Where’s Bennie gone?

Post by Controversial »

One of the more knowledgeable posters on boxrec but he’s not posted since before Xmas. I’m not sure if anyone knows him, hopefully all is ok.

:lol: :lol: Thats not all , also , had a severe bout gangerine in stomach , which led to an emergency operation , to cut it out ,, had an accident where i severed my foot , sliced right through the achiles , cutting the muscle tendon nerves the lot , foot was flopping about , :lol: , shoulder reconstructed , and pinned up to restrict movement , actually 2 bouts with throat cancer last one included a bit of surgery , couple years ago smashed the orbital in my face the eye dropped , still good looking though :lol: , mates call me the bionic man with 20 lives :lol: , yet i still feel good , I ride my motorcycles daily think nothing of jumping on and riding 6-5-600 klm a day , when my lads want some help at work i love to go in and do a day here and there , and the heavier harder the better i like it , ..

And i have an intense dislike , for mard arses who cry because they got a common cold , My missis says i'm a typical product of an english kid who was dragged up not brought up :lol: :lol: . Trick is i say to live live , love life , and stay active .and above all REFUSE TO BE BEAT

Fo r last xmas , asked what i want , i recieved a new scuba set of flippers , goggles snorkel , from one lad , a 15 session pass for the swimming baths from the wife , a new set of bag gloves from another lad , and a set motorbike boots from the other lad , i keep active it keeps me young

I love that mindset Coneye, proper. Also dragged up - 2 strokes, heart failure and spine is buggered, best approach is to crack on and not make yourself a whining cry baby imo, just plod on and be happy.

Way surgeeon explained he said we have like a fine curtain of silk thread in our stomach called the omentum and some wrapped around the bowel and stangled it he said it went septic and gangrene set in his words were we cut it out sewn your bowel back together . Threw it to the lab dog . He had a feed and your all good that surgeon had a sense of humour LOL
