Just a quick drive by post to say hello and explain my absense of late.

I've been ill for a couple of months and ignoring it.. I had let myself get very run down health wise.

About 2 or 3 weeks ago I started to get pain in my chest and was having trouble breathing.. and still I didn't go to a doctor (DUH!)

Anyway, last weekend I thought I was going to die.. could hardly breath at all and the pain in my chest was so bad I was pretty sure I had must have been about to die of lung cancer.

Long story short, I have pleurisy, which is an infection of the fluid around your lungs. I feel much better after 5 days of anti-biotics and although I can't walk 300 feet without puffing and panting out of breath still, the doctor says I don't have any serious problem and will be 100% after 2-3 weeks rest.

I'll be back bigger, better and stronger than ever very soon... and for all those people I have let down with work in the last month or so.. Please accept my apology.
