Mac is fragile.

Post by mac » 20 Jan 2013 01:19 pm

Just to let everybody know.

To add to my health issues I was taken into hospital by amby. On Friday with some sot of TIA or mini stroke, after a lot of test they think it was either a BP crash (for reasons unknown) or my blood sugar (I'm a type 2) which was high mimicking a TIA. They don't really know.

All of this has happened at the worst possible time of course. I am at home now but am under enforced rest whilst my GP arranges further tests. Unfortunately I will be "offline" for at least a while. Greatly sorry but I really have no choice.

Hi Mac,

very sorry to hear that.

You need that forced rest so take it easy for a while and rebuild your strength. Hope you are back in action soon but make sure you do not over do things!
