Awol again
Hi all, just looking in, maybe for the last time, after having a series of mini strokes earlier in the year, I had a much bigger strok in February, I was recovering quite well
until I had a serious setback a few months ago. My son Gary looked in for a visit and found me laying uncncosious on my bedroom floor, seems Id been there for a couple of days, I have no memory of it at all, the first thing I was aware of was being put on an ambulance. I was in hospital for the next five weeks, been home for about two months now, got a walking aid with wheels as I needed to get back on my feet, now feeling a bit stronger and better, while I was in hospital the appointment for my heart op camf
Gary had to cancel the appointment as it was impossible to do, will now have to see how it goes , only time will tell, have carers daily and district nurse twic a week.
Missed the site and you lads, would like to thank Brian for creating this great site and wish him all the best for the future , also wish everyone on site all the best including absent friends thatre taking a break , hope to look in again at some point, but not sure at the mo. ADIOS AMIGOS. cheers JOHN COLLIER.

Re: Awol again
Hello John F
Really not good news at all mate, and i know a bit about where you have been and coming from, after my massive Heart Attack and 6 Bypass Op, but that was some time back, and for me well, lucky that i healed well, and am actually fitter and more active that the previous Years.
I sincerely hope that you will recover well, possibly go for that Op as well, they really are good these days and can do wonders!
If you stay really positive n the mind and Body , you will see just what it can do, so jump to it , and get back to square one ! Thats an Order! LOL.
Seriously though, i am sure you will fight this and be back with us on site in the near future.
In the meantime just go easy, do what you have to, and in time things will look better!
Take Care and a very Merry Xmas to you .
The New Year will bring you more Luck!
Cheers
