WHY was there no camera handy for the walk with da bear???
How are you feeling today?
I'm thinking that Bear no longer has his Chawklit Bar, and those fuzzy slippers are just the kind I'm imagining Dad wears. :D
Hope you are reading up on just what is the *good stuff* to eat. If you want to treat yourself, some pomegranite juice might even be better than that beer.
Hey Phred, Just want to know how you are doing today? Hope all is well with you and that you are getting stronger with each passing day.
Get well soon!
With love,
Willie :)
"I would prefer beer to chamomile tea all the time"
Yeah ... I forgot about the Chamomile Tea caper ...
Y'all "forgot to mention" that stuff TASTES like Yuck! http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/eek.gif
Friday night I brewed a cup ... *smelled* like ???
Staci said I cooked it wrong - I Dunked & Heated in one step in the nuke box.
"Proper Method" = hot water First, THEN dunk da bag ...
First *sip* was an eye-opening experience!
By the Last *sip* I was convinced this was a cruel joke!
Dunno if it helped with sleep or not -
spent half the night runnin to the poddy getin rid of it!
Memo to Self: Smaller cup & start earlier!
Me thinkin the BEER might be the way to go!
"I'm thinking that Bear no longer has his Chawklit Bar, and

Mr. Bear STILL has his Chawklit Bar! http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/tongue.gif
Sadly, his BLUE Slippers with the EYES are too small for me ...
I eyed them up in the Hoppsbittle as replacements for the classy "slipper/sox"
(short, thin sox wiff "traction bars" on the soles) that I was issued.
Bear still has his Slippers with the *eyes*!
As for Mr. Bear and the Three Amigos ...[/b]
Mr. Bear is watchig over me from the relative safety of On Top of the puter monitor.
Kat did a *double-take* the first time he passed by; Bowser prolly can't see that far;
and Cinder & the SmokeMutt are playing it http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/cool.gif - showing no *interest*.
And there's a few Bear Dens available in High Places that da Kat can't get to!
But if <shudder> the WORST should happen ... The Bear Tail Flyer sez:
"If your Bear is ever injured,
even if the family dog gets a little too friendly with your Bear,
just call (1-800 #) for instructions on admitting your Bear to
our Vermont Teddy Bear Hospital.
We will repair the damage or replace your Bear at no charge.
Talk about a great healthcare plan!"
Wonder if I could slip into his robe & slippers and sneek into Bear General?
"WHY was there no camera handy for the Walk with da Bear???"
Thankfully, only Cindy's Big Kid has a camera/cell ...
She was betting I wouldn't *get out* on Tuesday ... and had promised ALL
her ICU Buddies she was bringing the camera/phone on Wednesday!
(Some photos should never be *snapped*!)

The "left" coast has been making calls to God often too. When I first got the phone message to call Zip - and it was about Phred - and she wanted to tell me in person - not leave a message - my own heart stopped a beat or two as well!
You've got lots of good nurses here who are giving you good advice, so I will leave any suggestions to them.
As for me, I am going to leave that line open to God and continue to ask Him to take good care of you.
So sorry that you got one of those "air conditioned" gowns - but probably everyone was looking at the bear anyway :D :D
You are well loved, Phred. I just wish that we could be expressing that under better circumstances.
Love, The Mom
Phred, I hope I didn't disturp the big get together in your room too much, but I had to know how you were doing before I went to bed. It was a pleasure to talk to Pat - a really nice guy! :)
Concerning the camomille tea, you might try putting a few teaspoons of sugar or honey in - makes it taste a LOT better! ;)
Still sending positive thoughts your way and keeping fingers and paws crossed!

I have it on good authority that Clam Juice is an excellent somnolence!

I love da eyes on da bear's slippers!!! Talk about watchin everything dat goes on!!!
THANK YOU to all the ones who kept us all uppied dated on Phred while he was havin his adventure in the hospital.
We really don't need more of that kind of excitement though! :eek:
Hope you feel better with every day, Phred! Tea may not be as good as beer but it's lots better than Klamz Juice! ;)
Not allowed to drink chammomile tea because of my allergies, however, there's nothing to say you can't disguise the taste and yet have the same sleepy effects. If you got cinnamon sticks in the cupboard, throw one of those in when you poor the teabag in, and some honey. It'll taste much less like swamp water.

Oh Phred....this made me laugh out loud! It's true that chamomile tea isn't the greatest tasting drink in the world but I got used to the taste. Quite frankly, I don't drink much tea at all and I have found that a quick shot of brandy about 30 min before going to bed works wonders.....and it's not like beer that goes through you almost immediately. I had a friend once who used to say that he "rents" beer. :D
Now if that picture of Fister doesn't make you sleepy, I don't know what will. Nice to hear from you Phred and keeping fingers and paws crossed for a nappy time for you tonight.
I think sleepy time tea from celestail seasonings is better it's got some other stuff in it.
I can't beleive we are going to get into the Klam juice again it just never dies. Glad your feeling better. You take and listen to the doctor as you have 4 fuzzyz depending on you.
Phred!!!!!
You know I have been away for 2 weeks, and I came back to read THIS POST!!!
So here are my reactions ............ as I was reading :D
"WHAT - Oh No!!!!!!"
"Oh, OK, that doesn't sound too bad"
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ............" in reaction to prayers offered and things said by Slick and Richard, etc
"Thank goodness - the pups are being looked after"
"Ahhhh, he is home at last"
"Awwwwwwwww, wot a cute bear"
"Ha ha ha ha h ..." - lavender :D
That's it
HUGS to you, gentle ones ............ and as the official BOUNCER on Thursdays ........ One Lite Beer please barman ...... and REMOVE the ashtray from Phred's bar area .......... he WON'T BE USING IT ANYMORE (will You, Phred????)
Cheers and take care
Love
Michelle
....Uuummmm....did Mr. Bear come with his very own descriptive catalog or is Dad amazingly up on describing bear wear? ;) :DQuote:

As for the beer or brandy as Slick suggested, 11 years ago now my mom had a heart attack and had 5 bypasses. Having a dry hacking cough after bypass surgery is common (I guess) and the only thing she could find that would stop the coughing was whiskey. My mom maybe drinks a beer or two a year, so I was quite surprised when she told me she was drinking shots of brandy for her cough :eek: but she said it was the only thing that helped and coughing was so painful she tried everything to stop it. Soooo....as long as the beer doesn't mess with your meds, I don't think one will hurt.
Which brings up another thing which most "heart patients" don't realize at first - if you do catch a cold, there are certain cold meds that you shouldn't take. I don't remember exactly what ingredient you need to look out for, but a pharmacist should be able to tell you.
Anyway, again, so glad to hear you're up and about and things are going well. Hoping and praying it stays that way! :)
Glad to hear things are going well for you Phred! We have returned from our journey in the desert, so if you need anything at all, we are just a short drive away!
