Good to learn that you're making some progress in getting your issues sorted, Steve @xyzzy.

On a much sadder note, did you see the post from Janice Crawford on the DUK forum about the sudden death of her husband Fergus (aka CollieBoy) from a pulmonary embolism?

He was such an inspiration and will be sadly missed. I always loved reading about his collies and the trips in his lovingly restored motorhome.

Thanks for letting us know Indy. This is so very sad, a great guy.

Very sad. I learned a lot from him, and always valued his impact. My heart goes out to his family and dogs. He will be sorely missed.

Steve, so glad you're getting it sorted - totally share your view about the insulin. Thanks for the offer of a chat, may take you up on it at some point! By the way - still in love with Norfolk!

@Indy51, I don't visit the DUK forum so I'm shocked and saddened to hear about Fergus..he will be greatly missed. Thanks for letting us know x

Undeserving authority figures of all kinds and idiots.
Oh that's such very sad news. Fergus was a star who inspired everyone. You couldn't have had a nicer guy, he gave me loads of support and advice that meant a lot to me. I'm really sorry for your loss Janice.
