Enforced FS Break (again) :-(

Featured Replies

Hey guys
I have to take a very long break from FS.  Well, a long break from pretty much everything really.  It seems my tumour has re immerged, and I’m going in for emergency brain surgery yet again.  There can’t be that much of it left for **** sake. Can’t say I’m looking forward to it.  That’s twice now they’ve said it’s no longer operable, and twice they’ve changed their minds;-) Mmmmmm…..
 
This all started after our middle eastern friends left me with a tiny piece of shrapnel just behind the ear, but as ever, good old HM services won’t have it that way, as the docs can’t state categorically that’s what started it. OK, off my soap box;-)
 
Going in later today, so my account may appear inactive for a good few months, but I am err….. hoping to return;-)
 
If last time is anything to go by, I’ll have wifi in the hospital;-)
 
I wonder what wonderful sales and releases I’ll miss over the next few months.
 
I hope to return to find at least a stunning DC3, DC6, B747 ….etc ;-)

Phil, I read your post at SOH also, but will express my condolences and pledge of prayers for your recovery here, since here is where I am now anyway. :Cuppa:

All the best, Phil..and thank you for serving! Sometimes it's shocking how our vets get treated, despite signing up for Queen & Country with the possibility of going in harm's way.
