Jacqui managed to down some orange ice today and to not insult the chaplain who came to check in on her immortal soul. Once the anesthesiologist gives the OK to stop the Lidocaine drip, she will be moved out of the ICU and into a regular room where she will have her own phone and a laptop.

She is worried about the Captain. And asked several times about this thread. She is still looking forward to her first trip out of bed (OUCH!). Also concerned that her hair is a fright - it isn't. All good signs.

Seamus is safely asleep on your dog bed. No bones for him!

What the hell is "Orange Ice?" Seamus didn't have anything to do with it did he?

Glad all is proceeding apace. I have no idea what that phrase actually means but it seemed to fit here............... sorta'....................in a way......................................kinda' ................

You mentioned "the chaplain who came to check in on her immortal soul" Sins. Now would that be Holyistik Medicine ?

Katlaughing has asked me to pass on her warmest Wishes for a steady recovery to Kendall and she hopes Jacqui gets better by the minute and sends her Love and healing thoughts..*smile*

Loads of Love fae me too,

Kendall - all the cookies? I know for a fact that Jacqui left you a refrigerator full of nutricious food and a gift card to Hannaford's.

Orange water ice is sugared water with orange flavoring frozen. I would have preferred the raspberry but Jacqui was grateful for whatever came her way.

She has all male nurses looking to her every need - go figure. I had Nurse Ratched who threatened to make me spend the night in my soiled gown when I vomited in my sleep.

What the hell is this all about?????? I am away and obviously missed something!! Jacqui, I am not sure what the operation was for, but take the damn meds, woman. I know it takes a certain amount of pigheadedness to live with that ornery, wrinkled ass, old salt, but this should not extend (shut up, Spaw!!) to your meds. They help you heal, as has been pointed out here. Don't make me come over there.

Kendall ..... someone had to take care of the dog???? Who you trying to shit here????

Love ya, woman.

Kendall! CELLAR!

Did I mention that Jacqui was watching Return To Witch Mountain with the sound off yeaterday? Says it all.

She is now in a regular room and off the Lidocaine. Her Ladyship is complaining about a noisy neighbor who interrupted her sleep last night - a sure sign of recovery.

So I checked, and I was wrong: List of Approved Foods. Sorry about that.

Date: 16 Sep 07 - 11:19 PM

Has anyone mentioned to US Customs that their list makes no sense?

In any case, I see that Kendall can renew his supply of Bat Nuts. They must be really tiny......probably not much larger than Kendall's.

I wonder how many people read that list of approved foods and spotted the joke?

Spaw's question about the orange ice reflects, no doubt, his (fully justified) fears that everyone has been preserving their contributions for his golden shower. Myself, I'm saving it in an ice tray with toothpicks sticking out so he can have piss-stickles along with the yellow tea bath.

She called to tell me that she is being discharged around 2 pm today.
She has a drain in the incision that has to be dealt with, and guess who gets to do that?
No problem, I've drained many a crank case and transmission in my day.

"crank case"??????????? Methinks the double, maybe triple, entendre whether intentional or unintentional, will cause you to find the cellar as your primary residence for a bit, old buddy..... ***snerk***
