Personel - sorry peeps.

I have been in and out of various medical institutions over the past 6 months. At the last lot of blood tests I was referred to the haemophilia dept of the BRI. They'd found a strange protein which can lead to blood cancer (a condition known as MGUS).

I went back in today for a final check up and was told that after several sections had analysed matters that it was minimal and very little risk.

My fractured spine is improving very, very slowly but still I have a miniscule hope of ever getting on a bike again

I would thank all you regulars for your excellent junction marking (bar one !) and great comradeship. I miss it enormously and have so many very happy memories. Was a huge part of my life while it lasted.

Hope to see some of you again sometime and I wish you all safe and pleasant riding.

Larry.

Aw, Larry, So sorry to hear this and sorry to hear about your last six months too, but good to hear there is little risk of the MGUS developing.
Thank you for the support you have given WB over the years.
Take care of yourself, your profile will remain open should you wish to return to the forum.
All the best
BB

Cheers m'dear for the very kind thoughts. Can't even drive an automatic car or get on a bus or walk to the shop at the mo. Waiting for more improvement but am considering a mobility scooter. Fed up with living in one room (alone) for many months.

Sorry to hear you?re out of action Larry, at least the possibility of a smaller bike is something to work towards, iv just brought myself a 1976 Honda cd175 as a step up from the Vespa, not quite as nice as riding the big bikes but a close 2nd.

Cheers Badge...will be quite a while yet. I couldn't even drive an automatic car at the mo. Have a tiny improvement in mobility but in much less pain than a few weeks ago.

Thankful for small mercies.

Larry - Hope things start to improve for yo now, good to hear there is little risk from the results. I have to say some of the rideouts led by still stick in my mind, the weather always seemed better back then as well. Keep posting on the forum, it's good to keep in contact.

Will see if I have a pic from one of the rideouts

All the best

I can't seem to add a pic....

Mr. Nut gave me an unexpected but most welcome call yesterday. Nice to chat to one of you lot. Feel free to do likewise all. Contact Kev for number.

Sorry to hear Larry but its good that part of you is on the mend in a measurable way and the other is encouraging.
I will miss you leading of those magical mystery tours, you know the ones where you "got lost"....
Maybe we could have a ride out with you on your mobility scooter I've seen them in Asda they rip round at about 60mph at least it seems that way.

@DAZR
"I can't seem to add a pic...."
I have the same issue, had it for over a year now so just given up.

[Burbler]

'Lost' ? Moi ?

Cheers Trev....Gonna be at least 3 months...still hopeful but only 5 %
