We have a neighbour John who is wheel chair bound suffering from MS. He has become well known in the neighbourhood walking his dog, a little while ago he stopped and every one wondered what had happened to him it turned out his dog had died so he no longer had the need to go out. Any way Every now and then I was able to catch up with John and talk he loves talking about cars. again he vanished off the scene and again we all were wondering where he was, I finally caught up with him this morning turns out he has been back in hospital and he has been now diagnosed with asbestosis.
Some people don't seem to catch a break in life he caught the disease whilst lagging boilers in his early career, to say he is with James Hardy (who knew about the risks as far back ass 1939) would be an understatement.
Poor bugger was just about go get another dog for company as he lives alone.
Puts ones own problems in perspective.
