Subject: RE: BS: Good Thoughts for CATSPAW From: GUEST,Dancing Mom Date: 19 Jun 01 - 09:07 PM I take care of Cardiac Surgery patients. The most rewarding thing about my job is seeing people get their problems fixed, walk out of the hospital, and get on with their lives. The DaVinci sounds amazing,and it sounds like he's in excellent hands.Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Spaw. Sending loving thoughts to you and your loved ones. Sharon |

Subject: RE: BS: Good Thoughts for CATSPAW From: Amos Date: 19 Jun 01 - 09:04 PM HEY! SPAW!!! WAKE UP!!! Someone's been dicking around with your ticker!!! Or is it docking around with your tocker? Or decking around... awww, never mind. Pat, I have never known so great a friend, from so far a distance, sing so true a note in so gruff a tone, or play so many people so clearly and smoothly, and with such fat fingers, too!!! You are deeply loved, whether anyone admits or not, so shut up and get used to it. Love, A |

Subject: RE: BS: Good Thoughts for CATSPAW From: katlaughing Date: 19 Jun 01 - 08:54 PM He is in a private room with a couch, so Karen is able to stay with him until time for her night shift in the lab, then she'll take off early to be with him before the surgery. He is comfy for now. Thanks to you all. You are all wonderful. More as I hear it. luvyakat |

Subject: RE: BS: Good Thoughts for CATSPAW From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 19 Jun 01 - 07:05 PM St Pat's on duty March 17th of course - they've got a rota. Though I imagine St Pat might be putting in a bit of overtime in the circumstances. |

Subject: RE: BS: Good Thoughts for CATSPAW From: mousethief Date: 19 Jun 01 - 07:04 PM St. Patrick's day is March 17, Sins. Not June 20. On the other side of the Carpathian mountains, the saints of the day for June 20 are: METHODIOS, BISHOP OF PATARA. Methodios sought to correct and invite the great and the ordinary to Christianity. He took issue with the early temporal writings of Plato, giving a reply in which he stressed the spiritual and moral aspects of man. He also embattled heretical ideas of the theologian, Origen, who believed the body of Jesus underwent transformation within the tomb. He would chastise the idol and sun worshippers. He would mingle with the skeptics and agnostics, attempting to encourage them to leave their false beliefs and accept the teachings of Christ. He was tortured and martyred for his faith by the pagans in the early fourth century. KALLISTOS, PATRIARCH OF CONSTANTINOPLE. Kallistos lived much of his ascetic life on Mt. Athos in sketes near Philotheou Monastery. He recorded the lives of St. Gregory the Sinaite, St. Theodosios of Trnovo, and wrote many homilies. He returned to Athos after only four years as patriarch and later was again called to serve in Constantinople. His death was foretold to him by another saint, Maximos of Kapsokalyvia. He said that he would never return from a trip to help council Queen Helena of Serbia, which came to pass. Hmmm. Well, that's the way the calenar crumbles. Alex |

Subject: RE: BS: Good Thoughts for CATSPAW From: SINSULL Date: 19 Jun 01 - 06:54 PM St. Vitalis???? They kicked St. Patrick out but left in St. Vitalis? If it is all the same to you, I will pray to the glorious sense of order in the universe to watch over our Spaw. And let St. Vitalis battle it out with BrylCreem and Dippity-Do. All the worrying in the world won't change a thing. All the worrying in the world won't change a thing. All the... |

Subject: RE: BS: Good Thoughts for CATSPAW From: Dave Swan Date: 19 Jun 01 - 06:19 PM Spaw, Since you'll read this post-operatively, I guess it's a little late to tell you about it, but I did some research out here on the left coast and found a newer surgical robot available at a reduced rate. It's called the GOLDBERG, made from recycled Volkswagen wiring and old hookah parts, it's demonstrated its efficacy in retreiveing lost roach clips from storm drains, a nylon stocking from the gullet of Beans the performing dog, and has sucessfully fished the wiring of a '62 Morgan. The inventor/operator Josh "Free Wind" Lotbotky completed his certificate in alternate reality communications and applied degaussing at the Berkeley Center for the Enchange of Information and Microbes. Although not currently accepting any of the nationally recognized health plans, Free Wind's services are available for "anything really righteous and knee-walking, man, or a Harley...yeah,...that'd be cool..." Sorry I couldn't have gotten this to you sooner. We hope this finds you on a speedy and smooth road to recovery. Love, Dave & Pam |

See you on the posts soon, I can't even bring myself to add a plug for the band... All the best, The old plugomatic,(thanks for the handle) Larry |

Subject: RE: BS: Good Thoughts for CATSPAW From: Pseudolus Date: 19 Jun 01 - 04:18 PM Never met Spaw, never talked to him in person, didn't know what he looked like until I went and saw his picture in Mudcat resources.....so why should I care if someone I never met is going to have major surgery tomorrow? How much can you care for someone you only know through the internet? .......A lot........just the beauty of Mudcat I guess...there's no other explanation. Hang in there my friend, Frank |

Subject: RE: BS: Good Thoughts for CATSPAW From: Pinetop Slim Date: 19 Jun 01 - 04:02 PM Aneurysm -- it's kind of a blister, ain't it? And you get a blister from working too hard, right? It's no wonder Spaw's got one on his heart. Thanks, Kat, for keeping us posted on the big guy and offering us an outlet to help. I'll be looking forward to him coming back soon with his virtual bear hug welcomes for newcomers and his knack for letting out the air when we get too full of ourselves. My thoughts will be with him tomorrow. -- Pinetop Slim (Mark Flanagan) |

Subject: RE: BS: Good Thoughts for CATSPAW From: GUEST,Kernow John Date: 19 Jun 01 - 03:18 PM Someone posted a prayer on Mudcat once and the essence of it was: Dear God Please look after this one for us. He can be ornery, cussed, downright vulgar and many other things. So you wouldn't want him yet and besides we aint finished with him. So like I said, take care of him for us. Amen KJ |

Subject: RE: BS: Good Thoughts for CATSPAW From: Lonesome EJ Date: 19 Jun 01 - 03:14 PM Well, Pat, since you're not going to see this until the surgery is over and you're on your way to recovery, I'll just say "leave the damn nurses ALONE!!!" |

Subject: RE: BS: Good Thoughts for CATSPAW From: Mountain Dog Date: 19 Jun 01 - 02:50 PM First off, there's no BS about this thread, regardless of how it's labeled. 'Spaw - with a heart as big as yours, there's no doubt about your ability to pull through. Thoughts, prayers and all the best will be coming your way from here. It's also a fact that the "worst" patients (i.e., combative, difficult, and just plain ornery) make the swiftest and best recovery...need I say more? ("NURSE! Another 1-liter drip of piss-and-vinegar, stat! We can't have him running low!) |

Subject: RE: BS: Good Thoughts for CATSPAW From: GUEST,Melani Date: 19 Jun 01 - 02:34 PM Go for it, Spaw! See you in ten days! |

Subject: RE: BS: Good Thoughts for CATSPAW From: mousethief Date: 19 Jun 01 - 02:34 PM Spaw is one of those people who make you think that the creation of the human race was maybe not such a bad move after all. Prayers and candles and good thoughts and songs for you, Mr. P., on account of the great love you bring to this world. May all that is good guide your surgeons and their tools, and may all that is not good get permanently lost on its way to you. Love you, man. Alex |

Subject: RE: BS: Good Thoughts for CATSPAW From: GUEST,SharonA Date: 19 Jun 01 - 02:31 PM To anonymous GUEST: Despite the fact that I am also a rabid non-smoker, I don't think this is the time or place for anything but good thoughts and hopes for catspaw's swift recovery. Venom comes in all flavors; let's us GUESTS not be the ones to leave a bad taste in someone else's mouth, okay? Thanks. To kat: Sorry that membership is not an option for me at present, so I guess my contribution must be to keep those good thoughts thinkin' and best hopes hopin'. All my best wishes to catspaw for long life and happiness. SharonA |
