I'm a bit ill. I got a phone call earlier today and i probably won't be here in six months. It's an old bosnia thing thats recently reared up. It's been fun but my time spent in future will drop moving forward. James.

I'm sorry to read that Colonel  Not only does it seem like you only just got back, but I'll miss that chirpy cockney perspective of yours. Now, on a more delicate note, I really am hoping by not being 'here' you mean HLP. |

Sorry for double post but it's the limitations of my phone. In short overworking in the recent gulf conflict (i was out there til early last year) have torn something which would remain best untorn. What can i say. I wouldn't have done it any

"Yeah. Those lousy Vasudans use the metric system." - Aardwolf
"The Ma'saan soldier relaxed and continued staring at him in confusion, then made the mistake of standing up. It was such a strange sight, amidst all the destruction and gunfire and death, that this lonely soldier was standing and looking at just him. Then there was the flat report of a heavy rifle, and the man's head came apart, his helmet flying and arcing off, and he twisted and fell, his limp body rolled like a ragdoll into the crater he had tried to take cover in."
"Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to slide in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, screaming "HOLY CRAP what a ride!"

I knew you had some health issues, I had no idea how serious.... words fail me at the moment....
Is there anything they can do to try to repair the damage?

I think he means the other thing, as much as I hope he doesn't.
We'll miss you Colonel. If you don't care to share more, I'd understand. But this does leave a few questions... Were you in combat or something?
Anyway, my hopes are for the best for you. I'll be prayin, man.

I'm ok. I'd rather go doing something i see as worthwhile than an old man hooked up to tubes. I've got two fantastic kids. What more can a man ask for.

Regarding past actions. I was in bosnia for a six month tour. Took a hit while clearing mines. Was out for a short while and because of qualifications got sent to basra to give some training to non EOD regiments. I was pushed myself too hard.

Try to keep your spirits up and a lot of honest prayer. I've seen my own mother come out of a month long vegetative coma due the the Him upstairs... there is power and healing there. When you hit the bottom of the well, there's no where to go but up. ...and um I can't recommend the loose women, it'd be like Murphy's Law to come into play and you'd live but have acquired an STD...  I will also pray on your behalf. |

Part of me feels selfish, because I'm getting tired of saying goodbye to friends, I've done far too much of that recently.

Little bit of advice, don't always assume you're already dead.
I don't know if you want to talk about it or not, but can you say what was torn?
Regardless, best of luck. I hate to hear things like this, and I hope you can pull through this.

Wow. Um...
Nothing you can really say in a situation like this. You know we're all pulling for ya, of course. If it's any consolation, a bunch of complete strangers will miss you terribly if worst comes to worst and hope very much that it doesn't.
