    I was out for a couple of days

    Last week, at this time, I was in ICU at the local Newburyport Hospital. Seems like I had a heart attack. They kept me there for a couple of days and then sent me to the ward. I ended up with 3 IV drips hanging off of me. Finally they sent me up to Portsmouth, NH Hospital where the roto router man ran a rod up my groin into my heart. I guess he didn't find anything of interest so they sent me home.
    Just in case my two fans out there missed me.
    Would you like to ride in my big green tractor?.

    I've actually been wondering about you. Haven't heard from you in a while.
    Glad to hear your still kicking there Sir! Welcome back! :salute:

    Holy Cow!

    You describe the event like ya went out & got a cheeseburger!
    I'm glad to hear that you are okay...but I have to say the bit about the rod up the groin probably won't be conducive to good sleep later! :isadizzy:

    Take care sir, we want you around for a long time! :salute:
    Regards,

    Glad you're better.

    Make that three fans, because I had actually wondered where you'd disappeared to.

    Geez, Bob, take it easy over there! I know you New Englanders are tough, but getting a rod shoved up your groin just for fun is taking things a little too far.

    Hope you're doing better now, you old codger. :salute:

    Hey Helldiver,
    Glad to hear you're OK buddy.
    Sounds like they put you in for a grease and oil change while you were there.

    Cheers :ernae:

    I must be one of your two fans. Cause I have missed your posts done in your unique style. You offer a perspective on life and flight simming that none of us can offer. I find it both valuable and entertaining.

    I :salute: you Sir.

    Dang it HD, I was about to drop a thread in here a few days ago to check on your whereabouts!

    Well, it's tough to hear what caused you to be off the boards, but it's damn good to hear it from the horse's mouth!

    Hope you're up to flying condition now, but do take care, I'd have to say you got more than a few fans wandering the metropolitan regions of the Outhouse! :ernae:

    good to see you back Helldiver, it's safe to say quite a few of us were worried about ya's :ernae:

    Well if the English meaning carries OK...At least is should be easier for you to 'take the piss' out of your fellow simmers. :salute:

    Glad to hear you're still kicking Bob, just aim them at doctors with rods in future.
    Cheers,

    Hey Bob, I'm glad your back. Although it didn't sound very good, but as long as they can still repair you there isn't a real problem

    Cheers,
    Huub
