[norbs]

Heal quick mate.

[Jamo]

You never said how the bird faired and the all important question. Was she a good sort?

Sounds bloody nasty mate, but I smell possible underlying condition here. You might have caught something early.

[Vilante]

Good luck mate.

[Swain OHaw]

Hope you're all okay and back out and about soon ... good luck with the recovery.

(My brother was initially thought to have DVT but later diagnosed with "Thick Blood Syndrome" ... one of those literal medical conditions ... he always had great stamina, so in a way it was like a natural version of EPO.)

That doesn't sound good mate . Hope you get it sorted out and back on the bike soon . Get well , take care .
