Been a bad few days, my pal Paul died of a massive heart attack aged 59, we have been mates for many years, he asked me to teach him guitar but he didn't want to learn chords he just wanted to play the lead of The Shadows numbers, so I would go to his house one week and he would come to mine the following week, it was funny because I would show him the notes then write the tabs for him through the night I would drink s bottle of gin and he would drink a bottle of vodka, all would go well until the following week the first hour would be putting the tabs right from the last hour of the previous week due to the drink,it took us a few weeks to realise what was causing the mistakes...
On top of that the last 3 mornings I have been up at 3-30 with Fran in agony with her stomach we have just found out today it's het Gaul bladder she said the pain is worse than giving birth. She has got a few tablets today so hopefully tonight I might get some sleep...

Sorry to hear about Fran as well that must have been a horrible time for the both of you , one of my mates had the same concern some months ago , he said it was the worst pain he had ever had !

Take care Alex i am sure Fran will have the best care in the world over the next couple of weeks

Alex, I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your pal Paul. I know life long friends are hard to come by and it's even more difficult to lose them. I also hope Fran recovers quickly. Life does suck at times but  hopefully it will get better for you.

Sorry for the loss of your friend Paul, Alex. 59 is way too young.

My mum had gallbladder problems a while ago, and ended up having it removed - hopefully the docs will have your missus feeling better soon.

I feel for you. Just went through this in December and, while it's part of life, I don't wish it on anyone.
