Dale had surgery yesterday morning Oct 9th for faulty check valves in his leg veins and the opened up his legs from crotch to ankle and repaired them I guess. He is recuperating at home. Just don't make him laugh as it is painful for him.

Thank's for the " update " Jr .. and as the man said " no laughin' cos it hurts "

Dale, Mate, glad you on the recovery. Hard to type without tryin to make a funny so will just say that you and the family are in my prayers. Be well.
Don't forget to smile though. That don't hurt.

Now then Blue!
Don't fret I'm not gonna rip the 'mick' or owt (as tempting as it may be ) just want to add my own best wishes for a speedy recovery (even though we's already talked and I know you ain't exactly dying) If you aren't back on your feet and kicking buttock in short order I'll have to come back down there and nick your doonah!

Seriously though, take it easy mate, hobble first, then walk, then run okay?

Choper sorry to hear of the leg problems, but now that the "fix" is installed, take things slow till it mends properly. Another couple days of not lifting, running etc on this end will mean you CAN do that type stuff later.

Well mate, the saying is "You can't keep a good man down", and since you qualify for that you should bounce back in no time. All the best mate.
