Subject: BS: Kendall's operation From: jacqui.c Date: 31 Oct 04 - 10:04 PM Kendall goes into hospital in Boston on Tuesday morning for the laser operation to remove the cancer from his vocal chord. If all goes well it will be an overnight stay and we'll be back home on Wednesday. If they can't access the area by going down his throat it will mean a temporary tracheotomy and four to five day stay in hospital. We would appreciate good thoughts from our friends on the Mudcat that this finally does the job and maybe gives him back a singing voice. We'll keep you posted on progress. |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's operation From: Stilly River Sage Date: 31 Oct 04 - 10:22 PM The best of luck to both of you--but don't let him slip into that hospital gown until AFTER he votes! (Kendall has given himself the best inoculation of good luck and endorphins beyond what we can send, what with falling in love and marrying.) SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's operation From: Ebbie Date: 31 Oct 04 - 10:22 PM What Jeri said. I can't imagine a cloud dimming the radiant faces of either Kendall or Jacqui. Come through swimmingly, OK? W3e'll be thinking about you both. |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's operation From: Janie Date: 31 Oct 04 - 10:23 PM Jacqui thanks for posting this. As I was catching up on the Getaway thread (great photo of the two of you at your wedding) I found myself wondering about this. Both of you are in my thoughts and prayers. Janie |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's operation From: Joe Offer Date: 01 Nov 04 - 01:16 AM Gee, Kendall, I want this operation to work right and all, but I don't know if I can spend all Tuesday thinking smarmy good thoughts about you. Do you think it would help if we would all tell one bad joke in your honor on Tuesday? Good luck with your surgery, Kendall. Take good care of him, Jacqui. We love him too, you know. -Joe Offer- |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's operation From: Seamus Kennedy Date: 01 Nov 04 - 01:48 AM Kendall, I'll be in Ireland, but I'll be sure to tip a few to your complete recovery. And if you promise to get well quickly, I might just bring a bottle back for you. Seamus |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's operation From: Ellenpoly Date: 01 Nov 04 - 04:05 AM Amos said it for me as well. I needed to focus on something positive for Tuesday, and I can't think of anything better than the idea of the removal of two unwanted cancers amongst us. I've already voted, so you'll get the lion's share of my healing energy on the day. DO PLEASE let us know how it goes. ..xx..e |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's operation From: John MacKenzie Date: 01 Nov 04 - 04:08 AM Me too! I subscribe to all the good thoughts and wishes. Hope they don't have to go the tracheostomy route, had one myself last year, and although they're not painfull, they seem to take a while to heal up. Plus it means you've got to block the tube to speak, so all Jacqui needs to do to silence you, is tie your hands down, and although bondage can be fun, they frown on it in hospitals. Giok |

Do exactly what the Dr. sez, heal well, rehab well. That damn Trickett isn't the only guy that gets to sing with you, y'know. I noticed that you and I sang nary the first song at Getaway, and I want to rectify that. Prayers headed your way. All the best, Mick |

|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's operation From: SINSULL Date: 01 Nov 04 - 09:59 AM I will join in the chorus - I am glad to have some positive thinking on the books for Tuesday to distract me from the polls. Now Jacqui - DO NOT allow him to turn on a TV until you are sure Kerry has won the election. Kendall will not be able to restrain a few grumbles or worse and he CAN NOT speak. Good luck, girl! |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's operation From: Tannywheeler Date: 01 Nov 04 - 11:20 AM sselB doG, K & J. Let's have Curtains for the C word. And voices are individual things. Apparently Kendall's has been inspiring many to live and do right. That's a beautiful voice whatever it sounds like. Greg S, is "pig-sick" anything like "sick as a dog"? If so, you get to a doc, too. All 'Catters need to be well. Tw |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's operation From: JennyO Date: 01 Nov 04 - 09:41 PM Yes Kendall - you are one of the people I have heard so much about that it almost feels like I have met you, but I haven't. I really wished I could have met some mudcatters in the UK like my friend freda underhill did a few months ago, and I am saving like mad to try and make it somewhere next year. Meanwhile, I really hope it goes well for you, and that you have the easiest time with it. Everything else is going well, so you are on a roll, I think. It's all good. Jenny |

Heck with the doctors tuning everything only in "D" while they are in there, as Bill said; ask for a sonorous 3 octave range. Your sense of humor at a time like this is indicative of a fine man.

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's operation From: Pauline L Date: 02 Nov 04 - 02:50 PM My best wishes to both of you. Jacqui, you're quite a lady, helping your new husband get through this crisis. Kendall, I hope you appreciate her. I used to be married to a man who couldn't tolerate imperfections in me because he was perfect. However, he must have been one of a kind. Not everyone lives up to the standard of "for better or worse, in sickness and in health..." Bravo for the two of you as a couple! I'm waiting for more news from Jacqui and hoping for the best. Blessings to both of you. Pauline |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's operation From: jacqui.c Date: 02 Nov 04 - 10:46 PM OK - we've just got back from a meal and a couple of drinks after spending most of the day waiting to hear what happened in surgery. Everything went OK - Kendall's surgeon is really happy with the results and tells us thay he has removed the tumour completely. Kendall took some time to come round (catching up with the sleep he missed last night, I reckon) and was looking very well when we finally got to see him at about 4.00 pm, having been at the hospital since 5.30 that morning. Luckily, SINSULL kept me company all day, which made the wait much easier. He was still a little knocked out when we first got there but, by the time we left at 8.00 pm he was back to his usual irascible self again and that was a great relief. He's sassing the nurses as well so they will be glad to let him loose tomorrow. We'll keep you posted once we get home. |

I was more worried (concerned, CONCERNED!) about the Captain's surgery and results than the election and its results (so that's saying something). Glad Sinsull was there with you, Jacqui. (Somehow I knew she would be.) Having recently gone through 7 hours in the ICU waiting room waiting for postings on the progress of surgery on the most important person in my life, I appreciate how important it is to not be there alone. Cosmic hugs for everybody concerned -- and "real" ones in person soon. All the best for a complete and easy recovery. Linn |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's operation From: karen k Date: 03 Nov 04 - 09:58 AM I'm so glad for the news. Wish I could have been there with you. But I was there in spirit. Thanks SINS. Glad Jacqui didn't have to wait alone. Gotta start figuring out when I can make a trip up north. Be well, Kendall. Listen to Jacqui and whomever else tells you what to do. We'll miss you at NOMAD. Much love to you both, karen |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's operation From: Tannywheeler Date: 03 Nov 04 - 10:19 AM AAAWWwwwRAAHHTTT!!! (Texian term; in English, usually spelled "alright") Now some quietness for early recovery; then gradually, and carefully, retry the voice, use it sparingly, then more and more. Rebuild carefully. I was raised by storytellers/folklorists. If I can make Getaway next year for your anniversary I want the benefit of Kendall being in full voice. I'm selfish. I believe I'm better off with healthy storytellers functioning "awlll over my" world. Tw |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's operation From: SINSULL Date: 03 Nov 04 - 02:03 PM Home again home again jiggity jig. None of us is jigging but I did just deposit two very worn out Mudcatters and their belongings in South Portland. Bet the neighbors think the Captain has been drinking again - hasn't quite got his sea legs. What a relief to see him looking alive and healthy even if he is a bit worse for the wear. Jacqui looks as if a good night's sleep is in order. All the brothers were valiant. |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's operation From: jacqui.c Date: 03 Nov 04 - 02:48 PM Well folks, the deed is done. Doctor Shapshay says it went off without a hitch, no tracheotomy, and he sent the samples to the lab to be sure he got all of it. He says I will have a speaking voice but as for singing, no guarantees there. At the same time, he said, and my regular ENT said that vocal cords have been known to regenerated, so, who knows? All your prayers and positive thoughts must have carried great weight with the Great Spirit. In the next bed in recovery was a middle age woman who had had radical surgery and was breathing through a hole in her neck; disgusting sound when she coughed, poor soul. Anyway I have to go back for a follow up on November 17th, and the Doctor says there is no reason to not go to England in December. Thasnks so much for all you have done to keep my spirits up. Speaking of spirits, I have a jug of Duggan's Dew o' Kirkintilloch Scotch to help celebrate. |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's operation From: jacqui.c Date: 03 Nov 04 - 05:06 PM This one really is me - not him pretending to be me! We're back home, exhausted but happy to be here. The Cap'n has a ton of writing pads and gets a real telling off if he tries to speak - you wouldn't believe how peaceful it is here (says she getting ready to duck flying notepads). We'll be starting a separate thread in the next couple of days for the UK trip. Just got to get the travel arrangements organised now, but maybe not today. Love to you all for the good wishes, I'm sure that recovery will be much faster knowing that so many people care for him. |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's operation From: George Papavgeris Date: 03 Nov 04 - 06:02 PM Really Great News! On the regeneration of vocal chords - I remember seeing some research 2 years ago about certain antibiotics and foods reversing colon cancer. Now, I don't mean to suggest that the two ends of the Cap'n's alimentary canal are the same, but there could be tissue similarities. It could be worth pursuing. Very happy for you both George |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's operation From: Deckman Date: 03 Nov 04 - 06:09 PM You know Kendall, I've been meaning to speak to you about something. I've heard that some people will do ANYTHING just to get attention, but did you REALLY have to go this far? CHEERS, BOb |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's operation From: Mudlark Date: 03 Nov 04 - 06:34 PM So very glad to hear the good news. What an upper on a downer day! Now you can really look forward to your trip (I was going to say w/o reservations...but that doesn't sound right!). |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's operation From: Liz the Squeak Date: 03 Nov 04 - 06:48 PM Oh Kendall, just so relieved that you are talking through the correct orifice, rather than anything south of your chin.... And if Julie Andrews can sing again after being told she never would, then you can too.... Take care, get plenty of rest and I promise I will drive the length and breadth of the country to see you in December, providing it's not the 4th.....! LTS XX |

Now just take it easy for a while and recuperate. Jacqui, thanks for taking such good care of Kendall. I'm sure that has helped him immensely. Sinsull, thanks for taking good care of Kendall and Jacqui. Lots of hugs. Pauline |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's operation From: Nancy King Date: 03 Nov 04 - 10:15 PM No question this is the best news of THIS day! I'm so glad all went well and they didn't have to go the drastic route. Now, sit back and let it mend! You are so lucky to have Jacqui with you -- so listen to her and don't try to do too much! We'll all be delighted to hear you talk when you can, and if you can sing, well, so much the better! But the important thing is that you're still with us, and we're counting on you stick around a good while. Much love to both of you -- Nancy |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's operation From: Ellenpoly Date: 04 Nov 04 - 02:10 AM "I have a jug of Duggan's Dew o' Kirkintilloch Scotch to help celebrate." Yup, Kendall, gotta say that'll taste a whole lot better being swallowed in the the traditional way, rather than through a trachea tube!! I've now got something to look forward to in December. Please do start that thread as soon as you've both gotten the R&R you need. Sinsull, Kendall and Jacqui, and all the other folks on this thread have been the most up-lifting part of my week. Now to us all, onwards and upwards! ..xx..e |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's operation From: JennyO Date: 04 Nov 04 - 09:57 AM Wow, excellent news Kendall. Maybe I will get to hear you sing some time after all! I'm so pleased for you both. The body's healing abilities are amazing, I find. A few months ago, I had the third of three operations on my wrist after breaking it badly nearly three years ago. It was very slow healing, but the metal plates in there were damaging the tendons and needed to come out. The doc said that if I wanted to have full use of my thumb, which wouldn't bend properly, I would probably need to have another operation some time to fix some of the damage to the tendons as they don't grow back - but there has been so much improvement beyond what was expected, that I've decided not to bother now.

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's operation From: kendall Date: 17 Nov 04 - 07:58 PM Well folks, I had my 200 mile checkup today, and...no that's another story. I had my first two week follow up with the laser surgeon today, and he says everything is good. No sign of infection and healing is coming alone right on schedule. Looks good. I have a little bit of voice, but it is a long ways from here to singing again. Thanks for the prayers...don't stop now! |
