Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: Becca72 Date: 16 Feb 08 - 07:48 AM LOL...pass the banjo, er, bedpan |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 16 Feb 08 - 11:47 AM The difference between the two? No-one is proud of playing the bedpan. LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: John MacKenzie Date: 16 Feb 08 - 11:49 AM That was either a bum note, or a diminished turd. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: SINSULL Date: 16 Feb 08 - 02:38 PM LOL Damn it! Everytime I stop coughing someone makes me laugh. Jacqui - does Nurse Ratched have a supply of Amian? I would really enjoy a good night's sleep complete with psychedelic dreams. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: gnu Date: 16 Feb 08 - 04:33 PM Well, I could play a bedpan with my tipper, so choose yer weapon, eh? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: Becca72 Date: 17 Feb 08 - 09:58 AM What's a tipper? Is that the same as a peeper? :-) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: John MacKenzie Date: 17 Feb 08 - 10:08 AM Some guy's peepers don't have covers, that's because they've been visited by the tipper, Becca. G |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: Severn Date: 17 Feb 08 - 11:17 AM Please and feel free to offer tips to the nurse (before she sedates you for no apparent reason) but don't, under any circumstances gnu, tip the bedpan. It'll be like those confused nights in pubs when you use the waitress and tip over the spitoon. Or it might be like "raries". If you've come a long way to tip one, there's probably no stopping you. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 17 Feb 08 - 11:45 AM Whoa. . . listening to the rebroadcast this morning of A Prairie Home Companion. Make room for the young blind pianist who was on the program. He'll need to let his nerves settle after a Chopin fantasy and etude. He kept going, but lots of mistakes. The kind of thing he might want to beat himself up over. Make the room dark, and a nice pallet for the dog, please. He'll get beyond it after a little reflection. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: Severn Date: 17 Feb 08 - 12:30 PM "Etude, Brut-al?". Develop "a 'tude", and it's almost like having stage prescence, so you might get over live anyway. And try to aim better next time, Giok! Like one of those Belchin' Phlegmish Masters. Make that sucker rings when you hit it! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: SINSULL Date: 17 Feb 08 - 04:27 PM Becca, a tipper is a wooden spoon used to beat the bohdran. Peepers are frogs. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: John MacKenzie Date: 17 Feb 08 - 04:52 PM But can't you use peepers to beat things a well Mary? G |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 17 Feb 08 - 06:04 PM I thought peepers were eyes - things you peep through.... Boy does that explain a lot of things in my life! LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: Bat Goddess Date: 18 Feb 08 - 11:06 AM Hey! Just got back from my first physical therapy session AND (and this is the really important bit today) survived driving down our driveway to the house. Believe me, I did NOT want to have to walk down the driveway. (But Tom just left to drive the car back up to the road and walk down himself.) It's ice -- with today's rain (and heavy fog) on top of it. And since the temperature is over 50 degrees F., what's under it is most likely turning to MUD. Arghhh! But the therapy session was really good -- especially the pool part. Besides being 92 degrees F., I think it has higher buoyancy than normal, but I could be mistaken. I was having trouble keeping my tush and legs down so my shoulders would be under water for the exercises. My feet kept wanting to rise off the bottom. (This part of the pool is about 4 feet deep.) Then, of course, was the land part -- stretching muscles that I was having trouble relaxing. He's pretty gentle, but I've got a cold pack on my shoulder right now and I think I'll bring one along with me on Thursday to use on the 45 minute drive home (chaufferred by Tom). Linn |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: gnu Date: 18 Feb 08 - 04:06 PM Good to hear things are progressing well, Linn. Speaking of good news... YEEHAW!!! I have just returned from the Slicer-Dicer and, he is pleased with my progress, even as slight as it is, as it gives hope that the nerves will continue to awaken and/or regenerate. AND, the pathology reports are ALL negative!! The duct, the gland, the lymph nodes, the vocal cords... no tumours, no cancer. The lump of scar tissue around the duct from the first operation has gone down and may disappear completely or it may (probably) not. But, hey, when yer as good lookin as me, it don't make no never mind. However, on a sad note, I must inform you all that there will be Bodhran playing going on all night. To all who posted in threads here at The Café and PM'd and phoned me, thanks. The last five months have been a bit rough (although not anywhere near as rough as for some other 'Cats) but your support and advice has meant a great deal to me.... sincerely, thank you all. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: John MacKenzie Date: 18 Feb 08 - 04:26 PM You didn't take my advice gnu, 'cos you're still here ;) Thankfully G |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 18 Feb 08 - 10:37 PM good news from Bat Goddess & gnu yah! |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: SINSULL Date: 19 Feb 08 - 11:41 AM GIOK! CELLAR! Good news, gnu. And you too Linn. Keep up the good work. SINS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: Severn Date: 19 Feb 08 - 12:07 PM Good news here, too. CT and PET scans show that the recovery is going on as well as at all possible. Should knock this stuff out or enable the immune system when it bounces back to keep what little remains in remission. Something to think about while I'll have to feel like an absolute dirtbag for about a week..... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: jacqui.c Date: 19 Feb 08 - 12:08 PM Good news for you all. Keep up the good work! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: John MacKenzie Date: 19 Feb 08 - 12:12 PM Wonderful Severn, really pleased to hear it. I better start polishing up a few puns in preparation for a joust then. I will lose it of course, but as they say, "It's not the winning, it's the taking part". Yeah right!! G |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: gnu Date: 19 Feb 08 - 02:04 PM GREAT news, Sev!!!! Just one more to go after this one. Hang in there buddy. We're all pullin for ya. Go ahead.... be my guest. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 20 Feb 08 - 02:09 AM yah, Severn ward is getting empty-ish again? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: SINSULL Date: 20 Feb 08 - 08:11 AM Severn, I truly admire you for handling these horrors with such grace and humor. I wish I could make it all go away. Mary |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: Severn Date: 20 Feb 08 - 08:27 AM Mary, You seem to have a support group out there that may be even bigger than mine, full of loyal people of humor and wisdom and good advice who will back you up all the way, even through the most depressing days of treatment. I'm proud to be in the ranks of these folks and will offer what I can. Good luck with it all. Keep in touch. Even through the drain of funds, the activities you'll miss, the moments of boredom and lethargy and depression, you'll come out of it all standing, grinning and stronger than ever. We know the stuff you're made of! Hang in there! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: John MacKenzie Date: 20 Feb 08 - 08:37 AM That makes two of you Severn. You are both much loved Mudcatters, with many friends and well wishers. You will both come through this with even more friends, due to your positive attitudes. Regards to both. Giok |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: jacqui.c Date: 20 Feb 08 - 09:21 AM Amen to that Giok. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: SINSULL Date: 20 Feb 08 - 10:05 AM What are you doing out of the cellar, Giok? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: jacqui.c Date: 20 Feb 08 - 10:38 AM He's obviously trying to regain your good favour Mary - he did say nice things about you and Sev there! |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: John MacKenzie Date: 20 Feb 08 - 11:21 AM Oh dear, has my subterranean subterfuge been subverted? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: Amos Date: 20 Feb 08 - 11:51 AM I haven't checked in to the ward because I yam toughing it out. But if I could get a stiff drink, that would help -- say a double shot of single malt on the half-shell? A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: MudGuard Date: 20 Feb 08 - 03:36 PM a stiff drink? Are you thinking of liquid viagra? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: MudGuard Date: 20 Feb 08 - 03:37 PM Btw, congrats for the encouraging test results! Keep on fighting, and you will win! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: bfdk Date: 20 Feb 08 - 04:03 PM Mary, I'll second what Severn said (and say the same to him, too). Just think of what nice goodies dear friends may place in your garden while you're away in hospital! Bente |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: gnu Date: 20 Feb 08 - 07:53 PM I called my GP's today for a followup on the WHACK of blood and urine tests I submitted Monday past. Lori answered, with a very husky voice... a cold?... the flu? Yes, I can get you in first after lunch (the best appt time other than FIRST in the morn) on March 3. Oh, and a prostate exam, too, please? No can do.... the review is just a quick deal... can't do a prostate exam in the visit as I am squeezing you in. ???? I know Lori, so I thought she was joking about Squeezing me in and I joked back. I said, "Well, I'll bring my own swipe and be ready to wipe my ass, so that should cut the prostate exam time down to less than a minute." Complete silence... from the new lass, Gloria... Lori took another job. And, now, Gloria and I are good friends. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 21 Feb 08 - 03:20 AM Oh Gnu... you do pick 'em! Just as well it wasn't Nurse Ratched, she'd've made you do it yourself! Oddly enough, I know a few managers who can do it visually, their heads are so far up there..... LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: SINSULL Date: 21 Feb 08 - 11:41 AM gnu - down the basement with Giok. Honestly! And move another bed in here next to mine. Ebbie will be joining us soon. I'll keep her bedpan warm... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: Amos Date: 21 Feb 08 - 11:43 AM Oh, he does them himself every week, at least, but he doesn't have the certificate, so he can't provide official results. Pity, really. It would save all kinds of money and he could have prostate exams every morning. AQ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008 From: gnu Date: 21 Feb 08 - 03:24 PM SINS... with Giok? Kendall's cellar is much closer. Either would be fine, of course, and both of them together even better, especially if Amos joined us with his assinine humour. |
