Catlind update

Talked to Clark and Cat this morning. She is still in the hospital, with no idea of when she will be released. Her white blood cell count is off, her blood pressure is 74/48, there is blood in her urine.....they basically don't know what the hell is going on. They didn't run the scope yesterday, in fact they haven't started any tests yet. She's in a lot of pain, and they are keeping her pretty doped up. She's pretty down right now. They've talked about everything from diverticulitis, kidney stones, renal failure (she is on the renal floor of the hospital), spastic colon....you name it.
If anyone is interested in sending a card, or something more personal than an email, her address is:
Cathy Lind
8116 S. 152nd. Ave
Omaha, NE 68138
She really needs some cheering up. And she is very concerned about OUCH, and people thinking she is just not responding to emails and such. She's going to be down and out of commission for quite awhile. I did try to reassure her that no one is going to be mad that she is not working right now.....  .
Mr. Happy got a pretty good scare when he called the hospital this morning. He called and asked how she was doing, and the woman on the phone said they had found a tumor at the base of her skull. Randy just about died of shock.....turns out that between all the drugs, Cat and her roomate sound alike on the phone. It was the roomate he was talking to. He is still trying to recover from it.

I didn't mean to laugh when I read your last paragraph Roxy...But I just pictured Randys face going white.
I'll get a card in the mail today to our battle-scarred friend and tell her to not worry over anything.
Sheesh Louise!!! or is she Thelma? Linda

I've never been good at Cards, but I will make sure to get one out to her. I know that when I have been in the hospital being surrounded by items of support was a great help.
Please let her know that she is in out throughts and prayers.

The roommates situation is pretty dire. She's had cancer before and now it's everywhere. Cat is trying so hard to be supportive for her, but Cat is so down that it's hard for her to do. Clark can't even stay at the hospital with her, because he's taken emergency leave to stay home with the kids.
I'm going to try to get up there and help with the kids so Clark can stay with Cat. Not sure my head is going to let me do anything right now.......

Ya know; it's about time Cat gets a break. WTF has she done other than be as supportive and as hardworking as possible?
We want better news for her and company like yesterday.

Cat,
Please take good care of yourself. Get lots of rest, you need to be in tip-top shape for the convention!
Don't worry about OUCH, they'll still be there when you get back.
Not so sure I would let Tracey take care of the kids though...have you seen her kids?? 
GET WELL!

they had found a tumor at the base of her skull.
My heart stopped pounding, and my fingers finally stopped shaking enough to type. Mel Gibson H. Christ.........and danged if the dear soul roomie didn't answer the phone today and APOLOGIZED to me. She's got a terminal condition, and still felt bad about upsetting me. Talk about feeling humbled.....
Sat afternooon, and Cat still has No Idea what's going on with her body. Clark and Ayden were in for a visit, so I skeedaddled quick (under 10 seconds elapsed time.)
Cat's address is listed. Use it. Forget the email/internet crap, and send her a card (or something neato.) She's been in the hospital for days, and as much as she's doing her best to hide it, she's one scared puppy. Please make sure that She's Got Mail.
Still quaking in my boots,
RJ

Talked to Cat last night. She's still feeling bad and hurting pretty good. Looks like they aren't going to let her out any time soon.
They won't let her out till they know what's wrong, but they don't seem to be running any tests......  . They think it might just be a bad allergic reaction to the methadone they had put her on earlier in the month, but I can't figure out how that would cause her severe pain?????
She is really down.

Hi, Cat .. it's Linda/DJ's Mom. I don't know when you will get to read this message, but just want you to know I've been talking to Tracey and DJ today. They tell me you are stuck in the hospital with people less fortunate healthwise than you are. I know your doctors are not going to let you go until they give you their official "OK". So .. take advantage of the opportunity to take a needed rest (albiet .. not the way you might otherwise want to rest). Everyone will understand if they don't hear from you for a few days .. and we all will be thinking of/and saying little prayers for your speedy recovery. Hugs to you, Sweet One .. Linda/DJ's Mom :)
