[HOTFR8]

Just had a heads up from 1/2 Cup. Sounds like he is being forced to have a break.
From the activity in this topic it may be a good thing he has a rest even if it is on terms none of us would like.

1/2.. Take care Mate.

 

[CoopVA]

Get well soon Steve... will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers...

 

[ajohno]

Get well Steve. Hope all goes well.

 

[dlcwent]

You know we're all here with our prayers and well wishes. I hope you have a speedy recovery Steve.

 

[Terrick down Under]

Hey 1/2, did the quack say anything about physio before the op? That little plastic unit with the 5 blue balls, they made me **** on that thing for days after laying in hospital for 3 weeks.
Think good thoughts and ours will come flooding in to you. Get well soon!

 

[jbmatth]

1/2, I'm sorry to hear the news on the collapsed lung, and wishing you a speedy recovery. If you want to save some money on the medical bills you could just turn the air compressor on and inflate that lung in no time. On second though better just leave that to the professionals and their tools.

[walt111]

So sorry to hear of your medical problems1/2. Just take it easy and follow the quacks advise, they allegedly know best but there sign hanging outside reads PRACTICING medicine. My get well quick wave to you.

[aussiesteve]

take care, rest and recover. You will be back on board before you know it Cheers

 

[bolensboneyard]

Steve you can't miss wrapped in prayers from around the world! Be well! Bobby

 

[rmalkow2]

Same as above 1/2Cup. Get well soon.

 

[oldironfarmer]

Not surprising, your lungs are 1/2 collapsed.

That's just no fun at all.

You know you're getting prayers from Oklahoma. And when we add the other countries around the globe I think we've got you covered 24 hours per day. The sun never sets on Garage Journal friendship, or something like that.

 

[Finallygotit]

1/2, so sorry to hear about your lung. Get well soon and get some much needed QST.

 

[03.]

Sorry to hear about the lung Steve, wishing you a speedy recovery mate. Might be an idea to head north where it is a bit warmer while you get over it. Even we have had a couple of chilly nights down to around 10 degrees this year. Brrrrr

 

[Bob Heine]

Steve, thank you for setting an example. It seems that people (especially men) who are good at fixing and building things rarely ask for help with those jobs. That "I can do this" attitude carries over to their health. You could have ignored the pain and symptoms and just "walked it off." I'm so glad you didn't and sought professional help.

My father died "walking it off."

 

[HOTFR8]

I hope to check in with 1/2's better half later today for an update.

I've been to collapsed lung (as part of my op - it's standard procedure after they broke 2 ribs to get access from the back), and getting better from it is a slow process. But I agree with Rick (above) that they'll give you one of those contraptions you blow into hard to get all the balls into the top of their tubes. It's a pain! I've still got one if you want it....

Get well soon big fella.

Good to see you getting good support from here.

Watching on with baited breath...... (oooh - did I just say that)

 

[Guster]

Sheesh 1/2Cup! Sorry to hear you've been under the weather and hoping for a speedy and full recovery.

So over this weather right now but it is just one month till spring now. Take it easy and keep warm in the meantime!

 

[Lwel9226]

1/2 Cup....
Wish you a speedy recovery and say a prayer... or 2, for your improving health....

[don long]

Wow 1/2 cup
It's my turn to return the get well wishes.
While I was on the cruise ship and coughing a bit I struggled to get out of my chair and next to me there was an older man struggling to get up too
We looked at each other and smiled then he said "getting old ain't for sissies is it"
There are a lot of tough old guys around here that's for sure and you are one of them
I believe that prayers do work and You will be remembered in mine tonite
Take care and I'll check in on you later.

Don

 

[HOTFR8]

At this point in time no news is good news. I hope to hear from 1/2 Cups better half soon.

 

[Andrew-357]

Dear All,
Dad is doing well had a busy day getting more tests done in good hands, no further info is as hand but I'm sure when he can get online tomorrow he will fill in all the details.

 

[ajohno]

Thanks Andrew.

 

[oldironfarmer]

Andrew: Has this interrupted your granddad's move? That was putting some stress on Steve.

 

[HOTFR8]

Good Stuff to read Andrew. I did phone earlier.

 

[Bears Fan]

Get well soon and best wishes! Tell Mrs 1/2 she needs to be attentive to your needs

 

[Craptain]

Geez. I am out of touch for a day and you go getting sick. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. I had a collapsed lung as a kid and it was no fun. The good news is that a full recovery is the norm. Though you won't need "full" recovery to get back to playing, just keep it light and let nature (and modern medicine) do her work.

Sorry to hear about the lung mate. All the best for the op and recovery, wishing you all the best.

 

[Andrew-357]

Dad seems to be doing well , the doc was in Melbourne today however the 2ic was extremely helpful. No more news as yet but I'll be swing past tomorrow to give dad some decent stuff to read.

 

[ajohno]

Thanks Andrew.

 

[xtremek]

HOTFR8, thanks for being GJ's personal representative during this time.

Andrew, I know I'm among many who appreciate your updates on your dad's condition. I know you're conveying our prayers to your mom and dad. Get better soon Steve, you are truly missed.

 

[metalhead140]

Sorry to hear about the lung, glad you're getting it sorted. Thinking of you mate.

 

[bj383ss]

Prayers sent your way from Texas!

[octane_matty]

Get well soon 1/2 cup! Take it easy for a while!

 

[shortykorte]

Thanks Andrew.

 

[dchance]

Sorry about the news about you lung. Looking forward to when you get to feeling better and are well. I enjoy you posts.

[bolensboneyard]

Thanks Andrew! Stand tall!

 

[Joe-R]

Get well soon 1/2 Cup!!!

[HOTFR8]

1/2Cup sent me a PM last night. All is sounding good but he will be out of action for a little time yet. His access here is not perfect but I take it he has read many of the comments. Sounds like he has all the Nurses running after him. So he is in good hands.

I had hoped to post this earlier but I am partly out of action as well. My Dad is in hospital with Viral Pneumonia and sadly he caught it from me. I was lucky enough to get over it quickly but the after affect of pink eye has pretty well left me wanting to stay away from light.

 

[oldironfarmer]

Seems like GJ Australia are having a rough winter.

1/2 Cup: I had to buy more lights today

 

[Redwolf947]

Get well soon 1/2.. Prayers for you..
