you could blow this joint up with this su7pply of "man's not-so-secret-weapon"....

So, that's the plan, Spawzer... You detract the nurses and me, Couzin Rufus and maybe he can get then Reg Boyz (they related, ya know) to take care of Sins... She won't know what hit her... Okay, she prolly will but no matter...

But just in case, I recommend that you take them bed sheets and tie yer ass to that bed...

(Have you thought this through, Boberdz???)

Why you ask???

(Well, it sounds pretty juvenile...)

You got a point???

Not to worry, Spawzer... Ol' hillbilly got this one figurated out purdy danged good... Sins won't get within a hunnert feet of you... I mean, she'll hit that wall of, ahhhhhh, cologne and she'll be like coughin' 'n sputterin' and she'll have to come back here an' tell the rest of the womenz that we men definitely have the upper hand when it comes to this shit...

Sho nuff will...

But the best part about this is that after yer well an' ya' ain't got no half crazed womenz threatenin' to throw yer sorry ass out on the street from the ICU ward that we can get Couzin Rufe and the Reg Boyz together fir a little Christmas carolin' (wink, wink) next year... Know what I mean??? Maybe we can can Santa Claus all beaned up and fightin' for the good side???

Meanwhile, lock yer door and teach the nurses a code-knock to get in...
