Healing circle help is in demand this weekend, one of our own, Micca, was admitted to hospital today, with severe stomach cramps. They have done some tests, and it sounds very much like gall stones, they're doing an ultrasound tomorrow to see. He is the sort of person who can lie around all day watching T.V., but as soon as he is made to stay in bed, starts climbing the walls and going cabin crazy, so you can imagine how he is feeling attached to a drip, with no T.V., nearby.....

If you could mention him in your prayers and rituals, as I will be....

Thanks.

Thanks, LTS. I had received a message from A., but didn't know if it would be okay with them to post here. I am glad you've done so.

He has been in my thoughts all day and I will continue to envision him in the best of health, comfy at home. A special candle will be lit in my sanctum for him, also.

Please keep us posted.

Blessed Be & Peace Profound,

Didn't know (or care) if either A or Micca wanted it done, I just done it regardless, because he is one of my oldest (and oldest) friends, and I know he would do the same for me....

I know the power of the Cat and the incredible pain in the ass it is to be stuck and tested. He has become a good friend here and I want you to keep us posted as often as you can. Can you see him or call. I gotta tell you, I really was boosted by the thread postings that Karen brought. We're looking forward to news.

I see from the other thread that Micca has gall stones and since so many others have sent him their best, even that stupid Cletus, I hope that Micca will know that the little clay possum is thinking of him too. Catspaw won't let Cletus around me anymore and I'm very glad. He was not a good influence, Catspaw says. He even had me peeking into Jeri's windows in hopes of seeing dragonflies hovering over her hooters. The nice policeman who arrested us understood that I was just an innocent possum, so the judge let me off and sentenced Cletus to 30 days at the Neil Young Center for the Terminally Screwed after finding him guilty of "Malfeasance with a Marsupial" and "Indecent Stupidity." Now all I ever hear Cletus talk about is Liz the Squeak's chest hair which doesn't seem too nice to me.

I really hope you get through the holidays without too much discomfort and I will be thinking my best thoughts should you have the surgery later.

All my best,

Cleigh O'Possum

There is that within me which wants to do a lot of wordplay about how galling it is to discover... and that it takes a lot of gall to... and all that sort of "clever" crap. But deep in my heart what I truly want to say is that I have a clear idea of how much pain such a problem can cause and that I sincerely hope Micca has seen the last of it. Best wishes!

It is 5 am here, I have just been woken (thankfully) from a terrible dream, the irony of which would not escape the fat git (as he is affectionately known by some). He is in a ward called Harrison Ward, and I have just been dreaming of a huge gallstone thundering down the corridor towards him, as he runs (!) down it, crazed native nurses hurl syringes through blow pipes at him and there is a surgeon lurking around the corner with a mad possesive gleam in his eye, waiting to get hold of his kidneys! Guess baked beans for supper is a bad idea.....

I don't have an update, but I suggested his wife take a hard copy of this thread and give it to him, hope she managed it, I see his name appears with no message, so I should presume that she did. So he knows you are all thinking of him, and I'd like to say thank you, especially Cleigh, I know how hard it is for possums....

He is allowed sips of water today, although still in pain.

He has had no alcohol for at least four days now, which is putting a severe strain on his humour gland, and he is not known for his tolerance.....

More news later.

Flesh is about to disinherit - in the next few weeks he will have his gall bladder removed, he is a lot better, and if it weren't for the drips and only wearing a hospital gown would have ROTFLhisAO at the copy of the thread that he was given. His bum has been used for target practice and he is running out of fingers for blood samples.....

He says thank you to everyone, hopefully his SO will have a broader posting later...

Besides, if BS means what I think it means, it isn't BS to wish a fellow human being well, especially one who has been as close to the wire as Micca, imagine, 6 whole days with no food, no clothes and no television......

Glad to see your home at last. As you can see, nothing much as changed here! We missed you and thank Aud for posting us her 'reports from bedside'. Can't wait to hear the blow-by-blow from you . . . however, you can leave out the really icky stuff . . . Take care and feel better soon, Áine
