As others have said Braders, hope you make a speedy recovery
And like mentioned, life is fragile and can change in seconds, though I was invincible until I once wrote my motorbike off, on reflection it certainly makes you appreciate what life is about and enforces the reasons to enjoy it. Get well soon mate

Did i sense animosity when DF mentioned Hamidi not sorting out the suncream stuff?
Hope you make a swift recovery bradders.
Strokes are viewed in a weird way by a lot of people in this country. In that they are seen as an older person's problem. Like dementia etc. We don't look at a lot of other illnesses like that. We've just seen a super fit footballer have a cardiac arrest in his thirties and although shocking no one has said to me “ that's young to have a heart attack “ or “that's young to have cancer”. This age related thing around stokes needs busting so that the signs aren't missed in younger people. My wife had two stokes when she was 21 years old.
Sounds like you've been lucky. Make sure you follow all the advice they give you. We can't have you going anywhere. We need someone to take the piss out of on here.

On blood thinners and blood pressure tablets still don't know the cause yet as blood tests have not shown anything.A 19 year old girl had a major stroke in the hospital at time I was there and she lost movement and speech but the hospital are confident they will get her back to normal.The medication and treatment for strokes now compared to only a few years ago is amazing.I will stick around just for your entertainment

Though during covid NHS have had to council non life threatening procedures I can only praise the NHS and it's staff for the efficient way they have helped me this year. I was unfortunate enough to have been diagnosed with cancer on the 4th of January ( a small lump on my neck turned out to be a largish tumour please have any lumps checked out!). I underwent a seven hour surgery on the 18th January spending five days in hospital and four months at home recovering, I went for my six months check up today and received positive news but will be monitored for the next five years. The staff and the NHS have been fantastic through this traumatic period of my and my families life certainly not “second class”. The last few weeks before spawning I managed to do a few overnight sessions and even fluked a couple of mid thirties and several twenties.
NHS 💙💙💙

Sorry to hear you've been poorly. Hope you get on the mend ASAP. Just in time for the new season. I think from memory you've got the same ticket as me. If that's the case and you need a hand with your gear, give me a shout and I will happily get it round to a swim if you need a hand.
Just don't pick the one that's furthest from the car park or you're on your own :-)

Glad you have had good news and everything went well.All the NHS staff I have had look after me during all my tests,scans etc... have been absolutely amazing.I decided take part in a clinical trial and have had bloods sent off to Denmark to try and help with strokes in younger people,if me doing that even helps one person in the future then me suffering a stroke has not been for nothing
