Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2015 From: Rapparee Date: 21 Jul 15 - 11:25 PM Had a basal cell carcinoma removed on July 7. I shall have a neat-o scar to lie about, I think. Right there on my right jaw, just in front of the ear. I don't think I'll show y'all the scars from my double hernia surgery back in March. Them's kinda private in private places. Yum! Calamari in lime jello! |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2015 From: Severn Date: 21 Jul 15 - 11:13 PM Wow! I got quite a warmup before I even started! Traditionally, the Mudcat Recovery Ward has been a place to air out one's real ailments and then have them attempted to be cured by a mythical medical staff of our own invention, a staff that has grown over the years as needed. Anyway, I had a spot on the back of my hand that was diagnosed as a Squamouse cell Carcinoma from the biopsy that should be easily removed, and there were some precancerous spots that should be taken care of with a cream. Nothing much to worry about, unlike past cancer and burns that had me join the Mudcat gang in here. How well do any of us really know the back of our hand, even some guys who claim to know it intimately? '"Squaw Moose Cell"?, says my Canadian friend Gnu, who is in here to consult with his gnurologist. "Yep.", I reply. "I'm going over to Dermitology to Dr. Lance Boyle's office to consult with and flirt with his lovely tatooed nurse, Tanya Hyde, and then I'll check out who else is still around......... |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2015 From: frogprince Date: 21 Jul 15 - 09:51 PM gnu, best thoughts for that friend from here, too; I have a very itchy feeling I may know who we're speaking of, but the thoughts are there whether or not I'm right. Dean (and Judy). |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2015 From: Janie Date: 21 Jul 15 - 09:33 PM Best wishes to your friend, gnu. and Voila! Here I am to help! Oh dear. I didn't mean to spill the bedpan on the bed. Sorry. Was only trying to help. Squid, come sharply now, in dire need of a few extra arms! |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2015 From: GUEST,HiLo Date: 21 Jul 15 - 08:21 PM All the kindest and dearest to your friend gnu. I wish well also and hope to see your humourous here more often . |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2015 From: GUEST, ^*^ Date: 21 Jul 15 - 07:59 PM I see a tinder dry christmas tree up in the rafters - and a pile of dry needles on the floor beneath it. Careful! . . . oops, spoke too late. Those needles are slippery, gnu. Good thing you didn't have a beer in your hand to spill. Go on, get settled in your favorite booth and I'll buy you a beer. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2015 From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 21 Jul 15 - 07:58 PM more good wishes heading your way & I might be joining your friend next week if my surgery date is not changed again - "just" a simple thyroid operation, nothing malignant, but it needs removing 'cos the long-term nodes are overactive, & an operation & overnight stay in hospital is waaaaay beyond my comfort zone sandra |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2015 From: jacqui.c Date: 21 Jul 15 - 07:29 PM All the best to your friend Gnu - I'll be sending good thoughts into the ether. Has anyone checked if the squid is in the Jello pit? I could fancy some Calamari about now....... |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2015 From: gnu Date: 21 Jul 15 - 07:25 PM Thanks, all. I dunno if my friend will even see this. I dunno if my friend will join in, given the circumstances. Maybe I should have let my friend start a thread as I encouraged. Perhaps I jumped the gun? I have been known to be rash and rather outspoken to the point of my detriment at times. So. There it is for what it is... or... what it was. Whatever. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2015 From: GUEST,pete from seven stars link Date: 21 Jul 15 - 05:35 PM we should at least be thankful that the trolls have not ventured, by and large, into the friends and well wishers type threads. likewise wishing, gnu, your friend, a slaying of the dragon and a good recovery. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2015 From: maeve Date: 21 Jul 15 - 03:36 PM Still here, gnu, and sending warm thoughts to your friend. There is always room for another friendly, kind thread. Maeve |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2015 From: fat B****rd Date: 21 Jul 15 - 03:23 PM All the very best to you and your friend Gnu. Whilst I respect anyone's right to raise an issue here, it 's good to see lots of non-combative members joining in on the friendly, inquiry and/or musical threads. I value the links I have with a small but treasured handful of members and am always willing to know more. Charlie. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2015 From: GUEST,# Date: 21 Jul 15 - 03:16 PM Best of luck to you all. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2015 From: Megan L Date: 21 Jul 15 - 03:10 PM May recovery be full it has been quiet of late the rainbow thread is good but I have wondered if it has in some ways contributed to the decline in that all the good thoughts are compacted into one thread rather than supply relief throughout the board. Any way we do what we think is right at the time so someone go check what that dodgy nurse is putting in the drips it smelt suspiciously like like Highland Park. |
Subject: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2015 From: gnu Date: 21 Jul 15 - 02:47 PM Got a PM on Facebook. It was about past Mudcat Recovery Ward threads and The Tavern threads and others. It lamented the passing of the "old" Mudcat and Mudchat. I know my long time Mudcat friend probably won't start a recovery ward thread even facing "minor" cancer surgery or a tavern thread or those creative writing threads and so on. I tried to console by saying that trolls drove people away to other media and that they should "go for it" and see what happens. So... this thread is for my good friend. I hope that surgery slays the dragon and that you heal well and quickly. I just wish the lament about Mudcat regulars leaving wasn't the case. Maybe it's time for a Mudcat Recovery? I myself am doubtful as the same old trolls still lurk and be jerks and it appears the old school Mudcatters just can't be arsed anymore... even ME! >;-) |
