Terrible news like JD and everyone who knew Davie we thought that was the end of his problems. Life can be so cruel.
I am sure Davie will fight on, I send my sincere wishes to him for recovery over the next months or so.
Stay strong my friend.

Deeply shocking, Willie. I was thinking Davie had come through the worst of it. It's only relieved by the news of hearing Davie's fighting spirit, in his comment, 'I'm going to beat this Willie'.
All power to you Davie.

Terrible news I cannot take it in. although in my heart I am sure that Davie will, with our support, and his obvious determination overcome this devastating setback.

I have just seen this, I too thought he was over the worst, diabetes is an awful disease, and Davy took care of himself. Stay strong "hunners" we'll see you back at Gartcosh again. Regards, Donny & Barbara.

Hi Davie, I join the long line of well wishers although I have been chatting with Willie very regularly as I'm sure you are aware, and any little mods required we will do no probs. Trust they are keeping you comfortable meantime and like the guys we look forward to you being back in the saddle at Gartcosh, you realise you will be an even bigger superstar at the end of this!! Take care.

Rarely have I sat and looked at my screen and found it hard to express my feelings and today is one of those times.
I would like to personally thank Mr Gamble for his help, both emotionally and mentally. Somehow he instinctively knows when to pick up the phone, when to joke and when a more sensitive approach is needed. Thanks "Gamble"

Also everyone else for their support and offers of their skills that may just be the answer to getting through this mess. Bob, I will be calling you when I get out.

At the moment I am still in hospital and confined to a wheelchair. This week will, see me attending the hospital gym and being tested to see if j am eligible for a prosthetic limb which involves me inserting my stump into an inflatable early walking aid and walking along using parallel bars.
If I can do this I will be referred to the clinic who make the prosthetic limbs for further assessments.
I am in a great deal of pain so this is no easy feat (see what I did there )

Hopefully all will work out OK and so starts my long road to recovery.

People say Don't run before you can walk...I need to re learn to walk before I can do anything.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I couldn't wish for a better bunch of buddies.

Davie, you are right about Mr Gamble he is one of the most sensitive human beings on the planet and we are lucky to have him but, you are among some great friends up there, better than anything we have south of the border, you know that they are genuine and concerned for you. Get well soon my friend.

Dessa called me today and mentioned your situation… My goodness Davie… I had no idea… You’ve certainly been though the mill! I sincerely hope your recovery from this point progresses rapidly. He mentioned you have an FP-100 pedal, and thinking ahead, might have already contacted Dave Beaty regarding sensors. The sensor situation isn’t straight forward… as you probably already know. If you need any help don’t hesitate to get in touch. Take care and speedy recovery - Mark
