Thanks for all your kind words  so far chaps , means a lot to me,
I do drink yes, too much I suspect , but thats just one of the possible reasons I'm in this position , I have also just been stuck on another med to lower my cholesterol so it also comes to mind that my diet needs looking at , I gave up the tobacco 12 months ago and moved onto the  E cigs going well on those , so thats a step in the right direction at least.
As for the stroke its self , what I had was by no means as bad as some get , I didnt have the full monty like you see on the telly with the dropped face and that , but its still a kick when the doc says you've had one , I sort of found myself looking beehind me to see who the doc was talking to , cos it couldn't have been me could it ...........?

Sometimes, it takes a 'kick in the arse' like this to make us re-evaluate how we're living.  I'm in recovery for alcoholism and it's very common to hear people like me say that the bad stuff that happens to us, actually turns out to be a blessing in disguise.

Hope you recovery quickly, mate.  Then you can join us in the 'Jogging post' in the off-topic area.

it could be worse richy you could be out working with fat man master bates

[rick trinder]

if i can help. i will. i have sent you an email.

[P @ F]

Hi Rick , just picked up the mail and replied , you do understand though that if you cover any of the work for me you will have to paint your van pink 

Cheers mate, Rich

[Richard ham]

I think he wants to drive yours, haha:-)

[matty72]

Good luck mate, see if someone can help with your work, if not write a letter explaining to all customers the situation and that yon need some time, concentrate on getting better and use the time to think of the future, good luck.

[Richard ham]

Any developments?? 

[P @ F]

Well im back out , got more holes in me than a pin cushion , but i am alive for now !
Thanks to all for the support along the way , was much needed.

The plan now.......take it easy , have started to sort through the round ,binning the fools,slow payers,dog poopers ,underpriced , awkward , large commercial .

I suppose i am lucky in a way as i have enough work to be able to be as picky , im looking at doing 4 hours a day now with max return , im only stuck as what to do with the un needed stuff , could sell it , but if its not as good as it could or should be then nobody will want to pay for it , so is it worth the agro to me , then again lots of wc's could be finding it hard to even find work so it could be a blessing to a newbie even at 1x .

Anyway .... so what is actually wrong with me , i have the blood clot on the brain , and it has been discovered that the stoke was due to a genetic heart problem that has been overlooked for the past 42 years !
So , as i say , take it easy and wait for the next round of scans and tests at the end of the month , cheers for now chaps

he was before he went in  hospital food and all that 

[Richard ham]

Good to see you today Rich, I think you are doing the right thing. Take the cream. Put up your prices on the other and I think you got it cracked. I will take the poop commercial off you as my misses loves chasing people for money, you did see her eyes light up when she said about chasing payments, haha, . Glad to see you still alive and thinking about window cleaning still.

Now your spiderman, ditch those ladders once and for all. Your van will fit in the drive through car wash like mine then. Imo you gotta love it. Triple foam and a good drying too. 

If you need anything you know where we are.

[Dave Willis]

Rich, what were the symptoms you had may I ask?

[P @ F]

Hi Dave , the syptoms where as when you get up too fast . dizzy,headache, no balance , hearing went to pot , total and utter confusion , no attention span for anything .

Total space cadet feeling !
