Subject: BS: Has the beast returned? From: kendall Date: 26 Jun 05 - 09:20 PM Last Wednesday my E.N.T., during a routine exam, found another suspicios spot on my vocal cord. It is not in the same place where the other one appeared, and he thinks it looks like a callus. To me it is a red flag because that's what the cancer looked like in the beginning. We just got back from Old Songs, and although we had a good time, it was hard for me to be unable to sing. A few good thoughts would be appreciated. |

Subject: RE: BS: Has the beast returned? From: Rapparee Date: 26 Jun 05 - 09:27 PM Kendall, I thought that this was going to be some half-assed thread about the Book of Revelations some GUEST had started. Instead it's a whole-assed thread...no, wait, that's not what I meant...it's a perfectly good thread. Okay. You're gunshy. I can understand that. Oh, boy, can I understand that! So...if it's a callous, what happens? Do they remove it or what? Somehow I can't see them shoving one of these pumice stone things down your throat, though. I'm betting that the Doctor is right. If he ain't, heck, you've got the Mudcat Cafe pullin' for you. At least I am, and I'll betcha there's at least one or maybe two others, too. (I've heard that there's a thing called "The Lobster Cure" for stuff like this. You eat lobster with drawn butter until it goes away.) |

Subject: RE: BS: Has the beast returned? From: SINSULL Date: 26 Jun 05 - 09:43 PM Captain, try to relax. Stress and worry will inevitably affect your vocal chords. Meditation, relaxation therapy, and in a pinch, a shot of something potent. I am lighting candles and praying in my own way. Love you, SINS |

Subject: RE: BS: Has the beast returned? From: Ebbie Date: 26 Jun 05 - 10:06 PM A cornucopia of good thoughts tumbling your way. As Rap said, it's not surprising that you're gunshy. Whatever it is and until it's GONE, you can count on us to circle the wagons around you. You are a Survivor, and we're going to see to it that you stay that way. OK? Did you and Jacqui get to see KT at Old Songs? We miss her. Ebbie |

Subject: RE: BS: Has the beast returned? From: jacqui.c Date: 26 Jun 05 - 10:27 PM The doctor suggested that, as part of Kendall's vocal cord is missing, that the rest may have been rubbing against the cartiledge in between, thus causing the callus. Kendall has been using his voice more recently and has attempted a few songs as well and we're hoping that it is just overuse that has caused the problem. If that is so then resting his voice should deal with the problem. However, trying to get him to keep quiet is almost an impossibility, particularly with the fact that we have two more weekends at festivals or picking parties and the temptation to tell stories or sing is almost unbearable. I'm thinking in terms of duct tape at the moment! We did see KT at Old Songs and had a great time with her and her husband. Kendall was also given a bottle of 12 year old Jamesons by the Woodchucks so has the makings of a shot of something potent if he needs it. This week we will hopefully be busy selling our motorhome and buying a bigger one and that should hold the attention for most of the week. It's soo good to have the support of our Mudact friends though. Thanks to all of you. |

Subject: RE: BS: Has the beast returned? From: Ebbie Date: 26 Jun 05 - 10:46 PM You've got it, Jacqui. I love alternative possibilities! Makes VERY good sense that the Captain's parts have been straying into different territory. |

Subject: RE: BS: Has the beast returned? From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 27 Jun 05 - 03:07 AM Empathetic thoughts Kendall, but try to keep as cheerful as you can - it lessens the self imposed stress caused by too much pointless worry without establishing hard facts. ... just a thought - keep the shots of something potent, and the lit candles well seperate... BTW, I thought at first this thread was about the 'Toon' coming back... |

Subject: RE: BS: Has the beast returned? From: gnu Date: 27 Jun 05 - 06:51 AM A few good thoughts? Not likely you'll only get a few. Hell, I'm sending a lot more than a few just by myself. You know me... I've got a hundred questions. But, I'll just wait patiently and monitor this thread for your updates. In the meantime, shut up! g |

Subject: RE: BS: Has the beast returned? From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 27 Jun 05 - 06:56 AM Listen, Captain, this is not allowed! I'm going with Jacqui's explanation, so I insist that you follow her orders and rest that voice!! I want to see you again (hopefully not waiting another full year...) and hear you sing- so be good and take care of yourself! Allison |

Subject: RE: BS: Has the beast returned? From: InOBU Date: 27 Jun 05 - 07:36 AM Kendall! My friend Ryan has a tatoo of Mr. T on his calf, because Mr. T scared the cancer out of his Grandfather. He had the same cancer as Mr. T and one day T called him and "yelled at the cancer" to get out of that fellow and leave him alone... and it did. So, I am holding you in the light, and praying that this is nothing at all, but if it is, I suggest a big mudcat get together to yell at that beast to get lost and stop hounding our dear friend. lots of love lor |

Subject: RE: BS: Has the beast returned? From: alanabit Date: 27 Jun 05 - 07:41 AM Same sentiments from sunny Cologne too. It's time that bugger left you alone. Hope it is just a false alarm. Tell us the good news soon when it is all cleared up. |

Subject: RE: BS: Has the beast returned? From: Morticia Date: 27 Jun 05 - 07:44 AM oh, enough is so very much enough of this crap for both of you......how much more are you expected to put up with, for chrissakes? This will be a callous, I'm sure of it but it's timing sucks big time. Kendall, maybe you'd better throw away those 'healing' stones I sent you......I reckon they're duds......or perhaps they are what you told the nurse they were........just f**king stones. |

Subject: RE: BS: Has the beast returned? From: Roger in Baltimore Date: 27 Jun 05 - 07:54 AM Captain, I hope it's just over work. Tell Jacqui that locking you in the cellar all of the time with you screaming to be let out hasn't helped. I look forward to seeing you at the Getaway. Roger in Baltimore |

Subject: RE: BS: Has the beast returned? From: katlaughing Date: 27 Jun 05 - 12:38 PM Jacqui, duct tape sounds like just the thing!! Kendall, you have told us all, yourself, about the power of belief and good thoughts, etc. I know, from very recent experience, it can be difficult for oneself, but you've done One other thing...if you can find any sunlight up "thar" go out, tip yer head back so that it is shining full on your face, open wide and swallow some sunshine, several times. I kid you not, this is a very healing tradition. Ya might also see if Spaw can scare up some possum-fat to rub on yer thoat...Cletus oughta have some.:-) Lots of love and thanks-givings for you both, luvyakat |

Subject: RE: BS: Has the beast returned? From: Wolfgang Date: 28 Jun 05 - 07:00 AM I thought it was a thread about Martin Gibson coming back under another name. If that was the choice I'd rather see MG coming back than your cancer returning, Kendall. Good luck. Wolfgang |

Subject: RE: BS: Has the beast returned? From: Charley Noble Date: 29 Jun 05 - 08:44 AM Kendall- I've been ignoring this suspicious thread as well until JudyB pointed out that you had created it. We recommend gargling with rusty nails. Do not spit out the gargle. Far better to swallow it. It's a half and half mixture of Scotch and Drambuie. Very smooth dispite its name. Cheerily, Charley Noble |
