Re: kong is still alive.
Hi Capt
Well good to hear that you are at least still with us , it as i have said must be something terrible to have to go through all that pain and not be able to do anything, after the very Active life you have lived, its heartbreaking mate!
All one can say is let us hope that they can come up with some solution, and find out what the problem is!
It is very strange that it is taking so long to find out though!
So as said hang in there, you are a strong one mate ,and i know that you will fight this untill something is found to cure the situation!
All the very best and love to daer Anne. Must be hard for her too seeing you like this!
Cheers

Re: kong is still alive.
Hi Brian
The very best of luck mate and I hope they find what is wrong as soon as possible. If you had Covid it could be an offshoot, there are funny things happening to people who got it.
Hope they find the cause.
Cheers Des

Re: kong is still alive.
Brian mate, you are still breathing, a good start.
Hang in there you have been in trouble before and always come up smelling the roses.
Medical science is great now, just takes time.
I hope Ann is looking after you as well as possible.


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
