Richard Quatermaine

[Doc Vernon]

Hi to All
I received a call from Richards Wife Margaret Today,to tell me that Richard is in Hospital in Katoomba!
I promply phoned the Hospital and managed to talk with Richard!
At present he is in the Observation Ward awaiting tests to see exactly what is wrong!
Cant say too much now,but he was Bleeding internally from the Stomach!
I hope to go and visit him possibly To-Morrow,so may have more news after that!
So those who know Richard,if there are any messages i will convey them for you!
Thanks for reading
Doc Vernon

Hi Doc Vernon,

Sorry to hear about Richard. Had been wondering, of late, why we had not heard from him for such a long time. We have never met, but, nevertheless, when you see him please give him my sincerest wishes for an early recovery.

I went down to Katoomba Hospital early Today (9am) to see Richard,but when i got there he had allready once again been transferred to Nepean Hospital!
Apparently he was again bleeding very badly this Morning,the reason he was rushed down to Penrith!
After i left the Hospital i popped in at his House to see Margaret his Wife,and she also told me that this Morning she was talking to him at Nepaen on the Phone,and he was then still bleeding badly!
Doesnt sound too good poor old Richard!
I will keep all informed when i hear anymore!
I printed the good wishes from the site and took them with me,however then left the Printout with Margaret!
She will pass it on to him!
Cheers

Phoned Richards Wife This Evening,and they have now found that he had a bad bleeding Ulcer on the Lower Bowel!
Went into Surgery,and had the Ulcer quaterised (hopefully that will now heal) stopped the Bleeding and he is now in recovery!
At this stage he may go home on Tuesday or Wed,but depends how things heal!
He thanks all for your wishes etc!
Cheers

I see from the site stats that it is Richard's 81st birthday today (Sun 26th). Lousy way to spend it. Good to hear that they have found and hopefully now solved the problem. Get well soon Richard.

[Doc Vernon]

Thank you for the wishes again,and will pass on!
Yes was his Birthday on Sunday and i had sent him a nice Card made up with his First Ship etc,he was thrilled at it!
Will let you know when he is home! Lets hope its soon!
Cheers

PS Thanks for wishes to us too Jean! Love to you! Vernon and Irene xxx

Well Richard is now at Home,they have stopped the Bleeding with quaterisation of the Ulcer and he is resting!
Spoke with him last Night!
In a Month or so he will go back for a check,and at some time later he will more than likely have to have a part of the Bowel removed!
But for now he is in good spitits!
He sends thanks to all who have responded and others as well! Some may have read and not replied !
Cheers
