    I chat with George quite a bit and he's been suffering health problems for a while but particularly lately. I heard from him earlier today and he's asked me to let you all know he's rather unwell and has been in hospital for the past few days. He had hoped to get back home today but it seems he hasn't made as much progress as the medics had hoped.

    He's obviously got his phone or tablet with him in hospital and follows what's going on here. Now I don't know what U.S. hospitals are like but if ours in the U.K. are anything to go by, the days will be long and pretty boring. I'm sure George would appreciate hearing from his many mates here and that would help the time pass a little quicker. :thumbup:

    Cheers...

    I have heard @george mention his health conditions and his crowded basement in his previous posts.

    While in a hospitalbed George might want to have a picture of the vent regulator in my recent Optimus 1550 fettle. It has melted almost entirely. Maybe he can think of that instead of sickness for a while.

    Thanks to all. You're all real good, good friends!
    I have an infected bladder, how it came about, no one seems to know.
    I also have pneumonia in both lungs.
    What life!
    I enjoy talking with you all and wish I could meet all of you.
    I'll answer as many as I can, friends.

    George

    @george
    Hey mate, hospitals are full of sick people, so you had better get out there as quick as you can, you might catch something.
    Now, if want me to look after your lamps while you're on vacation, just let me know. I'm only glad to help ....... O:)

    Get well soon mate, make sure you're not sick in bed with the nurse ..... [-X ........ :lol:

    Cheers mate
    Pete
