Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's new thread -Update 9 March 2010 From: catspaw49 Date: 10 Mar 10 - 05:55 PM So Karen and I left here as soon as she came home at 8:30 this morning and I took the hospital phone number I had looked up with me. After meetings with two attorneys followed by three school officials we then picked up Tris and stopped for lunch. Next, and in between my two Docs appointments in the afternoon, Karen stopped by her lab so Tris could schmooze with "Aunt Cheryl" who is constantly sending him things. I stayed in the car and called Kendall. I was going to tell you how sorry I was about another hospitalization but how confident I was that all would work out. I was going to tell you that you need to to say thanks to any powers that you have stock in for Jacqui and your fine daughters. I was even going to put in a special word for Sins and how glad I am she moved up there. I had a few other admissions I was going to tell you too. But you were gone. Gone home. Nobody but the operator to talk to there. It was exceedingly disappointing on a number of levels and I was also sort of pissed I had gone to all the trouble to look up the number, take it along with me, work a call into my schedule on this somewhat busy day, and be prepared to to tell you how much I actually DO worry about your sagging old ass. But you were gone. So I am now left to just post here to you and after all of the above including the pissed off disappointment, I have decided to simplify my message................... ............go fuck yourself............ Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's new thread -Update 9 March 2010 From: Rapparee Date: 09 Mar 10 - 08:24 PM Jacqui, make him catch them himself. That'll do him a world of good. |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's new thread -Update 9 March 2010 From: TRUBRIT Date: 09 Mar 10 - 07:56 PM If you want to have the lobsters here, consider it done!!!!!!!!! |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's new thread -Update 9 March 2010 From: jacqui.c Date: 09 Mar 10 - 07:29 PM It's OK VT - that incident happened two years ago at another hospital. I've made sure that Maine Med is well aware of what noise levels do to Kendall's stress ratings. Right now he is slightly deaf - most likely catarrh in the Eustachian Tubes - so can manage any noise that may be around. The good news is that, when I went in this morning, he looked about 200% better than yesterday. They had fed him a sleeping pill and Benylin and he had a good night's sleep for the first time in about two weeks. He had finished with one lot of antibiotics, has only one more shot of one of the others and they may finish the third one orally, rather than by IV. They are starting him on blood thinners, as they are still concerned that his heart rate is a bit too fast, but, if he continues to improve the way he has he should be allowed out late tomorrow, or, failing that, Thursday. He has been up and walking around the ward, which is excellent, and just looks so much brighter. We finally got the laptop connected to the internet (thank you Jess!) so he has had that to play with today. Right now we're planning on lobster for dinner when they let him loose - he deserves that! |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's new thread -Update 9 March 2010 From: gnu Date: 09 Mar 10 - 05:25 PM VT... ahhhh, nevermind. |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's new thread -Update 9 March 2010 From: VirginiaTam Date: 09 Mar 10 - 05:13 PM and I am still here... sending wishes for speedy recovery and willing some nurse to get her finger out and go unplug that TV. |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's new thread -Update 6 March 2010 From: SINSULL Date: 09 Mar 10 - 09:55 AM The Captain finds hospitals very stressful. The last time he was in Mercy he found himself in Cardiology because of the stress brought on by constant noise (an old fart with a TV and radio going loud enough to be heard out by the elevators) and sleep interruptions. The hospital's attitude was that the old man wanted it on so it stayed on - screw everyone else. Keep in mind the TV was fitted with a personal speaker but the crank refused to use it. I was having heart palpitations listening to the stupidity of the nurses explaining that they couldn't make him turn it down. So I am not surprised that Kendall is having palpitations. He wants to be home in his own bed but even he knows he is not well enough to come home yet. Meantime Jacqui is on the visiting hours roller coaster. Becca and Deb are helping her out. Good people like their Dad. SINS |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's new thread -Update 6 March 2010 From: Rapparee Date: 08 Mar 10 - 10:41 PM Yeah, I was thinking that if his heart beats faster only when Jacqui is visiting.... |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's new thread -Update 6 March 2010 From: Leadfingers Date: 08 Mar 10 - 10:40 PM Its all been said by the rest of the Gang !! Kendall , you jst make sure you make it over here with Jacqui , or I will send My Old Mom over there to sort you out ! She is REALLY looking forward to meeting you !! |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's new thread -Update 6 March 2010 From: GUEST,julia & fred Date: 08 Mar 10 - 10:36 PM Jacqui- you always did make his heart go pitter pat! We are thinking warm thoughts of you both and envisioning better times- how about a summer singsong in our new ceilidh palace? Hold that thought hugs from Round Pond |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's new thread -Update 6 March 2010 From: maeve Date: 08 Mar 10 - 09:50 PM Thanks, Jacqui. Love to you both. m |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's new thread -Update 6 March 2010 From: GUEST,Dani Date: 08 Mar 10 - 09:39 PM "his heart occasionally beats a little too fast" should I wait to send him the card I have in mind?! Dani |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's new thread -Update 6 March 2010 From: TRUBRIT Date: 08 Mar 10 - 08:25 PM Kendall - get well -- I already told you........DUH MAYOR SAYS SO.... (which new Indian restaurant???) |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's new thread -Update 6 March 2010 From: gnu Date: 08 Mar 10 - 08:07 PM Here's my card.... Get well RFN! if not sooner. Continued T&Ps for all of youse. garygnu |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's new thread -Update 6 March 2010 From: Tinker Date: 08 Mar 10 - 07:43 PM Nah... Spaw, I'll whisper whatever I have to reveal in Kendall's ear while I deliver his next backrub ..... but only under Jacqui's watchful eye..... |
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's new thread -Update 6 March 2010 From: jacqui.c Date: 08 Mar 10 - 07:25 PM Update. I went in early this morning after a 7.00am phone call from Kendall to say that he had had some breathing problems. They had decreased the oxygen supply and he wasn't ready for that. He could be better - he's still got some pneumonia and they are concerned that his heart occasionally beats a little too fast, but I think that is down to the stress of the illness and not getting enough rest. They finally gave him a sedative to help him relax and will be giving him a sleeping tablet tonight to see if he can get some quality sleep. Hopefully that will sort out the heart problem. He's had various tests, ECG, CAT scan, bloodwork and we're waiting for the result of those to come back. His ENT was in today and checked on his throat. Apart from some inflammation at the surgery site, which is to be expected, he looks fine in that regard, which set Kendall's mind at ease a little. I can't see him coming out for at least a couple of days right now - he's still on oxygen and intermittent IV antibiotics to clear the infection. We'll take it day by day. If you want to send a card he's in Room 512 Richards, Maine Medical Center 22 Bramhall Street, Portland, Maine 04102. |
