Just got a heartstopping email from Eddie my Stepfather informing me that he had a heart attack the op ( seems it was a stent will get more details ) successful and he now recuperating .. his sons tried to get a hold of me to inform me but somehow did not pan out , strange as he has my contact details ... anyhow this is to wish another old Oranjemunder a speedy recovery ,, Eddie is one of the old tough crowd so will get through this setback with ease , but yes disturbing that we have to hear of our older generation showing signs of slowing down ... So add your prayers for Ed ...
Sandy, I never knew Eddie, but any person that is going through tough health conditions has my support, so best wishes to him..... msn emoticon (69)
Ja well Eddie left O,mund about 1959 .. so yes me was only a squeeker .. he holds a special place in my heart for the love , joy in life and friendship he gave to my Mom in the last 21 years of her life . Ony folk like Bob and possibly Tom Lawrie would remember him . not many old folk left over ...
Best wishes to him Sandy!! hope he recovers quickly......................................................
A@ Sandy: thanks for the heads-up. Eddie and I were having an ongoing discussion about his book when he went offline with no explanation a few weeks ago. I see he has just breezed into my inbox again; obviously indestructible. We have some catch-up to do.
You're right about old tickers ceasing tocking. Mine hiccuped a couple of years ago but my cardio sliced out a few non-performing bits and pieces and slapped in others, so now I'm fit for another few decades of carousing,. Good as a full retread, I'm told.
Re Eddie, he used to thrash me at squash back in the late Fifties, so possibly now's my chance to send him a challenge. I might be in with a hope this time.
Regards,
Bob.
