Fingers crossed. I've found a few people at home in recent years, and one trying to jump off a bridge
It definitely changes how you look at life

Here's a big man hug for you matey. Must have been a stressful event. It's good you found him when you did Lee. Got my fingers crossed for your mate too.
I take Ma a paper every morning and check she's doing ok and I allus worry when the lights not on or the doors locked and she's fast asleep in the chair and not responding when I call her. Even though I know she sleeps at will these days.

Hope he pulls through.
A good riding buddy of mine had a minor stroke just over a year ago. He seems to be coping OK with daily life, although he's not as mobile as he was. Whenever we talk I'm amazed by how well he seems to be coping with the limitations of what he can now do. Conversations are difficult as I don't want to talk bikes too much, and I will find it hard to go see him while on a bike. He won't be riding again and I know how much that will be hurting him as he loved it so much.
Getting old's a bitch.
The best thing about being old is we did all our stupid stuff before the Internet was invented, so there’s no proof.

They joined his middle name together with his surname on the form and couldn't find him. Well he hasn't walked out of hospital has he ?
