Doctors Orders

2 Independent Doctors ( one being my own GP ) have told me to STOP working or I'll drop.

Life goes on .....

Well, in a lighter vein, that'll give you more time to enjoy your
beautiful scopes.

Look after yourself. I love being retired. Don't tell the company I work for that I said that.

Have you had a good run for your money Col, or has all this happened
much earlier than one would expect it to?

I have until this all happened ....I haven't worked since last November ( Doctors Orders ) until more tests were carried out....Stress Test / Xrays / Ultra Sound of my heart.....conclusion by 2 Doc's.

Pull up ....and stay alive ... or risk it all and ' fall of the perch '

My Grand Daughter needs her ' Poppy '

BTW ...I'm 61 this year....I still reckon this was all to soon for me.

Yes, earlier than one would expect. Take heart Col, a friend of mine who is
now in his later 70s had two major heart attacks 25 yrs ago, and since then
has had two triple bypasses, and is still with us, and can carry on a very
close to normal life.

I am sorry to hear of such problems.
I close to retire for health reasons you manage.
After I lefted the business two other agents I was friends with died from heart attack.
When I had mine I was not to busy to get that funny feeling checked out.
Living in a shed, and I did, was better than dead.
Look after yourself thats the only issue.
