Hi all
Sorry for the lack of news, but the important thing is John is making great progress. He was overwhelmed by the response from you guys and sends his heartfelt thankyou to all. He also sys how much he misses the forum. We are about to sort out a laptop with 3G connectivity, and his dexterity is coming back fast, so expect a post from John himself soon. I took him in a guitar about a week ago - his old Ibanez ST55 with a set of 8s on it - but he finds it difficult to get a comfortable playing position cos he is still mostly bed bound! He's getting on with a RiffGrip extra light for now. It seems likely that he will be out in 4 weeks or so, and staying with his parents in Bedfordshire while he's still recovering.
Thanks again,
Best regards
Chris
