Re: laid up no joke
I was like that when I returned from Hong Kong a few weeks ago, coughing my lungs up for three weeks
.
Just got over it, now I have go in hospital at 7 am in the morning for an operation on my Larynx [voice box.] full anaesthetic,
Last time in December they knocked out one of my teeth pulling the metal tubes out of my throat. Hope they wake me up.
Cheers

Re: laid up no joke
I wont go into my Life happenings here Lads
But like many of you I too have had and seen some bad things and had some really bad experiences,hardships etc!
I take it as all par for the course!
Now not saying that some may have needed some sort of Counceling,but just for me,well there was none of that,and I came out on Top!
No reflection at all on anyone or any hardships!
Cheers
