Thanks, Steve. I've been paddlin' with some of these characters for about four years, but thought it wise to observe them for a good long time before risking having my fine reputation sullied by association :wink:

Well, I guess if we can't be famous we'll have to settle for being infamous. That's about the same, but a little different.

Friend Brad,

Roscoe Brown frum Arkansaw 'n Twyla are like two pigs in dookie. I am spending the nite here at home fer the first time since Jan. 21. I picked up a fine woman this afternoon 'n she iz dozin' there in the bed waitin' on me ta give her the dope frum the rehab hospital. They give us a weekend pass....kinda like when Erletta come ta visit Luke whilst he wuz doin' time fer cuttin' the top off them parkin' meters.

We both nearly fell out yesterday when her doc sez "I mite give ya'll a weekend pass tomorrow". He plum fergot us today, but this afternoon I went 'n bothered Nurse Rached who called the doc. After some hush hush talk she sez "doc sez ya'll kin go". She said she wuz gwine ta git our dope together, but they had ta order some more frum the drug store downstairs. Took 'em over an hour ta send up four pills. I bothered Nurse Rached twice ta make her ask 'em why they fergot us. Bout 4 pm we headed north like a horse fer the barn.

They loaned us a wheelchair 'n a short people walker. Tomorrow Miz Bear aims ta see how long she kin set in a tub fulla hot water. Hospital folks jest wont let ya sleep....they gotta poke, prick, squeeze 'n make ya take dope....all nite long. I tole 'em we wuz wore out 'n had ta git some shut eye.

Roscoe Brown: Find July! He's been gone over six days!
Peach Johnson: He's gone to Texas, Roscoe. I reckon you can find Texas!
Roscoe Brown: Of course I can find Texas, Peach. I just don't know if I can find July!

Friend oldyaker,

I asked the rehab gals if they would help her work on her sling blade swing. I bought her a new weed whacker....a lite one with a rechargin' battery (she spent too long runnin' 250' of extension cord cross the yard), but out on the west 40, beside the barn 'n in some other tight spots round the corral, she haz ta use the sling blade 'er the Kaiser blade. This dang stroke iz messin' up with my good life. :?

Gotta go check what I hope iz my last load of laundry.

Howdy boys, havin' a good game of cards? Good news here......we are leavin' Friday. I didnt have ta pull out the sink 'n chunk it thru the window. Miz Bear walked on her own two legs today....with the therapy gals holdin' onta a safety belt. Our hometown Richard Simmons will have her sweatin' with the oldies after we git home. :wink:

Friend Steve,

These doctors dont know what ta make of Miz Bear. They caint figger out how she come back frum no signs of life.....even fer someone slam fulla dope with a machine doin' her breathin' thru a tube down her throat. The neuro shrink here plans ta interrupt her therapy tomorrow fer hiz research.....mebbe come up with some answers....mebbe git a Noble Prize. :wink: The Nuns dont need no research. :wink:

We tole the neuro shrink jest ta give us a call after we git home. We dont mind talkin' on the phone, long az Roscoe Brown frum Arkansaw 'n Twyla are happy 'n Miz Bear 'n me sleep in the same bed at nite......at home where I kin tend ta the birds 'n thin out the squirrels.

This haz been one very long strange trip. I wonder what the tab will come ta?

Karen and Bearridge.....we are all so happy for you both. B......you do the dishes and stuff, give her some time off to just sit and watch TV.......

Remeber, Hitlarly's health care plan would paid for all of it, but you would have waited two years to qualify before you could have gone to the hospital.
