Subject: Kendall, in the stretch... From: SINSULL Date: 17 May 02 - 12:14 PM Captain Morse is in the final countdown - nine more radiation treatments to go. And he feels like shit! I don't believe I have ever used a fully spelled obscenity on Mudcat before so you know I am serious. He has a vicious sore throat and he is sick of it. He is worn down and tired and he is sick of it. His voice is almost back - not good enough...and he's sick of it. Some words of encouragement to get him through the final hurdle? The best I can offer is OLD SONGS. |

Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: MMario Date: 17 May 02 - 12:20 PM A stoic Down-Easter admitting he is sick and tired of something? *THIS* is *SERIOUS!*

Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: CapriUni Date: 17 May 02 - 12:27 PM Kendall's "final stretch" is just in time for the second leg of the Triple Crown: So in that spirit, I say:
Go, Kendall! |

Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: katlaughing Date: 17 May 02 - 12:28 PM Short road trips of any help to get his mind off of it? Chloraseptic to kill the sore throat pain. Reminders of his own words about the power of this place and our good thoughts? Movies? Anything to distract, if he's feeling well enough. How about a ride out on the seas? Gardening, taking the dog for long walks...playing bingo somewhere if you can holler out for him when he wins! Just some ideas...now, Kendalldarlin'...nine is less than ten which is less than however many you started out with and it's working. Hurray! Pretty soon it will be 8, then 7...well, you get the picture. *See* yourself further along in the summer, done with the treatments, *feel* a pain-free "swallow" or two and keep that visualisation in your mind and heart. Some surgeons even tell their patients to go in with a vision of what they want to be doing after surgery. I know you know this already, but it will help if you can make yourself do it. In the meantime, I'll do the same for you and send you lots of {{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}... luvyakat |

Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: Lonesome EJ Date: 17 May 02 - 12:32 PM Kendall, thanks for the courage you've shown in confiding your thoughts and fears here. It's been an inspiration to many of us. |

Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: Stilly River Sage Date: 17 May 02 - 01:00 PM Kendall, it seems like only yesterday that you were complaining of the sore throat and not having any good answers as to why it had lasted for so long. Mudcatters have helped by providing referrals and connections and you've done the hard part by following through. It seems so quick, you're almost through with an aggressive and effective treatment that will give you back everything you wanted--health and a voice. That's pretty darned amazing. Stick with it, you're almost through. (And look for some of that Celestial Seasonings Throat Soother Tea. It really does help). The spirit of this place and your willingness to both share your health concerns and accept the help offered by list members makes all of this a magical thing to watch. I hope that by looking back at the process you initiated you're inspired to finish, despite the pain you're experiencing right now. As one cancer survivor to another, I can tell you that the pain will pass; you will realize one day soon that after the cure it went from Big C to little c cancer, and you'll be glad you did it. Many other things will change also, for the better, but you've probably already figured that out. And said "thank-you" and "I love you" to people who you really needed to have hear it. Now is the time to begin examining this experience for the good things it has revealed. And there will be lots of them. Maggie |

Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: GUEST,Midchuck downstairs Date: 17 May 02 - 01:09 PM Do the Docs let you have whiskey? I suppose they won't. That's the only thing that works for me for any kind of sore throat - and that only for a short time. I have to keep repeating the dosage. I just found out, both my kids are coming to Old Songs this year. You met Ian. Andrea is a Dr. in Montana. She may be the best looking Doctor I know, but I'm prejudiced. She can't practice in NY State, but you can complain at her. If you see her slipping a rubber thingy on her finger, stop complaining, quick. If you tell her your problems are at the north end, she may ignore you. Peter. |

Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: Troll Date: 17 May 02 - 01:20 PM Kendall, it could always be worse. It could be Monday. Memsahib went through it with her radiation theatments so I can sympathize albeit from a distance. As we both know, gettin' old is not for sissies and it seems that the older we get the more crap gets thrown at us. This too shall pass and the pain will end. I'll send you an e-mail from Japan. I leave in the morning. I'll say a prayer for you at a Shinto shrine. troll |

When are you going to come down to visit The Neighborhood (Silver Spring, MD)? I've been thinking about you, and getting updates from KathWestra. Because I'm lousy about writing and want to try to make up for all the times I haven't checked in, here's a BIG HUG!! See you soon, darling... |

And soon this year-long ordeal with be over with. I have to admit, though, that I feel somewhat selfishly about the whole thing. There are so many songs I still want to learn from you! Dan in NH |

Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: gnu Date: 17 May 02 - 03:42 PM "Do the Docs let you have whiskey?" Now c'mon Midchuck. What's that got to do with anything ? Remember what I told you Cap'n, CC's OK but Gibson's Finest is smooooooth. Just what the doctor ordered. |

Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: SharonA Date: 17 May 02 - 04:09 PM I used to have a boyfriend who was a Vietnam veteran – Special Forces – who'd driven his body hard and had lots of bones broken and muscles pulled and guts sliced and blood lost and teeth ground until they broke. He used to tell me that every day, when he woke up feeling like shit because everything hurt and nothing moved, then he was happy because he knew his body was telling him he was still alive. He'd made it through another night. So, kendall, hang in there and remember that as long as you're feeling like shit, you're still feeling something. Like the old guy says in the York peppermint patty commercial, "I get the sensation that... well, I'm just glad I get a sensation." You can do it, kendall, just keep on driving on. |

Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: Dave the Gnome Date: 17 May 02 - 04:09 PM Go, Kendall, Go, Kendall, Go, Kendall, Go!!! Just think it could be worse.

Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: kendall Date: 17 May 02 - 04:32 PM Sinsull, you would make a poor priest! I can't help but think these folks get tired of all the moaning. It's been so long, 4 solid weeks of sore throat and a funny voice. They said it would get to me, and it is. I'm so thankful for the moral support from you all. |
|
Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: MMario Date: 17 May 02 - 04:36 PM Kendall - if you're not going to do your own moaning - what kind of a friend would she be if she didn't moan for you? Never fear - you *know* this crowd - if we get tired of something we will tell you. Probably repeatedly. Probably Repeatedly. Meanwhile - I personally feel you have probably done far too little complaining. |

Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: Áine Date: 17 May 02 - 05:26 PM Hey there, my favorite Yankee!! Darlin', you're in the stretch and you're way ahead of the pack (and always have been, in my book). Besides, you've thousands of Mudcatters at the rail, waving their tickets, totally confident of you winning against any odds. So, let me just give you a wee slap on the hinder to remind you to keep on going as best as you can, and just think about the rewards in the Winner's Circle!! Ya know, there's a reason why women love horses so much -- it's a lot of trouble to catch 'em, break 'em in, saddle 'em, keep 'em clean and healthy -- But, boy howdy, is the ride worth it!!!! ;-) Keepin' ya in my heart as always, Áine |

Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: catspaw49 Date: 17 May 02 - 05:54 PM Yeah, well, I bet it is a stretch....but it's your own damn fault. I tried to tell you to go to an ENT Specialist but being the cheap old bastard that you are and a friggin' know-it-all to boot, did you listen to me? Hell no...... You went out and found a Proctologist who gave you a better rate, and of course administering treatment to your throat by going up your ass is a definite stretch of several body parts and just adds to the pain of the whole thing as well. Good Lord I hate to think how much you'd be wimpering around if you'd gone to that Urologist you were considering. Spaw |

Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: Ferrara Date: 17 May 02 - 06:30 PM Kendall, I love what Troll said -- that getting old is not for sissies! 'Struth. In the meantime, I know from the early days after my transplant -- there are times when you don't want to hear how lucky you are to be alive. You want somebody to sympathize with how rotten you feel! Well I do. Yes it's a medical miracle, I'm thrilled that the outlook is so good, but still --- It's some damned hard times to be gotten through. So. Right now you're caught in the medical meat grinder, a most uncomfortable place to be ... you have my sympathy ... and I'll play my zither just for you again, when you make it to the Getaway. How's that for something to look forward to? You should hear me plunk out Beer Barrel Polka on that thing!;-) All the best, Rita |

Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: Big Mick Date: 17 May 02 - 06:51 PM OK...........you old fart.......first you get cozy with Max at the Getaway...........now you whine about this old load of shite.........what the hell gives???????? Next you will tell us that you were really the fair cabin boy instead of the skipper!!! Seriously, being sick sucks. I don't do it well, and I don't imagine you do either. But you need to hang in, my friend, and know that every single one of us is interested in, and cares about your recovery. Good friends don't come along often, and besides, I need you at your sharpest to help me fend off the anti-handgun hoardes.............LOL. Know that you are in my prayers, my friend. I am pulling for you all the way. And we have spooky songs to sing at the Getaway. Mick |

Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: kendall Date: 17 May 02 - 07:50 PM I'll have you know I'm NOT a man my age! Actually, I'm just tired. Other than that, and the sore throat,I feel fine. Those phasers tend to sap your energy you know. |

Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: Jeri Date: 17 May 02 - 08:38 PM Just close your eyes Kendall. Imagine the smell of tall pines after a rain. Imagine feeling the warmth of the people who surround you and care about you. Imagine the sound of their laughter and joyful singing. Imagine what 'someday soon' will be like once you get through 'now'. Now open your eyes...Kendall? Open your eyes! Kendall? You aren't even reading this are you?! |

Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: SINSULL Date: 17 May 02 - 08:38 PM Priests (at least the ones I grew up with) were all male and took vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. How nice to know even you recognize that I would make a poor priest. The kind folks here rarely tolerate moaning and self pity. But they can be counted on to offer support and humor when and where they are needed. Right now, Captain, you qualify. Hell! You're so miserable that I had to pay someone to put together my new futon - just didn't have the heart to ask you. Of course, I did enjoy those two young muscular types with heavy toolbelts. One even asked to borrow my ratchet! No battery powered screw drivers for him! |

Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: Mudlark Date: 18 May 02 - 01:39 AM Dear Kendall...4 weeks of sore throat, with all the stress and worry on top of that....aghhhh... I'm prone to strep throat infections and even 4 DAYS has me climbing the walls, thinking I can't stand this one minute longer. No fair that one HAS to swallow, over and over, with a sore throat. Do icy treats help? Hang in there.... |
|
Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: kendall Date: 18 May 02 - 03:12 AM It's 3:15 am. I can't sleep, but, at least I have a longer day to enjoy the pain. Maybe I'll go to L.L.Bean and look around. Their prices might take my mind off the pain. |

Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: Mark Cohen Date: 18 May 02 - 05:00 AM Kendall, I lived in Beantown for a month about 10 years ago. Even the damn McDonald's in Freeport had to look "quaint"! But I really enjoyed Maine. Almost as much as Hawaii. Seriously, you might want to look into finding a hypnotherapist to help you with the sore throat. I've taken a course and am starting to use hypnosis in my practice--it can be very effective. I'd be happy to work with you, too, even by phone...if that diaper rash doesn't clear up. Just let me know. Aloha, Mark |

Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: CapriUni Date: 18 May 02 - 12:41 PM I just realized, this morning, that the metaphors in this thread have gone back to Kendall being A Little Horse... Do bad puns have any anaesthic effect? at least, we haven't gotten into Bed Pans! |

Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: kendall Date: 18 May 02 - 01:27 PM Why would anyone want to get into a bed pan? |

Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: CapriUni Date: 18 May 02 - 02:00 PM Kendall -- We don't want to get into bed pans, so we'll just stick to bad puns. And despite all appearances to the contrary, I don't think you will ever qualify as a redneck!! |

Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: Hrothgar Date: 18 May 02 - 10:34 PM Do you really think you should use the expression "stretch" when it's a neck problem? Look at what happened to Ned Kelly! :-)) |
|
Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: Stilly River Sage Date: 18 May 02 - 10:40 PM Would that be old Marx Brothers re-runs? Laughter is good medicine, but it is also one to take in careful doses when laughter involves the throat. Good luck sleeping all night, Kendall. The middle of the night is a lousy time to be up and rattling around, when no one else is there to keep you company, and there's little going on to distract you from your thoughts or pain. Does a hot steamy shower help the throat at all? Avoid sweets of all sorts when you have any kind of a mouth sore, or sore throat. The sugar makes it feel worse. SRS |

Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: gnu Date: 19 May 02 - 06:46 AM SRS is quite correct about sweets, so I would suggest water only with that Gibson's. |

Shows us that a) there is someone else worse off than us (check out DW's post in the 'ride or not to ride' thread...) b) we are still valued members of society, even if no-one actually listens to us and c) there is always the NYCFTTS when it really gets bad. Take care and take heart, and if you come over to see Morticia, make sure she invites me to dinner sometime! LTS |

Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: Kaleea Date: 21 May 02 - 12:54 AM Kendall, When my dear friend (a lady of about 70 years) was in the hospital, about a year & 1/2 ago, I showed up regularly morning & night, and then one day, I was a bit late getting there--knowing that her kids would be gathered around by then, & that it would be almost time for rounds. When I arrived, the residents were gathered about her bed, and the Dr. in charge of the case (whom I had met on several occasions) was explaining various & sundry aspects of her case to the Dr.s in training. As they continued the exam, one "almost a Dr." asked about certain skin burns & tears which the Dr. was getting ready to atribute to the radiation--I had heard this part of the lecture before. Just then,I whipped out my Star Trek medical tricorder, and the other acoutrements such as the little thingie that Dr. McCoy would hold above the patient, & run back & forth (it makes a really cool sound, too!) , all the while looking at the tricorder, and then I got the medical instrument which instantly heals wounds (on Star Trek, of course) and told the trainees that obviously the burns & skin irritations were "due to the most recent round of radiation," and I then gave the medical instrument to one of the residents, & pointed at the button which operates the laserlight (which, if we were on the TV show, or in the movies, would have made short work of sealing the wounds on the skin) and don't you know that the trainee actually began to depress the button & ran the light back & forth across the skin tear a couple of times before the Dr. and the rest of the residents erupted into hysterical laughter. At which time, my friend--who happens to be a bigtime trekkie--laughed so hard, she said her sides hurt. Her sons had quite big eyes & wondered if I had lost my marbles, and her grandson said, "cool! can I see it?" The woman in the next bed demanded that I use the medical instruments on her, too! One of the sons got photos as proof of the incident. She has since gone into remission, and still tells this story at every opportunity, attributing her recovery to the medical tricorder & other medical instruments which she informed her grandkids that Dr. McCoy gave to me on one of his trips back in time on the Enterprise with Cptn. Kirk & the gang! If you were anywhere near, I'd bring it & use it on you, too, Kendall! Instead, I'll use advanced mind techniques to send healing rays of light to you! Kaleea |

I'm with Ferrara on this, and if you want someone to feel for you 'cos you're in pain then I feel for you. Here's a big groan to save you the trouble of groaning for yourself GRO-O-O-A-A-A-A-N BTW, I added an extra 'l' to you name 'cos I usually forget one and I thought I'd make up for it.

Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: kendall Date: 21 May 02 - 07:58 AM Bobert, what makes you think I'd resent prayers? I believe in the power of positive energy; that's what prayer is.

Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: CapriUni Date: 21 May 02 - 08:59 AM And I'm one of those who believes that magic wands do work... just not instantly. I don't have a wand at the moment (and it sounds to me like you have enough of high energy beams being zapped at you, anyway). So I'll just send my special mint mist healing light, boosted with high-potency pink love polka-dots... |
|
Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: catspaw49 Date: 21 May 02 - 09:12 AM Look Bert, a toothpick does not a magic wand make. And frankly since your advanced age has given you problems with your eyes, I can understand why you painted it white with a red tip......but a toothpick is still a toothpick. Put the thing away before it puts someone's eye out. Granted, the magnifying glass they are using to see it will probably protect them, but why take a chance? Spaw |

From: catspaw49 Date: 21 May 02 - 09:18 AM From CapriUni: "I don't have a wand at the moment" But uh, listen up......If you happen to develop a magic wand, let me know huh? We could make some real money with the National Enquirer and maybe a carnival tour...... Spaw |

Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: CapriUni Date: 21 May 02 - 10:49 AM LOL, Spaw. Actually, I get quite a bit of scam-spam promising that if I use the product advertised, I'll get a bigger penis... Which I wouldn't mind, if it came with a man attatched at the one end... ;-) |

Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: Stilly River Sage Date: 21 May 02 - 10:59 AM Is that the kind of wand you folks are waving around? Did anyone do a Maypole dance with Kendall in mind on May 1? (Big Grin!) SRS |

Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: CapriUni Date: 21 May 02 - 01:04 PM And since we're talking about a certain kinds of wands, maybe we should avoid "the stretch"... (though it might indeed take Kendall's mind off the pain in his throat). |

Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: catspaw49 Date: 21 May 02 - 01:27 PM Hey gang, if we were using Kendall's wand for a Maypole dance, it would not only be the shortest pole and dance in history, but there would be the additional obstacle of trying to damce "around" a pole that was laying on the ground like a night crawler. I can't see it as being any fun at all............ Spaw |

Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: Hollowfox Date: 22 May 02 - 09:35 PM Kendall, remember that song Sarah Cleveland sang: Now keep a stout heart, from joy don't depart, Manfully serve your time through. Be it threescore and ten, or twice that again, It will come down to one and a few. |

Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: SINSULL Date: 23 May 02 - 07:17 PM Just got off the phone with Captain Morse. He was calling to tell me that he suddenly felt great! The throat is still sore but the exhaustion and depression were gone! Given that this follows directly upon my telling him that I am going away for the long weekend, I am left to wonder if I should be glad or offended. Mumble Mumble... |

Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: catspaw49 Date: 23 May 02 - 09:13 PM You ought to go away more often Sins. A couple of long trips out of town and the guy will be positively euphoric! Spend a month traveling and he'll be dancing in the streets and looking 10 years younger............ Spaw |

Subject: RE: Kendall, in the stretch... From: Stilly River Sage Date: 23 May 02 - 11:55 PM Naw, his recovery seems to have come directly after my remarks about finishing treatment next week, allowing him to visualize that returning health, self-actualizing his own cure. You don't need to leave town!
