Title: Des Delatorre is offline with health issues
Post by: Dave W on January 27, 2018, 05:35:29 PM

Forum Owner and Administrator Des Delatorre will be offline for a while as he recovers from a serious health issue.

In the meantime the Forum will have interim Moderators ensuring everything runs as normal. If anyone has any problems/ questions etc please PM Dave W. But please bear with us during this period.

We all wish Des a speedy recovery and a return to full health as soon as possible.

Right now Des is not able to respond to PMs but Dave W can ensure he receives any messages.

Our thoughts, prayers and best wishes are with Des and his wife Adrienne right now.

Many many thanks to everyone who has posted get well messages for Des. These will mean so much to him right now as he copes with a serious health issue.

Des is unable to personally respond to messages but he will be made aware of them and I'm sure this outpouring of support from forum members right now is just the sort of encouragement to get well that he needs.

An update on Des' health status....

Des remains in hospital with a serious health issue and is getting the best medical care  but at this stage it's not known how long he might be offline for.

Des really appreciates all the messages of support posted on this forum and passes on his grateful thanks to members for your support which means an enormous amount to him.

At present he is unable to respond to individual posts but every forum get well post has been read to him and he has asked that his gratitude to members be passed on. Your messages of support mean more than you may realise.

In the meantime the forum continues as usual with interim moderators but please bear with us during this time.

In the UK, it is traditional to take people fruit when they are in hospital:

(https://qph.ec.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-e59e2cc12b831834792c0237910a2e82)

No idea why it is a tradition, I've never wanted to eat fruit while ill in hospital, and I don't like grapes
