Well that's me just back from hospital, spent the weekend there. Not feeling too good all Saturday & ach I'll be ok I'm telling the family. My daughter who is a nurse had other ideas when she saw me.In hospital & right enough the pain is getting bad, really bad, turns out I've a blood clot in the lung... shocked Not good, can't believe how things could've been if left. So back home now medication lifestyle changes etc. Things did take a funny turn when I blurted out that I might not see the Coop again! the family all looked at each other & said you & your beloved Coop...Don't worry we would sort things out..


I'm an old git & happy with it,most of the time

I'm glad your daughter made you go to the hospital and hopefully, you'll feel better soon.

Make sure you make those lifestyle changes too, you need to be in Carlisle in a few months laugh

First of all, thankyou all that have taken the time to respond to this. Part selfish/venting off steam & part sharing my view to forum members on here that have a sad story to tell has prompted me to discuss this, whatever happens, you have to grab life by the short & curlies while you can. And in the background our love for the Coop.

Aye the wife & I are very proud of our Daughter, for various reasons, not least her help with our son who turned 38. He is a very special young man & requires looking after round the clock. We have been in the throws for some years now in the process securing him his own house & a team around him. It's bitter sweet that we were informed that a house will be built locally & things are actually going ahead.

I've always tried to look at the brighter side of life & in many ways I'm selfish on how I handle/cope with bad news. I could prattle on but through it all in a Hospital bed pumped up with various drugs, monitored with all sorts of wires, the family all around the bed etc, kinda gives you a boot up the arse & to tell you the truth I was crapping myself at this time. I'm still here to tell the tale so onwards & upwards.

Just remember, keep ticking off that bucket list of yours, life is just too short. Thanks for listening Jim..... type

Glad you're ok Jim. Sounds like medication and a few lifestyle changes will ensure you stick around for a long time to come and that includes driving the coupe again!

Take care and chin up!

Take care of yourself Jimboy. Had a hospital scare a year or so ago. Luckily it was a false alarm but boy did it make me think long and hard about my lifestyle and bad habits. Even with that though I still drink too much frown

Ah, such is the erudition to be encountered here bow

Question is, does that affect this forum or does the forum stimulate it, as has been raised by C2D in another thread.....

Thanks again everyone. You know what! It's the simple things/pleasures in life that we all take for granted eh? Just been out to our fishman van & purchased well obviously fish laugh but among the fishy delights I've indulged myself a pair of kippers yum The smell will linger I know, Mrs Jimboy will not be happy with the cooking smell, ach that's another thing I'll have to deal with.. blabla

Much bad news of late, I really do help you are on the mend.
A big scare can very much make you re-think your life choices and really does bring in to focus what is really important. Its not a bad thing that some of us get to have that with no really bad side effects going forwards.

It is really easy however to let time soften the impact and dilute the assurances we make to our self's.
Don't let that happen, don't slip.

Move forwards, and up, and do look back.
