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

Yes, that is what happened with my mother. She had open heart surgery
and she never really recovered either. A week later, she died.

This grieves me. Moosemeat was an RFC institution.

Anesthesia (sp) in older people is a BAD THING. Rapid decline tends

It was my FIL he hung on for 8 weeks of pure misery. Eventually his kidneys
failed from all the plaque that they dislodge he eventually passed on from
Kidney failure - His choice to stop the dialyses - he came to made his peace
and was gone 36 hours later surrounded by family. The 300 to 400K to the
medical profession really irked me.

I'm really sorry about that, I saw the same thing with my inlaws. They had
terrific insurance, so any time the hospital got ahold of them, we'd have to
pry them out of the place. I can't imagine how much they would have owed.

Sorry about your fil. I'm happy he's at peace.

Oh gee, that makes me so sad. I know I dont post here very often but I
read regularly and for years when Ive had ribs or read recipes about
them ive thought of him. Well, Im sure he's aware of how highly he was
thought of, not just here but in his personal life. Bless his heart.

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.

Moosie and I had a "pretend feud", and one of the ruses was that we'd

Oh Sue, I am truly sorry to hear this. Ed and I weren't exactly friends, but
he was an important part of r.f.c. and close to many folks here. I am
saddened and send my condolences to his family and his r.f.c. friends.

I always enjoyed reading his comments about St

Remember his tale about driving Mavis to Dairy Queen for a Peanut Buster

Someone mentioned his limericks, I will miss those too.

Yep

It's staggering how much they owed and to a ton of doctors most of whom we
never saw. It seems like every day a new doctor with a different specialty
"looked in on him" or read the chart or was on call on the 7th green and
sent a bill for several hundred dollars. It was staggering no wonder
Medicare is in trouble (raising rates). I don't want to get started but the
medical system here is broken.

From a long time lurker of RFC

Wendy

While I have been unpacking my kitchen (just moved from Boston to MN),
I have been reminiscing about conversations in rec.food.cooking when I
was a frequent poster (mid nineties up till 2000 or so, I guess). Just
yesterday, I found a special place to store the enormous lead-filled
meat mallet that Moosie made for me in his woodshop after hearing me
complain about the lightweight pounders in the supermarket. He also
sent two salad forks with roosters on them, along with a note reminding
me to study hard and that he knew I was a "good girl." I loved those
forks so much, I was afraid to use them. I think I've only set them on
the table once or twice in ten years, but I do rub mineral oil on them
to keep the wood supple.

Anyway, I remember the chicken leg story, and also his proclamation on
grape jelly: "I learned that it is best not to try every thing one
reads about here like grape jelly in meatballs." I am deeply saddened
to hear about his passing. I hate to ask, but is St. Mavis... still
around? Sue (or anyone), is there an address or something that I could
send a card?

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.

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.

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.

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!
