Re: Awol
My blood pressure medication change didn't work in the right direction and I have just got home again today from hospital where I had the good fortune to meet up with my cardiologist of many years whom I thought had retired and is now attached to my local hospital. Over the last few days he has had tests carried out, medication adjusted accordingly and he has let me come home where I am 'sorely' needed. I will pass by frequently, but everything, and that includes doing my share around here, is taking much more time. Meanwhile, best wishes,

Re: Awol
Take care Richard I hope all goes well but I've noticed as I get older it takes longer every morning and every night to swallow all the pills

Re: Awol
Bill #23, meet them in the chemist. most of mine I have to visit the cemetery to see.
Richard, just take it easy, swallow the pills slowly and listen to the doc, no not ours, and do as he tells you.
I would also suggest you delegate some of your duties to the bosun, as skipper you should be allowed to.


Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: Awol
Thanks Shipmates, It's only the old ones know that the rattle as I pass by is the pills I swallow. John, I was the skippers tiger then and I haven't been promoted!

Thanks Keith,
Too much rust in the pipes - sea water must have got into the bilges.
