Folks, Wayne just called. He and his wife, Connie, are best friends with Pat & Karen.

He said Spaw has been in hospital for a few days. They aren't sure of what all may be going on, but he has had two transfusions and is kind of out of it due to painkillers, plus there have been issues with breathing.

I will try to reach him and/or Karen, tomorrow and post an update as I find out more.

Please keep him in your thoughts and thanks.

Uh-oh. I wondered why he wasn't responding to some pretty obvious bait here and there on the threads.

Look, Spaw. You can't keep doing this. Just admit your at your Secret Arctic Fortress of Solitude and we'll understand. We, too, visit it at least once a day and most of use more often. Don't try to fool us by calling it a "hospital." Damn it, man, it's an OUTHOUSE!!

Went out just now to have a bit of a talk with the moon, the same moon shining down on you, Spaw, Karen and family. That ol' reflective orb is reflecting more than sunlight just now. Love, care and concern to and for all of you.

Spaw's the only Mudact poster who could send me into helpless giggles with his sparkling repartee and cryptic comments.

Get well soon Spaw - We need you

I'm sure that Heaven isn't ready for him yet and I'm sure that he isn't ready for heaven.

As for the other place - well, I have this image of the devil crapping himself at the thought that Spaw might get anywhere close.

This is just Possum Revenge raising its ugly head, so to speak. Mister Spaw, just confess your sins and all will be well. Do it soon, as we need more of them out here.


Hugs, bro,

Would Spaw prefer that I send healing thoughts from far-off California or would he be more comfortable with a noxious miasma? Hmmmm...sending both, just in case -- and a lot of love.

Out, damned Spaw! out, I say!
Great blood and medix there shall save your life.
But neither dwell nor tarry, lest the strife
And vacuum in this cafe break our hearts;
We, too, need cure: Thy true and verbal farts.

Well done, CH!

This will be brief as my right hand is out of commission. I spoke to Spaw this morning. He sounded pretty good at first, but soon sounded very tired out. His cell phone and mine do not agree with one another; I have a difficult time catching all that he says, but after talking to him and Connie, here is what I know:

Things have been going wonky for the past month or so. His INR is up this week and his blood pressure was low yesterday. They are working at stabilizing him before they do a colonoscopy and/or upper GI to see if they can figure out why he needed transfusions.

I will post more as I hear from Connie and/or Karen. Just my opinion, but this is one time I think I'd soft-peddle the scatological stuff. I know it's one way we all deal with our concerns, but I think I can say on behalf of Pat that it kind of wears thin, sometimes. I mean no offence to anyone. As I said, just my opinion.

Thanks for all your good thoughts and energies and hugs. I know they are greatly appreciated by Pat, Karen, and the boys.
