Subject: RE: Art Thieme-UPDATE - He's BACK!!! From: katlaughing Date: 20 Mar 12 - 06:56 PM Well, he is still there and doing okay. Ups and downs, but glad to hear from you all via my phone call (I read him your messages.) Carol was asleep. He said she's had her ups and downs but they have really good psychiatric help and, when he has a tough day, he keeps reminding himself it is the best place for them both to be. Friends in town (the Donnellys? I know they've posted to this) have had him over to their house and brought in live music for St. Patrick's Day. He esp. was glad I called because he wanted me to pass on a message. His computer went nuts, they think because of Norton, so his son, Chris, has it at home to talk some sense into it. He is still going to PT and does find it difficult to type, but doesn't think a VOC program would be much help because of his inconsistent voice quality and ability. It sounds like short phone calls are the best way to stay in touch, for now. He said, they used to tell him 70 was old and, now...he knows it! He and Carol just had their 45th anniversary in January. That's all for now, kat |

Subject: RE: Art Thieme-UPDATE - He's BACK!!! From: Waddon Pete Date: 20 Mar 12 - 07:16 AM Yes, Art and Carol have been in my thoughts too. It's always good to 'hear' Art on the forum as well as on CD! Best wishes, Peter |

Subject: RE: Art Thieme-UPDATE - He's BACK!!! From: Stilly River Sage Date: 20 Mar 12 - 12:13 AM I've also wondered if Art is "punishing" those around him with his wicked humor. Keep in touch, Art! SRS |

Subject: RE: Art Thieme-UPDATE - He's BACK!!! From: katlaughing Date: 20 Mar 12 - 12:01 AM Just to let Art know we're thinking of him. It's been awhile since he posted. I hope the therapy is going well. Has anyone spoken to him, recently? I thought I'd give him a call later in the week. Anywho, Art, if you read this, "Hello! to you and Carol!" luvyakat |

Subject: RE: Art Thieme-UPDATE - He's BACK!!! From: gnu Date: 07 Jan 12 - 08:30 PM Second that. I haven't had a twenty year old lass help me out in the shower for 35 years. Sounds like yer doin okay. |

Subject: RE: Art Thieme-UPDATE - He's BACK!!! From: katlaughing Date: 07 Jan 12 - 04:30 PM Well, Art called me back. He was a little dismayed because he didn't have very strong of a voice, but still sounded like the Art we all know and love. It seems there's been a bad cold running through the place catching up with folks. About two weeks ago all he could do was whisper. They now have him on antibiotics and it seems to be getting better. He said he heard on the news that they announced a cure for MS. He's going to be following that closely. I told him we keep up our Mudcat mojo and see it happening. They have him walking every day down the hallway with a walker which is good. With his indomitable way of looking at the bright side of life, he joked about having a 20-year-old girl give him his shower this morning. LOL With the constant therapy and complications/aggravations of MS, his energy is pretty well spent by the end of the day, or even earlier. So, not much time is spent on the computer. We talked about how it is when our bodies are recovering and trying to mend...the energy just isn't there to interact much. I am sure cards, letters, etc. are welcome and go a long way in helping. Grandkids do even more...he's really proud of them and his son and daughter-in-law. Holding Art and Carol in the light and in our hearts, kat & Rog |

Subject: RE: Art Thieme-UPDATE - He's BACK!!! From: katlaughing Date: 07 Jan 12 - 11:04 AM I just spoke to Carol. Art is going to therapy three times per day and is doing better, though he gets tired out because of the MS. He was out when I called, at therapy. Carol sounded really good and positive about her knee and their new digs. They get to see a LOT more of their son and his family which will be increased by one sometime in July! Carol says their grandchildren are very loving, being read Shakespeare and the seven year old is even quoting from memory. Wonder where she gets that from?**BG** They did indeed just have their 45th. It was on the 3rd. I only missed the date by a few days. More later after Art calls back. kat |

Crystal Lake looks great on Google Earth - we can even see (I think) the place where you live (other 'catters: see Katlaughing's post 09 Dec 11 - 07:19 PM for address and post - sorry ZIP - code). Almost feels like we can project our good thoughts straight to you from all over the world. Best wishes to you both, Pete. |

Subject: RE: Art Thieme-UPDATE - He's BACK!!! From: bbc Date: 16 Dec 11 - 06:02 PM Hi, Art. How great to hear your "voice" again! And how wonderful that Chris was able to you get you & Carol into a good living situation! I'm glad the finger is no worse than it is. Settle in for the holidays & enjoy, my friend! And kat, thank you so much for keeping us informed! love, Barbara |

Subject: RE: Art Thieme-UPDATE - He's BACK!!! From: katlaughing Date: 16 Dec 11 - 05:41 PM I just returned Art's phone call from last night. He sounded pretty good. He said he had typed up a new post to kind of clarify what he'd written, but it got lost. I told him we all knew what he meant anyway that he didn't need to worry about it. He had a great time today with PT, actually walked 100 paces with a walker! Their goal is to optimize what he is able to do for more mobility, etc. I don't want to steal all of what he has to tell us but, friends who live nearby are picking them up and taking them to dinner at their house. They both sound very excited about the thought of getting out and about for the first time in ages. He also sounded pretty tickled that the nursing home folks have learned that he had "another life"...some of them were fans and let the others know. I told him he better watch out they'll have him singing or telling tall tales any time. His voice is still rough from medications, but I told him if we all start beaming our Mudcat mojo at his throat, ya never know what might open up! It is so good to have him back and to be able to visit with him. I know he'll be back soon for another posting. Sure made him happy to come back and read all of your postings and see that the same wonderful people are still good members in standing at the Mudcat Café!*bg* kat |
