Subject: RE: Catspaw/Spaw in hospital From: katlaughing Date: 07 Oct 12 - 04:51 PM thanks, folks. I haven't been posting much I don't have much news and my right hand is still out of commission. Anyway I have received two or three text messages from Karen. She sends her love and thanks to all of you and promises to update me as soon as she knows something. Right now, they are still having trouble figuring out why his platelets are so low. He may have another transfusion tomorrow. The haematologist thought it might be the heparin. They did a CAT scan and there may be an infection but he is NOT running a fever and his white blood cell count is improving. thanks again to you all, luvyakat |
Subject: RE: Catspaw/Spaw in hospital From: KathWestra Date: 07 Oct 12 - 03:23 PM My first time back on Mudcat in many, many months, and it's to find this news. Pat, you've been there for me and so many others. Please know we're all thinking of you now, and hoping for your speedy recovery, and for strength, and for freedom from fear--for you, Karen & your sons. Know you're surrounded by much love. Kathy |

Subject: RE: Catspaw/Spaw in hospital From: John MacKenzie Date: 07 Oct 12 - 04:48 AM Up until a few days ago, Spaw was posting lots of political comment on his Facebook page. I'm sure he has plenty more vinegar to spare for them there pollytushuns. |

Subject: RE: Catspaw/Spaw in hospital From: CupOfTea Date: 06 Oct 12 - 12:29 PM Yikes! This is unwelcome news... His part of the state needs Spaw out there and voting and commenting on the weird position of Ohio in this election year. I'm praying for his health and energy to be restored so he can add his voice to the sensible & snarky political commentary. He's such a BIG personality & there aren't too many Mudcatters in Ohio - he's necessary, dagnabbit. Get well ya Buckeyecritter, please. Joanne in Cleveland |
Subject: RE: Catspaw/Spaw in hospital From: Rapparee Date: 06 Oct 12 - 12:07 PM I was going to post something but it's too scurrilous even for Spaw. |

I remember when I had one. The nurse took my blood pressure before and after. I asked if there was any diffence, she said "it has gone up a little but that is normal" I replied "I'm not surprised". Get well soon y'ol bugger we are all pulling for ya. (And NO! that is NOT what we are pulling) |
Subject: RE: Catspaw/Spaw in hospital From: Neil D Date: 05 Oct 12 - 11:58 PM I would reiterate what frogprince said. Spaw has been there for so many of us in tough times and I don't know what I can add - just, please get well. |

Subject: RE: Catspaw/Spaw in hospital From: Janie Date: 05 Oct 12 - 08:45 PM Pat, a beautiful and powerful harmonious chant written by one of the women in a wonderful local group you never heard of (Pomegranate Rose - disbanded a long time ago) is running through my head tonight as I think of you as well as of your family. If you have ever been to an Episcopal service, hear something like the quiet harmony that conveys that sense of holiness within each of us when the congregation chants the psalm. We have all that we need. Full blessed children of space. Light shines full on our faces, bringing love, illumination, peace. |

Subject: RE: Catspaw/Spaw in hospital - more info From: katlaughing Date: 05 Oct 12 - 01:33 PM Well done, CH! This will be brief as my right hand is out of commission. I spoke to Spaw this morning. He sounded pretty good at first, but soon sounded very tired out. His cell phone and mine do not agree with one another; I have a difficult time catching all that he says, but after talking to him and Connie, here is what I know: Things have been going wonky for the past month or so. His INR is up this week and his blood pressure was low yesterday. They are working at stabilizing him before they do a colonoscopy and/or upper GI to see if they can figure out why he needed transfusions. I will post more as I hear from Connie and/or Karen. Just my opinion, but this is one time I think I'd soft-peddle the scatological stuff. I know it's one way we all deal with our concerns, but I think I can say on behalf of Pat that it kind of wears thin, sometimes. I mean no offence to anyone. As I said, just my opinion. Thanks for all your good thoughts and energies and hugs. I know they are greatly appreciated by Pat, Karen, and the boys. luvyakat |
Subject: RE: Catspaw/Spaw in hospital From: scouse Date: 05 Oct 12 - 01:00 PM Hi Spaw always read your posts.. please,please come back to us soon.. Big pleasant thoughts coming your way from over here in dear "Cloggieland." As Aye, Phil. |
