I talked to John yesterday, he sounded much better then in previous conversations when he could barely whisper. Yesterday his voice was stronger, still not his old self but much better. Having said that after about 5 minutes he was tiring and I let him get some rest.

He told me it would likely be a few more weeks before he would be out of hospital. He is still connected to machinery and drips and the Docs still have a few treatments to try on him.

Once he is discharged and, if not being medivaced back to Canberra (hopefully not required),  he will probably benefit from a couple of days on the ground in Perth before flying back home.

He is in a "normal" ward and can take visitors, so if you have some spare time and are happy to go see him, I'm sure he would appreciate your company. Maybe a call beforehand to Fiona Stanley 08 6152 2222 enquire about John Nagle.

I will be visiting this afternoon, I will take the Tablet (Samsung type) with me an if permitted, I will let him see this page, maybe even get him to make a post.

Definitely ring before you visit, as he could be sleeping.

Today is Family and Community day public holiday in ACT. A most appropriate day to visit John in hospital.
Many thanks, Brock.

John is getting stronger, not hooked up to as many machines now. He still gets tired quickly, so the visit didnt last long.

John hopes to move to another ward in another week or so.

Just returned from a quick visit with John.
He is now in a general ward (4D) and is no longer connected to any fancy machines.
Looking and talking better than when I saw him on Tuesday.

I have sad news.
Saaz (John) has been transferred to palliative care and is off life support. I understand that this was John’s decision. He is not expected to be with us for much longer.
I intend flying to Perth tomorrow to assist in arrangements for his return to Canberra once he has passed.
I hope to be able to talk to John but if not, I know he would want to thank everyone for their solid support during his hospitalisation.

That is such sad news, and I have no words.  We had all hoped that he would recover, to ride with us again.   It's a brave decision for John to make, and those of us with a faith may take comfort from the knowledge that he'll be kept safe as he passes.

Tragic news, devastating . . John has been my riding partner for ten years . . I am feeling very down at the thought of losing him . . I know he is a fatalist and I understand John's decision fully, but I am deeply saddened . .

Lionel pls tell him I will miss him immensely  . . I am blabbering but I am lost . .
