If you have been wondering why the site has been a bit neglected over the last few months, it's because David has been out of action over the last few months. Unfortunately in October, David suffered a subarachnoid brain hemmorhage .

Lucky for him he was next door to the Ulster Hospital and was taken where he underwent initial tests and scans. From there he was transferred to the Royal Victoria Hospital where he underwent an operation. This appears to have been successful although he is still very stupid and grumpy. He will be undergoing a period of convalesence but he is improving.

David would like to thank everyone who has sent their best wishes for a full recovery and especially colleagues Helene Sloane and John Steen who promptly organised an ambulance and got him to hospital pronto. Without their prompt attention the outcome could very well have been different. Guess that First Aid Training really works! He would also like to thank the excellent staff at the Ulster Hospital and Royal Victoria Hospital, especially the staff on Ward 4F Neuro.
