Banger is not feeling very well at the moment so will not be posting his selections or the selections for Mitzi & McGinty until
he feels better. We all wish him well.

Yes, take it slowly Banger and don't do any more than you feel up to. We're all thinking of you.

Went to see him today. Difficult for him to walk about and gets out of breath very quickly but has a daughter
at home to help him. Still very cheerful and getting lots of visits every day from medical staff.

Glad you were able to visit him Kimmy, and hopefully that will have cheered him up a little.
I'm afraid I'm not in the best of heart at present as the mother-in-law died during the early hours this morning - not unexpected, and in a way a relief because she'd not enjoyed much quality of life in the past year or so. A timely reminded though that we're all getting older I guess.
Still, will add Banger to my prayers tonight.

Spoke to him the other day appeared a bit better. I think he might be back on the forum in the next week
or so. I hope so.
Kimmy.

Good news if he is Kimmy, as it'll give him a bit of a lift too!

Called to see Banger yesterday. Things about the same. Unable to get out of the house but getting home help. Having problems with his eyes cataracts which he hopes they that will be able to remove. Very difficult for him as he likes to read the newspaper but at the moment can only read the headlines. Wants to be remembered to you all. I told him members were thinking about him and hope to see him back on the forum soon.

Thanks for the update Kimmy. It can't be much fun being unable to read more than the headlines, as he mist feel rather cut off from the world. Hope they can do something about it for him and would love to see him back, unlikely as that sounds it may. Still, there's always a place in my heart for him.

I agree Old Timer. Known him a long time and of course all started on a racing forum. Nice when people keep in touch over the years.

I spoke to Bangers son tonight and the doctors think it was a heart attack. He is being kept in hospital for the time being for observation.

Visited Banger in hospital today. Not exectly chasing the nurses round the ward he left that to me but he was out of bed sitting in a chair, very cheerful and enjoying the food. Not known yet how long he will be in. Sends his best wishes to all.

Banger's daughter rang me today. He might be out of hospital Wednesday or Thursday. Its a shame this happened because Banger was hoping to get his cataracts sorted out Friday.

Yes Kimmy, pity they couldn't have sorted that out while he was there. Still, it's good to know he's on the mend enough to go home. Thinking of him, so pass on my best wishes.
