    Dear will. Please don't take this the wrong way.
    Get yourself checked out by a doctor. Unfortunately I didn't bother when I was feeling unwell .
    All I can say about it is that they found me lying on the floor in my boat after another boater seen that the doors were wide open and that I had not tied up ??
    Unfortunately I can't remember what happened to me . all I remember is waking up in hospital apparently I had suffered a massive stroke.
    Which I had no warning about.. until then I was as fit as a fiddle..
    Thankfully the boating community looked after my boat for me and once the c r t were made aware of the situation I was in they allowed me to leave the boat where it was..
    Only one time prior to this did I end up in hospital . through a cut that became infected through the water in the canal..
    At the very least have a blood test and have your blood pressure checked out..
    We all think that we are fit and well. Until we get seriously ill . anyway will stay safe and well mate

They will probably do a ‘Blood’Test . So no Fingers 😅 I had to wait just over a year to get a Biopsy done for Mouth Cancer . Never heard back from them . So guess Im OK .

    Ok, I don't know why but, I subscribed. You sound like a grumpy ole SOB but, thought I'd see what this is all about anyway.... 😁. Just kidding, I hope you read that in the humorous tone it was intended. You seem like the kind of guy that has that type of humor yourself. Honestly, I've seen a few of your videos here and there but, after you said something about not feeling right, I really wanted to jump in here and HIGHLY recommend you not only get a physical exam but, I'd go further and say you need to get a scope up the ole bum. Maybe you've seen it as well but, I have watched way too many of my friends and family slowly and painfully waste away because they didn't get checked out when they didn't feel right or just didn't think they needed to get regular checkups. Trust me, seeing what they went through, you want to do everything you can to avoid it. Sorry for the rambling comment.... Carry on with your regularly scheduled program... 😁 Take care.

    • @NarrowboatWill
