The hardest thing in the world is when your Wife and Son has been called to say goodbye because you won't make it through the night even the intensive team could not do anything. But being a typical Scot once I gave out my pin number hey I'm back.no honestly life is so precious I have another chance and done a lot thinking in 5 days. MATTCASS

Love the sense of humour :D :D :D Maybe that's why I used to prefer going to Murrayfield rather than Twickenham :) had many a good day there (that I can remember :P :P)

Stay strong my friend - I'm routing for you :)

Hi Mattcass

You have been in my thoughts recently and I wondered what you were up to. Little did I know!

I am so relieved for you and Fran that you could remember that PIN number. I am also relieved for us here too. We've missed your banter. Keep it coming.

Glad you came through this Mattcass, and it must have been terrible for you, and your family. A close call like this does make you think about things, and to have another chance is fantastic. I hope you feel much better and get your strength back soon.

Take care,

hugs from Huggs xxx :)

Blimey MC, what the heck have you been up to. As Dozy just said welcome to the ICU survivor club, a place that you try to avoid but once there you tend to look on life a little differently, after all a second chance is something not to be wasted.

Arthur's Seat, that little mole hill, is still on then MC, one day we'll run to the top and like Rocky were gonna punch the air, shout at the world were still here and going nowhere. :) .

Now get some rest and try to stop giving Fran and the family any more scary moments.

Hi Matt, I had no idea of what a close shave you've had. It must have been very traumatic for all of you and it must have shaken your wife and son terribly.

Your a tough one though and I'm so glad you won the battle.

Rest is what you need now to recoup your strength which, hopefully, won't be too long.
