korwich Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Humungus had had a new set of hips fitted in hospital so as he does'nt have to walk like an old women any more. The op took about 5 hours and Mick is reported to be making the nurses lives hell, but otherwise is OK. He should be off his feet for a couple of weeks. I am going to see him before he leaves Hos as I can't miss up the opportunity to kick him while he is down. Leslie told me he has tubes coming out of just about every hole in his body, so he should be a bit slower on the reply to any abuse leveled at him. He went for possibly his last sail on Sunday just gone and lost to pedro and me. Maybe we can rig up a little crane on the marina to allow him to lower his wheelchair and himself onto the mari.

Scuttlebutt Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 There are great facilities available for disabled people now! special boats that can't capsize and lifting hoists. they even come with a person to steer etc if you are not able, sounds perfect for mick. he might even start winning again!

korwich Posted July 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Now now Scuttlebut, this is supposed to be a genetic problem that young Mick has, and I know that he has a very near relative that is heading the same way so I am told, whats that about grass houses and not stowing thrones. Oh yeah and congratulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuttlebutt Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Is the genetic problem to do with his hips or his sailing!!! thanks for the congrats. all the tests show no genetic problems so hopefully the new one will get to keep it's hips longer than mick.

Pointed Reply Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 It appears Mick must have survived his little operation. Will you be fit for Mannering Park ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darcy1945 Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 He has never been fit for Manno but that hasn't kept him away in the past. We all hope to see you there Mick if only to dump on you. Good luck mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
