27 Apr 04 - 01:05 PM (#1172433) Subject: BS: JenEllen runs away from home From: JenEllen Hey all. Instead of writing each person individually, I thought I'd save myself a few minutes and hog a little thread space to tag everyone at once. As many of you know, tomorrow is the BigDay for the imaging tests. Unfortunately, it's not at my doctor's office, and barring emergency needs, they anticipate it being a few days before the results will reach him. If I am waiting around at home, staring at the phone, I'll go mad. So, in the defense of scant sanity, I'm running away from home. No worries, y'all. I'm taking a few good friends, one really good dog, some perky yodelling leprechaun music, an armload of KateShugak novels, a Micca book, a Fezzy lil' lucky-duck, etc., and heading for the Okanogan as soon as time and health permit after testing. So, if no one picks up the phone or returns messages for a few days, DON'T WORRY. You are all in my thoughts, I can't tell you how grateful I've been for the love and support, and I'll let you know the (good) news as soon as I can. Muchos smoochos. ~JenEllen |

29 Apr 04 - 02:39 PM (#1174263) Subject: RE: BS: JenEllen runs away from home From: GUEST,Jen-Sitter John Under orders, I was to tell you that Jen is well and has been packed into a van full of rowdies and dogs and headed for the border. Yesterday was okay. We got everywhere we were supposed to be on time. The CT was a little unnerving, and seemed to take forever because she was shaking. She's not had good experiences with them before. They kept piling blankets on, but I think she was scared more than cold. She finally held still long enough for pictures, and I think she was relieved to not have to go from there to a hospital! The PET scan was interesting. No oral contrast media, it was an injected toxic glucose. Jen drove the guy crazy wanting to know the exact drug mechanisms to the last base pair. Then off to the doctors for a pre-chemo checkup and then to the clinic for treatments. A really long day. I tried to make her eat something last night, but she was asleep the second that fat white cat hit her lap. I'm heading up after work on Friday, and will print this collection out and take it along, if no one minds. I think she'd enjoy it. John |

29 Apr 04 - 10:37 PM (#1174581) Subject: RE: BS: JenEllen runs away from home From: catspaw49 I am forced to apologize for Brother Dave there as he has been tied up with his duties as a partner in Lane,Fielding,Patterson, and Swan, Layabouts-At-Large and For Hire. We are busier than ever before doing nothing as Bush has things so screwed up that there are more folks than ever wanting and needing to do nothing for awhile. We are happy to provide that service for them so they can continue with the daily grind of making a living. Like we say, "When doing sweet damn all is simply too damn much, call LFPS. For you, we do nothing. After all, it's the very least we can do!" Since Rick's death we here at LFPS have been swamped with business as we now have Rick taking on the long term cases and he's virtually unlimited in the number he can handle. This has put Mick, Dave, and myself in the position of having to take on all of those short term jobs that we could never get to before and I tell you, doing nothing has never been better and our clients could not be happier. I also should say here that although we all get excellent comments from our clients, Rick is getting the most favorable ones by far. He has never done nothing quite so well before and indeed has set the bar at a new level. John, thanks.....and take good care of JE. Also be careful around her. One time some of us were on a riverboat and she set a Kestrel on fire. I'd just keep her away from birds in general, ya' know? Spaw--Founding Partner Lane, Fielding, Patterson, and Swan |

She's more 'jelly beans and a pint of the black stuff, please.' --dontcha think? Allison, she has been cheery enough, of what I've seen (when the johnny flaps, I am instructed to NOT see), but there was a time after the first surgery when her next-door neighbor in the hospital was a confused man who yelled "WHAT TIME IS IT???" every five minutes or so. Our girl had murder in her eyes. The Hansell story was good, you guys. I've read the later stuff, and you can see your evolution. I have been tipped off about a Jukejoint story, and I'll read that one tonight. Thanks again, John |

Or at least we were in sympatico on it...LOL...... Spaw |

08 May 04 - 07:34 PM (#1181416) Subject: RE: BS: JenEllen runs away from home From: SINSULL Re: "johnnies". As some of you know, I am rather well endowed. Huge actually. So...this last trip for another mammogram, I followed the required routine: stripped to the waist and put on the gown given to me with the opening to the front. The problem was that the opening was all across the front. No amount of pulling and tying could disguise the fact that it was 10" shorter than necessary in circumference. I decided to clutch my purse to my chest constricting the appendages as far as possible so that I could maintain a modicum of modesty. The other ladies in the waiting area, all amply covered by their gowns, pretended not to notice. And there i sat refusing to make eye contact with anyone and swearing that I would lose weight before the next mammogram. Finally my name was called and the technician led me into the examining room. She turned to ask me a question and laughed out loud. I was mortified. Turns out my gown had been mislaid. It was from the Children's Wing. Wrong pattern. I waited for a new gown to appear dreading the possibility that it too might not fit. Do these things only happen to me? |

I don't think so!). I'm glad to hear of the mistake, humiliating though it must have been for you! Allison |
