Subject: RE: BS: Katlaughing Need Good Thoughts From: CapriUni Date: 28 Dec 04 - 07:04 PM Well, with the season, and beer an ale being the cure of choice, I think this calls for a Mudcat Wassail. Whatcha say? |

Subject: RE: BS: Katlaughing Need Good Thoughts From: LadyJean Date: 28 Dec 04 - 07:13 PM Dear Kat, you have my good thoughts. You also have the following: Steak Salad Aunty Jean's Primo Remedy for Anemia Take a pound and a half of flank steak, slice it thin, and chase it around a frying pan in two tablespoons of olive oil. (Any oil will do, but olive is best.) with a small onion, sliced. Shred, as much spinach as you like, with some bib lettuce. Place the lettuce on a plate, top with the steak and onions. Consume. Steak and spinach, it's so full of iron it's been known to set off metal detectors. I came up with this recipe when my mother was having chemo. |

Subject: RE: BS: Katlaughing Need Good Thoughts From: catspaw49 Date: 28 Dec 04 - 08:41 PM Heard from the girl about an hour ago and she'll be staying in the hospital a few more days until they get the stuff figured out a bit better. There are a couple of good things about that. First, it's easier to get all the testing done if you're there already. Seriously now, have you ever ben sick and your Doc has you running all over town for days and weeks getting this test or that test or something?I've found that if you're in there they'll run tests after test, tests about tests, and tests just to fill in the time! As hospitlas can get prettty boring, this gives you something to look forward to AND you get results much sooner. Hospitals also keep a supply of quality drugs on hand. If you ask nicely and complain about pain, you can cop a quality buzz anytime you feel like it! People often make jokes about sleeping in hospitals but just be sure you have a sleeping pill ordered anyway. I have always gotten better sleep in the joint than I get at home! THE WORST THING IS OF COURSE BOREDOM! No problem though, just slow down the pace! I have more experience than most, but believe me you can slowly and methodically spend a complete hour eating just one orange! Eat all the meals slowly and chew well. When you order the meals the day before, always get an extra this or that and hide it so you have something to do in the middle of the night. Showers if they are allowed can be a great time waster. Carefully organizing this and that beforehand in the shower, etc.........time flies when you're bored stiff if you know what to do! The Docs are looking at a several situations in kat's case and she LIKES her Docs which is pretty important of course. She also says the place has a great reputation and a nice staff so she's hanging in and hoping they come up with some answers soon. There may be surgery involved and there may not. Let's all just keep the good thoughts and beers going in her direction and I know the real power of the 'Cat will come through. Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Katlaughing Need Good Thoughts From: Lonesome EJ Date: 28 Dec 04 - 09:07 PM "Katlaughing Need Good Thoughts"? All of my thoughts about Kat are good. Listen. Write a poem, strum your dulcimer, tell Rog a joke, FEEL BETTER! Y'hear Darlin? :>} LEJ |

Subject: RE: BS: Katlaughing Need Good Thoughts From: bet Date: 28 Dec 04 - 09:07 PM Hey Spaw, thanks for the up-date. I called earyl this a.m. and just got home to find her phone busy, bet it was you. Glad you got to talk to her. I'll call her later just to keep her company. Hang in there sis. I think it's beer time now! Should make quilting interesting! bet |

Subject: RE: BS: Katlaughing Need Good Thoughts From: hesperis Date: 28 Dec 04 - 09:10 PM Floradix has a really good-tasting liquid iron supplement, it's in berry syrup, good for vegetarians. Put just a capful in a glass of dark grape juice every day and YUM! It's a little expensive though so if you like spinach and steak go for that instead. lol Steve's mom has a FANTASTIC recipe for spinach, even the former spinach hater (me) loves it. If you want I can ask for it and PM it to you. Spinach is usually good with cheese for some reason, like in spanakopita. Best of luck in your recovery! |

Subject: RE: BS: Katlaughing Need Good Thoughts From: Little Neophyte Date: 28 Dec 04 - 11:29 PM Thanks for the update Catspaw. You know, you can even ask for special things on those menu cards. Usually you will get your request if it isn't outrageous. Kat I am sending you lots of big hugs & loving thoughts. I'd make you some chicken soup but it would probably not be wise to eat by the time it arrived. Lots of love, Bonnie |

Subject: RE: BS: Katlaughing Need Good Thoughts From: Áine Date: 29 Dec 04 - 02:46 PM Just saw this thread today. Shinola, girl friend -- Can't leave you alone for a minute and here you go gettin' all sick and stuff!! Well, we can't have that now, can we?! So, I guess I'll be sending a certain trio up there to keep you company and make sure those ol' docs are doing their job. What the heck, those three like you better than they do me anyways ;-) I'm thinking that you'll be just fine after this lil' visit -- lord knows, you've been needing a good tune up for a while (hehehehehehe). Just don't let 'em kick yer tires too hard!! Relax, listen to the medicos, and get better -- we need you back ASAP, dang it. Big hugs and snogs, Áine |

Subject: RE: BS: Katlaughing Need Good Thoughts From: CarolC Date: 29 Dec 04 - 02:46 PM My mother was found to be anemic even though she was getting plenty of iron in her diet. Her doctor had her take hydrochloric acid (betaine hydrochloride) along with an iron suplement. I tend to get dangerously anemic myself, so I also take betaine hydrochloride along with an iron suplement. I only take about a quarter of a tablet of the betain hydrochloride at a time though, because any more than that causes problems with my stomach. |

Subject: RE: BS: Katlaughing Need Good Thoughts From: Alba Date: 30 Dec 04 - 06:47 AM Kat ma Darlin, Due to a power cut which was still in effect by my bedtime I didn't get to post my daily wishes to You so here are Yesterday's and Today's all rolled into one:>) Still holding You in my Heart Dearest and as there were quite a few Candles burning around the Cabin last night you got extra Light. I hope it didn't keep You awake!!! Due to no noise You were in My Thoughts undisturbed...it's amazing how quiet it is when the hum of the Refrigarator and Aquarium has stopped!!! even out here in the Backwoods:>) So absorb Jenny's Pie and all the wonderful Energy You are being sent. Lie back and think...."GETAWAY 2005" I'm sure "The Trio" made a big impact ;>) You have nothing to do but get well...AS ALL WILL BE WELL. Love Ya Sis, Light and Blessings and Healing Energy. Jude |

Subject: RE: BS: Katlaughing Need Good Thoughts From: Pistachio Date: 31 Dec 04 - 08:17 AM Best wishes from East Yorkshire. My doctor recommended DARK CHOCOLATE! It worked for me - and a bit for my waistline - but it's the comfort factor that works best. Take it steady. Hazel. |
