Hi Friends

 well this may be the last time you here from me hope not but since went for scan this afternoon my back has got a lot worse i am just trying to hold out now till morning before i have to tell them just how much pain i am in , This way i don't need to get any one out off bed to come up to sort things out before they move me out to hope hosp for this back opp it looks like i  will now have to have .The pain not as bad when sitting up in chair so should make it throughthe night then will get family or friends round to hel beore go to hope. Good name for hosp hope eh!, Well if you don't here frome for some time then i will prob be gone if not will be back i suppose this opp is that dangerous , i have been scared before but this is somthing new .Ihave prayed and lit candles for  a lot of folk on here it has now come for me to ask all my riends on here to say a little one for me now  .well if don't manage to get back to you all then thanks for being there for me when i needed you and for all the help you have given me over the last three years . I hope i have been able to contribute to helping others in my time on here .for those of you that know the song i would like finish with last few lines of it it's  by the dubliners

   off all the  friends that ere i had i left them in good company and of all the harm that ere i done alas it was to none but me

so since it fall unto my lot that i  should rise and you should not  then fill to me the parting glass

So i softly rise and i gently call goodbye and joy be with you all

    Alan,

    Of course my friend - I'll light several candles for you in church tomorrow - and in the meantime you will be in my prayers of course.

    You were one of the regulars when i joined Mac, and I owe you a lot for your help and friendship here in those difficult and dark days - so very many thanks for that.

    Of course I wish all goes well with your treatment and we see you here again soon, but if not and you are called upstairs - i'll see you there sometime in the next few years and we can talk over old times over a glass of whatever they have there.

    God bless my friend

    If many more candles are lit, we'll have to call the fire brigade!! I'll risk it - here's one more. Thinking of you, and looking forward to seeing you back.

    Love,
