One of our Australian mods, Steve (aka cats), has suffered a heart attack. Known for his cheerful Garfield avatar, upbeat attitude, and sage advice, he is a board favorite. Please post your encouragements for Steve here. Please do not use the PM feature to send your encouragements, as the board limits each member to 50 messages. Steve may be away for periods long enough to exceed that limit quickly.

We're pulling for you, Steve! Get well and come back with a smile.

Damn Cats, I am sorry to hear about that. Get well soon you ornery bas***d, you are sorely missed.

Very sorry to hear this, Steve. God's speed in a quick recovery. I'm sure you'll be back in no time to keep us all in line.

Feel better soon bud

hey bud, try and take it slow, let all that small stuff roll off your back.
it's time to take things calmer now and i wish you a complete recovery, take your time and take it easy.

your body just gave you a little wake up call that's all, you'll be fine.

I never thought me changing the skin of the forum would have such an effect. I hope that you get back soon, but no need to rush. Get well soon!

hang in there, all will be ok. your short time away from here will be missed. get well soon.

Get well soon Steve !

Steve I wish you all the best in your recovery and hope to see you on here again very soon, get well mate

We all await your return to good health and to the forum. Godspeed!

Hello all just a brief note to all to let you all know what’s going on... as AJ already said I had a massive heat attack 2 weeks ago... iam lucky to be still here as I was only just able to make the 911/ 000 call ... I was hospitalized for 4 days and discharged myself ... reasoning being if I have to sit and wait a week and contemplate mortality ill do it in my own place.... and besides I rattle as well here as I did there ... 12 pills a day ... tomorrow I have the angiogram and I will know the extent of the damage and what has to be done ... so ill let you know when I can as to what’s happening ... currently iam not working so I hope its good .. As someone has to pay for all the bloody pills iam swallowing.... I might add that this has all happened on top of the recent split from my partner Karen which some of you may or may not know... Hence my being a little absent from the board... wish me luck and with a little ill be able to reply again soon

Cheers Steve

Mate your an Aussie which makes you tough to start with, you'll pull thru no problems... Good luck mate..

I'm glad to hear you pulled through, Cats, and are feeling better. My mother went through a similar ordeal last month, so I know it's scary stuff. Sorry to hear of the domestic issues. Take good care!

Good luck Cats. You're in our prayers mate and you'll be back to speed before you know it.

It'll only make you stronger Cats. Besides that's only one of nine right, plenty more to go.

Feel better,
Grim
