Some of you have probably noticed (& some have asked me via pms & whatsapp etc.) that @mort has been silent for a while. I (& a few others) am in touch with both Nat & Kate (Mrs mort) & he’s not a well man at the moment. In a checkup a couple of weeks ago, it was discovered he had a leak on his aortic valve that needed surgery to patch. Surgery seemed to go okay, but with only one lung, he was put on a respirator to help his recovery. Since then, things have got more complicated & he has been told it’s too risky to operate on his heart again & if anything else goes wrong he’ll need a new heart. He’s out of intensive care now & in a private room, but he’s understandably very down at the moment. I’ll try to post updates as & when I know how he’s doing. In the meantime, feel free to aim the vibe-a-trons in the general direction of Bristol & cross what ever digits you can.
hey Mort - You're an absolute Superman! Rest up mister and know that this place is missing your sardonic wit See just look at this thread! It's forking miserable without you heheh...seriously man - I really wish I could think of what you'd say here - because it would be short, bleak and funny. Rest up Mort - you're loved and missed.
He's sitting up with help, but pretty p!ssed off (as you could imagine). He needs to get used to the blood thinners right now. The surgery was a success & he's taking as long as it takes to recuperate.
