Alex Needs Our Support, Still

Folks I had a message from Alex this morning, he is back in hospital, due to kidney failure. He is very weak, and unable to do anything astro wise (despite finally receiving his HA filter), he still reads IIS but is not up to posting.. Please keep Alex in your thoughts and send him positive support from the IIS community. Glen

Thanks Glen but mustered some strength and posted a question for Mike.
I tell you being able to follow the chat here helps me more than anyone can know.
Thanks.
Alex

Best wishes Alex. Missing your posts that are often thought provoking, often humerous, and usually both at once

. Hope you get well soon.
Cheers, Richard

Alex,

I am still looking forward to our glass or two of beer.. when this covid situation changes :-)

xelasnave · #20 14-09-2021, 07:47 AM

Thank you all most sincerely...it is getting hard to go on to be honest and coming here represents most of all I have to look forward to...was expecting a visit yesterday from my Ex ( best Ex on the planet, my carer without whom I would be dead for sure) and my daughter, my youngest scientific and an absolute pride over the older "alternate medicine " older one who I would happily disown...but the hospital doors were closed to all but family whose loved ones were dying..so no visit..they only fond out at the door, so called me, so close but so far...how I missed that visit..I was crushed to be honest...but came here to IIS and was really picked up ... had a few tears actually cause I was just so down...so thank you all.
But I am getting better, two scans yesterday, kidneys are good, and I am eating some solid food, first in months...Funny story ..the guy in the next bed was having a massive heart attack, nurses came from every where ..mustta been 7, bumping my bed keeping me awake...the patient is screaming in agony, I mean screaming...so the "head" nurse asks him in a very demanding authoritive voice "Dxxxxx are you in any pain?"..I nearly yelled out " no, he is laughing at your comedy act"...

But after 20 minutes later the concensus was to call the doctor...I guess I am strange but I thought it was all rather funny...and I say that cause the guy survived.

Leon...matey may or may not have posted lap top..cant bother him..poor devil just found out his brother has about four weeks ..brain cancer...anyways we shall refer to Alice.
Bojan I really would like some time together.

Alex
