    Never met him either, but shocking news. Best wishes from me to him, get well soon x

    And massive respect to the people who did CPR on him. I really hope that I can do that, should I be in that situation ever. I’ve had training, but query if I could do it in practice.

    Just give him a camera, and the primal urge to take pictures of nurses bottoms will pull him through.

    Latest update from his son James on fb:

    I’m afraid dad is back on oxygen, they are doing what they can to manage his lungs, they have put him on his front again to help him breathe and get his stats up. He’s been put on some more broad spectrum antibiotics but he’s also back on sedation and noradrenaline. One of the boggies was his doctor today

    Do not go gentle into that good night,
    Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
    Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

    Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
    Because their words had forked no lightning they
    Do not go gentle into that good night.

    Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
    Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
    Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

    Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
    And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
    Do not go gentle into that good night.

    Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
    Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
    Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

    And you, my father, there on that sad height,
    Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
    Do not go gentle into that good night.
    Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

    Fight it, SFB. Fight it. Don’t let it win. Fight.

    you know what he is like, he will just be dragging out the argument with death for his own pleasure.

    Glad he appears to be pulling through though and healing vibes

    Eeek – just imagine waking up in hospital, and seeing one of your bike buddies, wearing a white coat and stethoscope 😯 . No wonder he’s ‘confused’ and needs ‘sedation’

    (Best wishes for a full recovery, Simon)

    Do watch the Vinny Jones vid that clareymorris linked to earlier. Then if this ever happens on a ride you’re on, you’ll know what to do.
    Because some people knew what to do, SFB is alive. Well done.
    Oh yes…and calling the ambulance is the first and best thing you can do.

    Likewise that St Johns Ambulance app posted earlier is well worth a look. Install and browse through as a reminder (rather than just relying on it when the time comes). I remember bits from doing CPR in Scouts (Cub Scouts in fact) but that was a *very* long time ago.

    Once again healing vibes.

    Ok, so who’s bum gave him the heart attack? We must see pictures!

    I don’t think I ever agreed with sfb on anything but seeing as the bog trotters are such a large group must prove he’s a decent bloke I’m real life™

    Best wishes and well done to your fellow riders!

    Thoughts are with the whole SFB clan, and hats off to those who were the right people, in the right place, at the right time. Awesome!

    Get well soon.

    Simons brother has this evening reported that he’s moving wards again for infection control purposes. He is still sedated but his breathing is improving, although he’s not yet off the ventilator.

    He’s still got a long way to go, but ‘stubborn Simon’ is hanging in there.

    Houns – I know that Simon will be reading this thread in a few weeks, and will no doubt in the first instance be overwhelmed by the messages of support, but will then feel depressed as he thought he’d previously managed to upset, antagonise and generally deter the entire online community, just because he can 🙂

    I met him in person before experiencing him online, and its no coincidence that me, and everybody else who meets him this way, realise what an outstanding, admirable person he is, before sitting back with a wry smile watching him argue his way through thread after thread, playing with those who bite like a cat with a piece of string. 😆

    Incredible performance from those that administered the CPR – really quite something. Very sad to hear the news and wish Simon well and a strong recovery.

    I rarely, if ever, agreed with you Simon but best wishes to you and your family for the now, I particularly liked the previous comment about you being currently engaged in an argument with Death, and in the future when youre back with us Im particularly looking forward to your thoughts on the “might I suggest a bell” thread 🙂
