Many thanks Eric.

I let Eric do it to make sure it didn't come across as though it was something someone had done or said.
My ailment is not life threatening (unless boredom can be classed as life threatening), but super uncomfortable when I want to get from A to B or even stand up.
So because of changes to my medication in the very near future (next week), I will be no use to man nor beast for a while. When my abundant skin and bones get accustomed to it, I should be up and running again, but with a few reduced capabilities.
I will still be available to stick my nose in, and maybe answer a few posts, but please excuse me if they become rambling and meaningless.

I do like to stay in contact with people, so an email, PM, or even a skype call ( bandit175 ) will be much appreciated (please make sure it is only when available, you might wake me up while I am asleep at the keyboard otherwise), and as usual, visitors are always welcome, but you will have to take me as you find me, and you will have to pour your own coffee, rather than getting the waiter service you are accustomed to.
No sympathy or well wishing please, it will make me feel like I am on the exit ramp, rather than on the road to recovery.
Just keep smiling and get that humour going.

BTW, only 9 to go to another milestone.

And still no damned fluffy bunnies!!!!!
