G'day All,
Just to bring you up to date with some medical news.
The
dangers of flying economy (steerage) has reared it's ugly head.
Bill
is currently residing in Cabrini Hospital with a Pulmonary Embolus (blood clot
on the lung) from a DVT, after his flight back to Australia.
This is a
potentially life threatening event.
He gets to be on Warfarin (rat poison)
for awhile, say about six months, so no riding for him.
Crap weather
anyway.
More bad news, maybe known to some of you, Bob, a surgeon and
a mate of mine who I was riding with in Piedmonte (Italy) a few week before the
Raid Pyrenean, has also a DVT after his flight home, he's on Warfarin as well,
so no riding for him either.
And you all thought cycling was
dangerous.
Regards,
Lew
