Well, at least he's getting better....

I suspect he's not on a perma-ban on Facebook....
He's apparently being moved to Lancaster Hospital today, it's much closer to his home.
thanks everyone 🙂 I don't have the stamina to read that lot yet, and am currently learning how to walk in a a straight line again. As JC says, the most frustrating part is not being able eat whatever I like due to larynx damage after 2 weeks intubation 🙁
I am sure you will have time as you get back to full strength. Welcome back to STW. Great to see you back amongst the "hive".
Welcome back, Simon! So can we all start arguing now? 😉
good stuff SFB!
Tell them to put the pipe back and poor migimix'd steak&chips down your gullet, with a brandy chaser, natch.
Nice one Simon.
I'm seriously pleased you are on the mend.
Great to see you're back.
Kick on, fella.
Good on ya simon, when can we expect pics of the nurses arses?.....yeah...yeah.... i realise this is a sexist comment so feel free to post both male and female arses but if it's all the same to you i'll just pass comment on the female bottoms........
🙂

Fantastic. All the best to you.
Good to see you back Simon 🙂
I'm looking forward to Ton's invalid ride led by you Simon.
Bunnyhop x
Welcome back sfb
Stop whinging SFB, good to have you back young man.
So - does it take a heart attack to get a ban lifted? 😆
Best wishes on your road to a full recovery - glad to hear you're on the way back.
cheers

He was never given a permanent ban, he just sort of left the forum of his own accord a couple of years ago although he posted very occasionally on Lakeland ride topics.
Maybe the heart attack was brought on by stress of NOT arguing on here!
He's been active again on Facebook - moaning about hospital food. 🙂
🙂
Sort your grammar out Simon
Nice to see you back
Popped into see him today and he is in good spirits spoke briefly he has not much recollection of the incident. He is being released tomorrow 🙂
He is being released tomorrow
Well that's good news ! 🙂
Just checked in on this thread again. Bloody good to see you on here, posting of your own accord, sfb! I am delighted you are recovering so well. 8)
Asabove says, also just checked in on Simon's progress, fantastic news to hear his on the mend. Glad this thread has a happy ending. All the best on your recovery and hope you get back out on the trails soon.
Good to hear you're due to be let out today!
Any photos of nice nurse's arses to post from your stay?
What's this I hear, Mr Barnes? You've been trying to beat me across the River Styx? Fat chance 🙂
Try to Get. Well. Soon. I quite fancy making a comeback, and you were one of the few worth annoying.
cuterunner.
xxx.
😀
Good to see you posting SFB.
update: I'm out of hospital and crazy-legs dropped me off at my mum's last night. I expect to be home tomorrow evening. I can walk but very slowly after losing 2st. mostly from my upper legs. I'll enrol in the hospital cardiac recovery physio programme and hopefully by December I'll be allowed to ride my bike along the canal 🙂 The doctor's notes mention diffuse brain injury, but my memory seems to be intact and in fact my thirst reflex has actually been restored, where previously I'd only know I was dehydrated when I got a headache! OTOH I've lost my taste for chocolate and other very sweet things!
Amazing news Simon and sure your mother will feed you well so will soon get your weight back.
Wahey! He's back!!! Glad to hear you are back around. Remember, that loss of sweet taste is not a bad thing.
Good luck with the physical therapy too. Keep at it and good luck for your continued recovery.
thats great news, now just stay away from daytime tv!
Great news SFB. Good luck for a speedy recovery.
I was going to post to say I'd given him a lift to his Mum's house but thought it was better him saying that himself. 🙂
now just stay away from daytime tv!
He posted on FB earlier to say walked a whole mile down to Costa. Took him a while but it kept him away from daytime TV!
Here's to continued recovery.
I know you've probably done it already, but pin your Cardiologist to the wall and discover EXACTLY what caused your issues. They're often reluctant to go into detail, yet once you know the precise causes you can tailor your rehab to ensure the chances of a repeat are minimised.
Don't believe anything you're told. CHECK EVERYTHING yourself. The NHS is not what it was in my day.
Stay positive, keep smiling, hope to see you in the flesh one day 🙂

Great news, SFB, photos, please.
Good news SFB, heres to a steady recovery....
It's amazing how the body heals, both physically and mentally. Take it a step at a time but shouldn't be long before back riding. Fantastic to hear you're out of the hospital.
I hope the second mile, back up from Costa, went ok too. Keep climbing out of the hole, sfb.
Does typing on a keyboard count as exercise?
depends what you're typing with
I took the bus home 🙂 Too big a hill in my weakened state!
