Hi Jim

Just listened to your heart wrenching account of your heart attack & what then occured!

So glad you were looked after so well & shown what could be your "Dantes inferno" spending eternity listening to E17!

Keep it up mate!

This is real, this is you! This is life!👍🏻💪

Thank you, Nige. I hadn't thought about the prospect of an eternity listening to East 17!

Dear Jim,

I was heartbroken and shed a few tears when it came to light that we lost those 4 lovely young lads. We lost our niece, Becca (aged 22) last year in Oswestry, to a hit and run, so we understand the heartbreak, although I am sure this has destriyed the families of these young boys. I hope that time dims some of the pain and that they get some comfort from the outpouring of love that followed.....

Re: your heart attack and recovery, I lost my dad, when I was 12, (in 1979) to a heart attack (the autopsy showed Coronary infarcts and Thrombosis - which I had to look up) and this was the last of a number of heart attacks he had suffered. I understand the edges of what you suffered. I had always wondered why we lost you from your radio show. Glad you are ok and recovering. Am I right that cokld weather can exacerbate symptoms for you in your recovery? If so, please dont take any risks in the current cold snap.

As always, look after yourself.

Healey

I'm so sorry to hear about Becca, Healey. That's so awful ...

The heart attacks are part of the story as to why I'm not on the radio. I'll tell you the full story when I'm able to!
