Citronut

Post by Pongo »

I have just heard that Malcolm, AKA Citonut, is very poorly in hospital with Leukemia. Went to his Doctor earlier in the week, immediatley refered to hospital and put straight into Intensive care and they nearly lost him. Fingers crossed he will be ok, my best wishes to him and his family.

Would that the human body was as easy to fix as a car. We take health for granted, until it fails. A reminder that while the sun shines, its summer and things are not all bad, to enjoy as much time as possible. Some of the positive vibes can be spared for chums in need of them. Be happy.

I've had an email from Andy Adams about poor Malcolm, its not looking too good sadly, he has a large internal bleed and his blood pressure is very high indeed which is dangerous, I have everything crossed, and I have to say its quite upset me as ive known him for many years albeit not closely but he is a club stalwart and a friendly knowledgeable face.

I will keep you all posted.

This makes really depressing reading. Malcolm knows more than most about our cars and helps to keep quite a few of them running.
I await with sympathy, hope and eagerness the sight of a new post from Citronut.
Get well soon.

He is still very poorly, on dialysis in intensive care but had a stable night and had his first lot of chemo. Lets hope he will be on the up soon.
