Hi All,

Recently, you may have noticed that I have not been on the forum as much as usual.

Unfotunately I was diagnosed with a brain tumour early last Novenber and that is still under investigation. Just to make things worse, two weeks ago I suffered a stroke (not connected to the tumour). So things are a bit difficult at the moment as I have lost the right side vision in both eyes.

Thankfully, everything else appears to be functioning normally, although everything is very tiring.

For now I leave you in the very good hands of the Forum Support Team whilst I try to make the best and fastest recovery possible.

Regards

HI Derek,

So very sorry to hear this news, both Dawn and myself wish you well and a very speedy recovery, when this happens it is a shock to the body so plenty of rest and as much modelling
as possible.

Regards

Trevor and Dawn

Hi Derek, sorry to hear that. My mum had a stroke quite recently & it took a bit of time for her to get back to normality but she's a lot better now. I hope you feel better soon. Stuart.

I’m sure we all on the forum here wish you a speedy recovery Derek. I know you will be chomping at the bit to get back to normal, but these things take time. We are all looking forward to seeing you back here taking up the helm again soon.
All the best.
Mark
