Hi Everyone,

I just got word from Kev (SKIP) that he had suffered a heart attack and has been rushed to Prince Charles Hospital where went straight from the ambulance to the chopping block!

Kev said that there was NO warning, and NO history of this in his fam.

He is in recovery now and will post up his progress sometime next week when able.

In the meantime, once again, we all wish you a speedy recovery, and simply holler if you need anything mate.

Cheers, Diesel

Bloody Hell! hope he is going to be ok, at least everything sounds positive and on the improve

Get well soon there Kev, so does this mean you have more then one ST-ent's now

Biggles · « **Reply #3 on:** April 25, 2013, 01:40:54 PM »

Looks like we're wearing out faster than our motorbikes!!
As Streak says, sounds like he's on the mend. Good for the engine to get maintenance, but preferably scheduled.
We'll keep an eye on you, Skip.

Good luck Skip,

Mate, I had a heart attack out of the blue last September, and if you survive, it is a wake up call to your lifestyle and as good as anything guide to what u should be doing to live many years longer. Made me think that I have to do the things that I took for granted as a kid, ie, exercise in a variety of ways.

Hope all goes well for you.

Get better Skip. Its those sudden conditions that can get you, but hopefully this is just a warning.

Best wishes with recovery Skip, take it all easy and take time to mend

RexJ · « **Reply #7 on:** April 25, 2013, 05:42:08 PM »

Thoughts are for you Kev. Just been through the recovery period myself.

Keep the chin up and attack each day as a new experience - which it will be, trust me.

Once you get into the swing of the get over it dance, life's back to OK.

(AND you'll live to ride another day!!)

You know Skip that though we may have not met (yet) I wish you all the best.
Guess that's how this group works and maybe why some of us like it as much as we do.
A bit like the "Borg" on Star Trek.
Come on Star Trek fans, elaborate

Just got back from visiting Skip. He's been offered Parole tomorrow for "good behaviour" but the Parole Board have yet to confirm that.
He had a "spell" while mowing the lawn and went inside and sat down. When things didn't improve (heaviness in the chest) he was wheeled in and they found one artery 100% blocked. So now he has one STent and one ST13.
I took the list of members who had sent their good wishes so you are assured he knows y'all care.
If he doesn't get a leave ticket tomorrow, he'll be in Bed 5, Ward 1A at Prince Charles Hospital, Chermside.

This activity is unapproved, ( mowing the lawn, and having heart atacks)

Get well soon...

I put my heart under stress this morning by attending the Dawn service at Hellfire Pass (near river Kwai). It involved a 20 min walk down a million steps and a walk on the railbed gravel at 0430 Local in 30+ heat. 40 min later, had to reverse the trip in 30++ . The stairs is hard yakka.

Thanks for the update Biggles. We will watch this space.

You're in my thoughts Skip...you are required, so you're not allowed to have this stuff happen...get better very soon!!!

BigTed · « **Reply #15 on:** April 25, 2013, 08:20:34 PM »

Hey Skip - we're all hoping for a speedy recovery! It sounds like you're out of the dangerous part - now just to take it easy.

Best wishes m8.

Once they've given you a decoke and tune-up things will be running smooth again.

Take care,

Hey Skip, shock too hear of your sudden admission to theatre - rest assured' you will recover & be ST' king again very soon.

All the best from Heather and I.

All the best for a speedy recovery Skip, just make sure you listen to those docs about when you can ride again. I know a couple of guys who jumped back on the bike too soon and made their recovery time that much longer.

Cheers

Wendy
