Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: Midchuck Date: 10 Oct 04 - 01:39 PM If Kendall actually finds it painful to pull off, maybe you should rethink the whole thing.... P. |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: jacqui.c Date: 10 Oct 04 - 03:41 AM Nah - I just saw the reaction when they pulled the IV plaster off his hand after the biopsy. |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: Megan L Date: 09 Oct 04 - 03:30 PM jacqui you have been watching way to much of the salon :) |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: jacqui.c Date: 09 Oct 04 - 02:12 PM It's where you put the tape and how painful it is to pull off. Hee hee hee. |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: Ellenpoly Date: 09 Oct 04 - 05:59 AM MY GOD, WOMAN!!! You really ARE one in a million!!! ..xx..e (Think about Glow-in-the-dark Tape) |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: jacqui.c Date: 09 Oct 04 - 05:48 AM Kendall - you can flirt all you like - I ain't got a problem with that. Any further and I WILL use the duct tape! (Dark blue would be nice) |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: Áine Date: 08 Oct 04 - 10:00 AM Hey there, my favorite Yankee!! I've been AWOL from here for a while; but, I'm so glad to see that the technique to be used for your surgery won't be so invasive. Fraptious day! ;-) Be good, do what the doctors tell you (even though I know those two things are very hard for you to do - hahahaha). Big hogs and snugs, Áine |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: Tinker Date: 08 Oct 04 - 08:27 AM Kendall, not only is it GREAT news but it's a good day as well. It's also my wedding anniversary and has been a preety good day for positive energy in this household for almost 20 years. We'll have to "help" you stay quiet at Getaway... Hmmm maybe is everyone brings one roll of duct tape Jacqui might have enough to keep you quiet for a month or so of recuperation.... Just an idea...Any favorite colors Jacqui???? Tinker |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: kendall Date: 08 Oct 04 - 07:50 AM Thanks Jacqui, I couldn't have said it better myself. The big news is; I WONT BE LOSING MY VOICE BOX!! |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 08 Oct 04 - 06:44 AM Great news, Jacqui! Thanks for letting us know! And Kendall, do what the doctor says- softly! Love, Allison |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: Ellenpoly Date: 08 Oct 04 - 05:23 AM Really good news! Yes, I agree with JennyO-Feel free to rant and rave via MC, Kendall, as we'd miss you sorely if you didn't. And get your absentee ballot now (I'm just in the process of filling mine out) and let er rip! Jacqui, there's an entire website devoted to the uses of duct tape, and some are pretty imaginative ideas (thinking of your wedding night). Let me know if I should track it down for you. ..xx..e |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: katlaughing Date: 08 Oct 04 - 03:53 AM It even comes in different colours, jacqui! (Donuel, celebrate the hooters, indeed. Good to *hear* you are well despite the non-hooters.:-) kat |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: jacqui.c Date: 08 Oct 04 - 02:47 AM Duct tape - mmmmmmmmmm! |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: GUEST,Donuel Date: 07 Oct 04 - 11:22 PM While waiting for the other shoe to fall just mentally kick the crap out of the thing that ails you. Cysts wall themselves up and shrink, Cancers can be starved and shrink. Besides, you are bigger than it. This month I lost my hearing and thought I detached a retina. I see better than ever now and hear more every day. Life is a hoot. Celebrate the hooters. |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: open mike Date: 07 Oct 04 - 11:05 PM kendall-you still have time to get your absentee ballot in. so you can vote evwen though you might be indisposed on the election day! give 'em hell, and here's to a good outcome for you!! |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: katlaughing Date: 07 Oct 04 - 10:33 PM Thanks for letting us know, jacqui. He'll have to fire off a bunch of op/ed pieces about the election, hopefully chortling in glee and not having to rant at the outcome...then, knowing his rep. he can have the satisfaction of seeing them published in all the papers and here!:-) Tell him to start composing them in his mind and if he's not more quiet about things, we'll each send you a roll of duct tape to use as you see fit! Thanks givings and good thoughts from Colorado, now and throughout the time of surgery and after, luvyakat |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: SINSULL Date: 07 Oct 04 - 10:23 PM Speaking softly???? Does that mean he has taken to carrying a big stick? Be afraid, Mudcatters! Be very afraid! |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: JennyO Date: 07 Oct 04 - 10:11 PM Best of luck, Kendall - thinking of both of you and sending good wishes and healing energy from Oz. Kendall, you may not be able to rant too much with your voice for a while, but you can rant here all you like, and it won't hurt your voice at all! Jenny |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: Deckman Date: 07 Oct 04 - 08:41 PM CHEERS, Bob(deckman)Nelson |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 07 Oct 04 - 08:31 PM I hope all goes well, I don't pray , but send my sincerest thoughts and good wishes. [and i'm sure everyone else at mudcat does as well] Good Luck. john |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: Mudlark Date: 07 Oct 04 - 08:31 PM Have marked the calendar (as any more I've a mind like a seive) and will be sending escalating best wishes right through surgery and on into recovery. Take care, both of you. |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: Alaska Mike Date: 07 Oct 04 - 08:30 PM HOT DIGGITY!!!!!!! Looks like there will be additional reasons to hoist a pint in celebration at the Getaway. Thanks for the great news Jacqui. |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: jacqui.c Date: 07 Oct 04 - 08:22 PM I've just heard from Kendall who has seen the Boston specialist today. They will be operating on 2nd November and have confirmed that the cancer can be dealt with using laser surgery. At the worst, if they have problems accessing the area he may have to have a temporary tracheotomy for a few days but it is more likely that they will be able to do the work without cutting his throat! They are going to want him to stay in hospital at least overnight and he has been told that, as there is a certain amount of inflammation around the area from his forcing his voice too much (probably ranting about Bush!)he must, for the moment, start speaking more softly so not to increase the inflammation. After the operation he has to rest his voice for a while so won't be able to express his feelings about the election results very vociferously this year. |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: jacqui.c Date: 02 Oct 04 - 04:01 AM One time when we were travelling around Maine I asked Kendall what a redemption centre was. He told me that it was a place where they helped fallen women. Problem is, he is such a convincing 'storyteller' that I believed him until I saw the grin on his face. |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: Ellenpoly Date: 01 Oct 04 - 06:01 AM Look at it this way, would we have so much fun with a plainer, no-nonsense language? We'd have lost some terrific threads on mudcat, and a lot of good songs as well. ..xx..e |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: kendall Date: 01 Oct 04 - 05:50 AM We have "Redemption Centers" too. When they first came out with that, I thought it was some sort of Christian recycling place for fallen women. What's happening to plain English? |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: Roger the Skiffler Date: 01 Oct 04 - 03:57 AM THREAD CREEP WARNING: Cap'n, in the UK "Tip" and "Dump" are being replaced by "Recycling Centres" or even "Civic Amenity Sites". Seeing a sign to the latter you might turn up expecting to find a playground or sports centre and just find a landfill site! RTS (Best wishes for the treatment) |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: kendall Date: 30 Sep 04 - 07:39 PM I knew you did, but I love that word "tip" as a synonym for dump. If you think I'm going to coment on your ass,.... I may be foolish, but I'm not mad! |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: Ellenpoly Date: 30 Sep 04 - 11:22 AM Kendall, I did know the meaning of both squeaky wheels and flat tires. Sorry. Guess my humour went as flat as that tire. Never mind. I bet my ass is saggier than yours, too. ..xx..e |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: kendall Date: 30 Sep 04 - 06:47 AM Squeeky wheel gets greased. Flat tire gets thrown onto the tip. |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: Ellenpoly Date: 30 Sep 04 - 03:27 AM Glad you called them Kendall, and glad they responded. Better to be a squeaky wheel than a flat tire (I have no idea what that means.) Fingers remain crossed (and typing getting better in this position.) ..xx..e |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: GUEST Date: 29 Sep 04 - 05:14 PM You Betcha, Jacqui! |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: jacqui.c Date: 29 Sep 04 - 04:40 PM Just remember - no procedures to be carried out until AFTER the Getaway. you need to be able to say "I do"! |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: wysiwyg Date: 29 Sep 04 - 04:40 PM Just remember-- the longer it is till the surgery, the longer our prayers can work toward healing. Don't soak up all the healing power on being nervous-- aim it at your neck! :~) ~S~ |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: kendall Date: 29 Sep 04 - 04:35 PM My local ENT had a talk with the folks in Boston, and they moved my appointment to next Thursday It's the old squeeky wheel thing. |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: Rapparee Date: 29 Sep 04 - 03:51 PM Kendall -- I've been researching the subject and now have the Definitive Word About Potatoes. They are not at all what everyone thinks! You get past this surgery stuff and I'll GIVE YOU, FREE FOR NOTHING, the results of my months and months of research on the subject. You can then tell The Truth About Potatoes (and it's just as true of those produced in Maine as those produced in Idaho). |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: Tannywheeler Date: 29 Sep 04 - 02:18 PM God, I hate the C-word. Rotten damn spawn of the devil. Lost both parents (and one set of grandparents) to diff. forms of that ugliness. Not to mention various vital vertebrae in the backbone of what's best in the world. Enough reason to be angry and miserable. But raspy voice? RASPY VOICE!!!!???? Woody Guthrie, noone's idea of Pavarotti, still converts hearers, and he's been dead for how many years? I'm not a major Dylan fan, but he's another iffy-voicd singer who appeals to people. And I know folks who hold their breath listening to Dave van Ronk... It ain't the tone-quality, it's what's said. The most important job in the world is Storytelling. It's the way we learn to know truth, love, decency, beware of viciousness. You were right about lying: Real Storytellers never lie. They find verbally creative ways to present inner, eternal truths. Storytellers are NOT affordable losses. You get in to that doc, and past this laser thingy, and ROAR BACK. Serious consequences to disobeying a direct order, soldier. Tw |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: SINSULL Date: 29 Sep 04 - 12:50 PM You will have your voice through Election Day! Oh Goodie! The waiting is the worst part, Captain. You know that. The next worse is having someone else control your life. Captains aren't good at that. Turn it into lemonade - sing a thousand songs at the Getaway! And if you do "Old Rivers" I will remove your vocal chords myself. Even my patience has a limit. SINS |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: jacqui.c Date: 29 Sep 04 - 12:15 PM You mean all those stories you tell are true????? I suppose that would explain a lot...... |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: Jeri Date: 29 Sep 04 - 10:23 AM The made the appointment when they didn't know if the tumor was growing. It doesn't seem to be, so they thought it was safe to move you in and stick in some other person in there who had a giant monster tumor. Either that, or they've made a huge mistake and need to be complained at. Even if they're NOT worried, it's tough when you want to get this behind you. Does Mark have room for two? Could be a recovery period/honeymoon. Keeping your sense of humor is a good thing. |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: Stilly River Sage Date: 29 Sep 04 - 10:12 AM But I can understand Kendall's desire to have this over and done with. The waiting can be agonizing. Keep their toes to the fire! SRS |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: Amos Date: 29 Sep 04 - 09:30 AM Skipper, if the doctor now feels the urgency is abated to such a degree, why complain? At least he isn't yelling at you to get your saggy ass onto a gurney by noon!! A |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's biopsy From: kendall Date: 29 Sep 04 - 09:19 AM I don't know how to lie |
