Karens ( Beareidges better half ) Stroke.

There's always the chance if you go into a rehab joint you might meet some famous people like Brittany Spears or somebody. Or is that a different sort of rehab?

I knew a guy who re-habbed fishing boats for a living.

Hmm......well, anyway, we're still praying, even if we aren't professionals like that nun was.

Friend piper,

I see they took Brittany off ta the nervous hospital. However, I run inta a nurse here who must be a gymnast. She wuz here when we first come in....back when the doctor tole me how bad it looked fer Miz Bear. It wuz 2 'er 3 a.m. 'n I musta been more wore out than I knew cuz I hardly noticed her. I reckon I wuz the one who wuz near bout brain dead.

Been thinkin' bout askin' her fer a jpeg, but I figger some of ya'll lust enuff az it iz. When I git Miz Bear out of the ICU, I aim ta set up a job talk with this nurse ta see if she likes campin', fartin', snorin', eatin' MRE's, restin', sippin' whiskey, geezers, etc. Havin' her along on expedishuns would likely do more good than a GPS. I figger it iz danged reckless ta set out without a nurse. If she caint go, I'll see if she haz a sister. :wink:

Br'r Bear, please give hugs to both Mz Bear and Nurse Bambii. (I'd suggest doing it in different locations and at different times. Otherwise, YOU will be the one in ICU.)

 

[bearridge]

Howdy Boys,

I am settin' here in the ICU waitin' on a room ta open up. ICU doc sez Miz Bear dont belong here no more. She seen herself in a mirror this mornin'. I figgered that wuz gwine ta be a bad day. She sez "dang....I look like Ronald McDonald....jest what a hairdresser needs". I am mitey proud she never lost her sense of humor.

[islandpiper]

Bear, a sense of humor is about the best medicine there is, for anything. If they could bottle that and pass it out a lot of folks might never even get sick.

[swamprat]

That's fantastic!!! 8) 8)

 

[bearridge]

Fellas,

I typed a long one ta piper bout laughin' bein' good medicine 'n how I am settin' here in this fine room with a big fella couch, a desk....near bout like a Holiday Inn Express. I tole ya'll how Lance 'n me met Dr. Ferris Jordan on the Mississippi River jest above the White 'n Arkansaw Rivers. [Story #32 fer the ole timers.]

Then I tole some more bout what a fine hospital this iz......one of the security guards tole me "have a blessed day" bout 5 a.m. the day I near bout give up cuz the doctor tole me he didnt see no way ta help Miz Bear make the trip.

I wrote some more stuff bout sleepin' in the same room with the love of my life fer the first time since Jan. 21. I know ya'll been waitin' up ta read that. Then I reached over fer a sip of my XXX medicine. Spilt it on my Steve Jobs computer. I pulled my shirt outta my britches 'n went ta wipin'. Wiped out everthing....but my Macbook keeps on tickin'.

Tellin' this tale twice haz took the last of my git-up-'n-go. I reckon I'll see ya'll in the mornin' after I call Miz Ann. Lord I hope she dont chew on what iz left of my ass fer not callin' her sooner. :?

bearridge

ps Bein' part of the Shade Tree Medikle Clinic really opens doors round here....if ya'll know what I mean. I sat in the "doctor only" lounge in the neuro ICU 2 'er 3 times. Didnt see no other doctors 'er nurse/gymnasts. I tote my briefcase with my Macbook, so these folks are bound ta see I am close a Noble Prize myownself. After Al Gore I figger the Noble folks mite be ready fer the Theory of Ignorant Design? Heck, if they give Comrade Nelson Mandella one, they caint be hard ta git. :roll: :roll:

[oldyaker]

William....I look forward to your reports everyday. There ain't a day goes by without Miz Pat ask'n how Karen is fairing. Glad most of the news is positive.
Take care of yourself too......we got some more camp'n, paddlin, and Dago Red sippin to do.....

 

[islandpiper]

yakker, if you are going to drink Dago Red with Bearridge make sure his 'puter is safely put away first. A D.R. spill would kill the machine, wheras good sippin' whiskey mostly just cleans the keyboard contacts and evaporates.

Pour a little bit of each on both sides of a clean white shirt (borrow one from the preacher) and you'll see what I mean.

That's alcohol abuse!

 

[oldyaker]

A D.R. spill would kill the machine, Piper

Well...It didn't kill Great Grandpa, he lived to a hundred and three days. Grandpa made it to 96. I believed he would have made to a hundred too....but the Doctor made him cut back on drinking.....


Br'r Bear may live to a hundred and fifty...I've been around campfires where I seen him drink both in the same evening! :shock:

 

[bearridge]

Friend oldyaker,

I did indeed enjoy a fine red wine earlier. Sippin' whiskey jest takes the edge off. That Indian doctor tole everbody ta keep away frum 10 pm til 6 am. That oughta let Miz Bear git well. Even the nurses come in 'n hugged me cuz they knew there aint no sense in most of the prickin', pokin' & pressin'.

We caint quite see the light at the tunnel end yet, but we know the tracks dont go but one way.

Guard: Sorry Luke, jest doing my job, ya gotta appreciate that?
Luke: Naw.....jest sayin' its yer job dont make it right boss.

 

[Paddlin'Gator]

Bear,
Each day will be gettin' you and Karen closer to the end of that tunnel. A little D.R. chased with some fine sippin' whiskey each day will help the engineer keep the train on the track.

[Paddlin'Gator]

Yep, slipped in while the guards had other things on their minds.

Thanks for the welcome Yak and Bear. Being a professional procrastinator, it does sometimes take me a little longer to get around to doing things than normal folks.
