27 Jun 01 - 11:41 AM (#493016) Subject: CATSPAW - Oh Happy Day (probably)!! From: katlaughing Just received the following from Connie. Looks as though today will be the day for him to finally be released. We will know for sure later this afternoon. The other thread was getting long, anyway, so even though I am jumping the gun a little, I figured a new one wouldn't hurt. Here's what she had to say: Well the happy phone call finally came! P's INR is 2.4 which should get him a ticket home :) The "Boss" (Dr. Michler) is in town and will see him later today and give him discharge orders. Saw him last night for the first time since before surgery and he TRULY looks better than he has looked since about a year before the bypass surgery, I think that was in '95.

They never knew how good they COULD feel, because the loss of energy had come so slow they thought it was just age and changing activities. One guy we went to see in the hospital, post-op, was a color we had NEVER seen him be.... it's really something. Thinking of the reaction of that 70+-year-old parishioner (*G*) as reported by his wife in later weeks (*G*), maybe some of those Spawbucks will have to go to a little getaway for him and Karen.... *G*G* Kat, be sure he thinks of that before giving it all to Mudcat! *G* ~Susan |

No bells or whistles, no red lights waiting to go off, no strings to pull in case you get stuck -- just you, your favourite Dick Francis novel, an industrial size can of Lysol, and Charmin TP at your elbow . . . and now that you've had your hour of contemplation -- Get off that puckered arse of yours and let us know that you're still in the land of the 'Cat!!
