That's sad. He hadn't posted much lately
but he always made me laugh.

My sympathy to his family and friends.

Oh man! I knew he'd been missing for a long while but had no idea it was
this bad. Please give my condolences to his family and friends.

Good-bye Moosie.

Although I can't bring myself to boil ribs in your honor, I'll raise
a
glass.

Come on. Just two ribs. This Sunday, I'm going to BBQ 6 racks of
ribs, but for Moosie, I'll trim off 2 ribs from the largest rack and
boil them. I just might post pictures on alt.binaries.food if I
remember to take some.

You'll be missed.

Yes!

BOB

I've been lying low due to computer problems....damn trojan horses......this
is a complete shock.....I second the request for where to send condolences.

All I can think of when you mentioned the bbq is Cuchlain waiting for him
and showing him how they do ribs 'up here'.

It helps when the doctors do all the testing first before digging into
one. My Mom, in her 90's, had hip surgery last year. Took her 3
months to get home, and the anesthesia does cause some short-term
memory loss (she thought she still lived in the house where she grew
up!), but she eventually was fine.

I'm glad afterwards that I had gotten her to write down a lot of her
standard recipes. She's forgotten some of them, and a few I'm finding
there are still a few questions about things that don't come out the
way her's did.

She's coming home this week after another little "vaction" fine-tuning
her pill collection.

Depends upon what the alternative is. Some procedures are more elective than
others, and some really are not.

That's very good to hear. My fil went from ... not great, but he
could still talk to a confused guy who continually said Yeah yeah
yeah ... this for a pacemaker. Great, now his heart will keep him
alive as long as possible. It was mercy when he passed away
last year.

Often? If that were so, why would it be permitted? Are there

I seriously cannot speak for a specific anesthetic. I do know
a) what I saw first hand and b) even a recent study showing
people over 69 show a bad reaction to anasthesia.

I don't doubt for a minute that older people react worse to strong
drugs. That's why I'm interested when a particular one is singled out.
So I can avoid it, if it's warranted. -aem

Surgeons love it and use it for damned near every operation because it will
make you completely forget that you woke up screaming in agony in the
middle of your surgery. Tends to keep the malpractice suits down.

I don't know about any bad side effects (maybe I forgot) but
they gave me this stuff when I had my kidney and associated
tumor removed.

It is a very effective memory-wiper.

It was the weirdest thing. I was waiting in pre-op for them to
take me to surgery, and then *blink*, just like that, the lights
changed, I was in a different room (post-op) with various tubes
attached and minus a kidney. No memories at all of being
wheeled down the hall, talking to my wife, etc.

Sad news. I always enjoyed his posts very much - his cheekiness and sense
of humour. My condolences to his friends and family - thanks for passing on

The big problem is - if you're elderly and need surgery there's no
alternative to using an anesthetic, is there. Frightening. I suppose I
fall into that category and all I know is that after having surgery last
year I have strange memory problems. I think the medical profession knows
this happens.

I love Versed! I've had it three times now. One nice thing about it is that
you do not have to be completely unconscious --- you can be awake, but just
not care what they are doing to you. You can listen to the surgeons and
nurses for the "Oops!" word. That makes for a very quick recovery. With-in a
half hour after the surgeries, I was able to walk to the car and go home. I
had a spinal block once and had to wait almost 2 hours until I could walk to
the car and go home. Spinal blocks are much more frightening. BTW, I don't
do hospital stays. Don't like 'em.

A few years ago I had medical tests (and surgery) in another country and
they used Versed. Afterwards, I walked up the sidewalk and I had lunch
in a restaurant. I ordered in Portuguese and I enjoyed whatever it was
they brought me. Later, I do not remember how I got to the restaurant,
but I was OK other than that.

Since my computer died, I haven't been watching RFC much and the sad
news. Got an email from his son today informing me about his death,
which sent me looking for this thread.

Moosemeat was a good hearted, funny and mischevious person who loved to
stir the pot in rfc. He and his antics will be missed, that's for
sure!
