Was thinking about Sam only yesterday.
If I was you
I'd be worried about me.

Yeh, a little worried. I pm'd him 2-3 days ago, also no answer. Just want to make sure  he's ok. I could try his son Jonathan. Bill

I've been a bit worried about him too. It sounds like he's been depressed about his progress.

I'm not sure how much he gets online lately. I remember not too long ago he posted about having a seizure and not being able to sit in front of the computer screen for very long anymore as recommended by his physician. Sure hope he's ok

He's OK guys and has just replied to Mike and Billy. ;)

To save a lot of typing, here's the message to Mike copy and pasted.

 Sorry for not getting back Mike, most of it down to brain fade but I have also been in a bad way.
In the last month I've had urine and blood tests, internal and external examinations, I've been x-rayed and am now waiting for a scan to find out what might be wrong with me.
It's quite worrying in respect that, when you want to see a doctor, it can take up to two weeks to get an appointment to see one, In my case, the doctor phones me and tells me I've got to get my arse down to see him without any appointment. It really does make you worry what might be wrong when the doc demands to see you like that and all this is besides what is wrong due to the accident.
Talking about the accident, I have an appointment with the MRI scanner this afternoon, yes, Sunday afternoon at 4.50pm to have my brain scanned. I'm not sure what they are looking for, it could be for why I had the seizure in January or what sort of seizure it was that I had, It's hard for me to keep track of what they are doing.
I know what you mean when you say you are starting to feel your age at 57, God help you at nearly 69 my friend. hahahaha.
Love to all the family mate.

Regards Sam. ;)

It seems the MRI scan was to find out why I had the seizure.
The results will be sent to the Chief Brain Doctor who in turn will let me know.
More waiting, they weren't telling lies when they said it would be a long haul. hahaha.

Sammy, you old buzzard, great to hear from you. Racing coming up and we miss your wit and wisdom. The Hooter girls have all had to go to therapy for depression and withdrawal from missing the King of Europe!

Here's to hoping you can come and just hang out. Hell, I don't race either  ;)

Good to hear you're up and kicking Sam. Your friends get worried when we don't hear something from you on a regular basis.

Hang in there my friend.
