I don't think Spaw has ever insulted me. In fact, he has gotten annoyed when others have. But we have shared reams of exchanges about our lives, our children, our families. Karen is a saint. The boys are boys until life makes them sit up and be men. They are an amazing pair, our Michael and Tris.
I won't get too mushy - but I do love you Spaw and am proud to call you a friend.

Along with a bunch of other folks, Pat, I breathed a small sigh of relief to learn this morning that you are a bit more stabilized. How about giving us "Catters a wonderful Christmas present (and it can come early!) with news that you are out of the woods!

Karen, thinking of you and the boys.

Me, too, Sins. Can't remember anything but a Knight in Shining Armour, a silly catbox litter flinger (the evil twin), and Peaches driving a hot rod. As well as the long conversations and advice on buying my first dulcimer, the joy when Tris got his first training wheels all the way from Gervase, then in England and could ride for the first time, the love and enthusiasm about his Weimies!

Dan... kick him in the ass? No, no, no... Spaw has always been most specific about such... in the nuts.

You can have the duck.

In any case, this is my last check-in tonight. Be my first check-in when I wake on the morrow.

C'mon Spaw. I might need advice again about my truck. It's a Ford and, well, you know.

MEMO TO GOD!

Look here mate, you need to get your act together and fix this cantankerous, funny, irreverent friend of ours.

Trust me, you don't want him up there. He'll turn the place upside down and inside out.

Now fix him please. You really don't need the competition.

Get well soon Spaw. We're all pulling for you.

Oh Great Wizard, Great CHEECH, You of the Great Hat and tiny tallywhacker, look with favor upon Your poor, pathetic, poot of a servant, Catspaw49 and grant him the strength to get outa the hospital so that he may continue to be Thy servant instead of continuing to be the hospital-bound doofus he has been. And may You continue to kick those who deserve it in the nuts, for Thine, etc. etc. etc.

Amen and all that jazz.

Get well soon Pat.
I sent you a pm after my discharge, assuming you'd be home by now.
Since then I've been re-admitted (Friday) and discharged again (today) following a minor complication, so I'm disapointed to discover that your Appendictomy(?) hasn't been straightforward and that you're obviously very unwell.
You're a great support to others and I'm sure you already know how well loved you are around here, so get back to us soon and regale us with some fresh medical stories!!

Well, he is "seriously cranky" according to Karen, so she says to tell you all that he's coming back! "Spewing" is the word she used for when he refers to a bunch of the stuff he's just been through. I told her, I think he's entitled to spew a bit.

He is off the vent. Still has the fever and pneumonia, but able to keep his pulse ox from 91-96% ...that's GOOD!

This time the personnel are being really nice, letting Karen is to visit on her 3am lunch break and all (last time they were really buggers about visiting hours.) She was just getting to sleep when I called; had been up and at it for about 25 hours with work and taking Michael shopping. Tris will be going over to stay with Connie and Wayne and they will all be there there for Christmas, sans Pat, of course. So, they are not going to have oyster stew because that is Spaw's speciality. Karen has Christmas off, so that's good, too.

She says to send you all her love and thanks. He knows we're all working on him.:-)

Now, breathe, please!?! All o'youse!

Thank you so much for these reports! I just came in on the middle of this, but it sounds like it's been pretty serious. I've, certainly, been on the edge of my chair w/ Pat before. Enough, already!!! I'm glad that things are starting to sound more promising!

From: Bobert
Date: 21 Dec 10 - 08:50 PM

Danged, Spawzer... Now look what you done... You have Sins threatenin' to come and drag yer sorry ass outta that warm hospital bed and let Karen have it... Man, if that happens then you have just set back the development of "man" (not womanz) back, ahhhhh, let's see??? Maybe a couple of weeks... You want that??? Hell no, you don't!!! I say that the best defense is a strong offense... Know what I mean??? I'm talkiin' Reg Boyz here... I'm talkin' flagellation... Are we gonna let a bunch of womenz push us around, 'er what...

I tell ya' what, Spawzer... Seein' as yer flagellator ain't up to the task I'm gonna have my Couzin Rufus make a few calls... Yeah, we know how to fight fire with fire... No, no... Please don't light that match... That was just one of the metaphoric things... Put the match down... Man, you could blow this joint up with this su7pply of "man's not-so-secret-weapon"....

So, that's the plan, Spawzer... You detract the nurses and me, Couzin Rufus and maybe he can get then Reg Boyz (they related, ya know) to take care of Sins... She won't know what hit her... Okay, she prolly will but no matter...

But just in case, I recommend that you take them bed sheets and tie yer ass to that bed...

(Have you thought this through, Boberdz???)

Why you ask???

(Well, it sounds pretty juvenile...)

You got a point???

Not to worry, Spawzer... Ol' hillbilly got this one figurated out purdy danged good... Sins won't get within a hunnert feet of you... I mean, she'll hit that wall of, ahhhhhh, cologne and she'll be like coughin' 'n sputterin' and she'll have to come back here an' tell the rest of the womenz that we men definitely have the upper hand when it comes to this shit...

Sho nuff will...

But the best part about this is that after yer well an' ya' ain't got no half crazed womenz threatenin' to throw yer sorry ass out on the street from the ICU ward that we can get Couzin Rufe and the Reg Boyz together fir a little Christmas carolin' (wink, wink) next year... Know what I mean??? Maybe we can can Santa Claus all beaned up and fightin' for the good side???

Meanwhile, lock yer door and teach the nurses a code-knock to get in...
