Allan,
I thought Kendall had another problem - don't do that to us! Kendall will be fine. Nothing else is acceptable. So there!

Praise be to the great spirit!! the operation went well, and the doctor called to tell me it was a small cyst, plus some plaque from smoking and singing. My voice is totally gone at the moment, and he says it could get worse from swelling, but, it will actually improve my voice in time. I thank all of you from the depths of my soul. Now for some rest. I havn't slept well for some time..

Well any improvement to your voice would be welcome. Was he able to do anything about the funny accent you have? And what about "Edgar Cayce?" Of course I suppose raising the dead is out of the question........

Well this is great news anyway......Now you can work on learning some of the songs Meebo sent you like "Blot your Crotch with Cowpattie Paste" by Toothless Doofus and the Dung Beetle Chewers. It ain't "Phoebe Snow" but with your new voice and all.............

"It will actually improve my voice in time" - so it turns out to have been cosmetic surgery for the voice after all!

Here's a story. There's this fella wakes after having had an operation to his hands. "Tell me doctor - will I be able to play the piano?"

"Don't worry, you'll be playing marvellously in another three weeks or so!"

"That's fantastic - you know, I'd never even thought of playing the piano till just now!"

It is about time, you old coot. I kept waiting to hear, and the old prayer list was getting a bit long. At Mass, I had to ask the lector to wait a minute while I finished my list....................LOL. To say that I am elated, is to put it mildly. Now get better so we can sing together when I finally get to meet you.

Additonally to what all these fine folks have said, I missed you in Radiochat tonite. I tried to hold up your end but everybody talked real nasty about your ass. Meebo says he's sending you more tapes as soon as he finishes diddling about with annabelle the sheep. I tried to start a pool on when you'd be able to sing, but no one would join since they all said you never could sing to begin with. Max played Woody's "Hard Travellin'" and when he kept forgetting the words, he said he was having a "kendall moment." Then Jeri really got mad when I suggested we have a party when you returned since she said we are BOTH suits of armor filled with green shit and didn't deserve a party. Several people said they WERE glad you are OK, but I gather you owe them money and they were worried about collecting.

I DID try to nominate Meebo as "Rat Bastard of the Week" on your behalf, but he lost out in the voting by a narrow margin. Please come back soon......I had no help at all.

Great stuff Kendall. Take all the unsolicited advice you've been given, especially the contradictory bits. (Ends up, you can pretty much do what you want.)

If I was recovering from surgery I wouldn't want Spaw within three states and a couple of provinces from me...

Kendall, maybe this'll help: I believe it was Mel Torme who once talked about a throat surgery he had. His doctor advised him to not sing for a YEAR! He said it was the hardest year he had ever endured; but he somehow managed to keep his mouth shut for the entire time. I guess you might say that it was worth it - things turned out fairly well for him and his "silver throat".

I hope your speaking voice and your singing return much quicker than that.
