Barry/Balsabasher informs his special friends that he suffered an heart attack last wednesday and has been in hospital receiving treatment,the incident was sudden and happened whilst cutting his front lawn with a petrol strimmer,a sharp pain across the chest followed by discomfort for several hours.
He is to receive further specialised treatment soon and wants everyone to know that he is in fine spirit despite the ordeal and slowly mending,a medically controlled very hard spell on a treadmill today showed that his heart despite some damage is functioning and he was released from hospital but will return back for more treatment.
During his stay his mind was kept alert by doing pencil drawings of pictures of aircraft to show the nurses and doctors ! some of these pictures now adorn the hospital including one showing the construction for a solid model.
He is in good spirits and is looking towards a full recovery soon but is having a well earned rest for the time being, and as can be expected not available to answer to every personal message he has received but wants to thank everyone.
This has been sent on behalf of the one and only Balsabasher.
Please pass on to Barry that my prayers are with him and that I wish him a speedy and complete recovery. I just finished dedicating a project to him just yesterday and now find that has been taken ill. Tell him he is very much missed on the site and I look forward to hearing from him directly.
