I have passed a test for me to drive as we have an automatic, but I am really sparing with this as I don't feel entirely safe for other road users. Just to complicate matters Paula hurt her foot treading on some glass and the wound got infected and worsened and she has now been in hospital for the past week and has had her right big toe amputated! We expect her to still be in for up to the next 7 days (Visiting her at the LGI is the sparing use of the car I mentioned - thankfully we have a mobility scooter and hoist in the car so I can get around the hospital) - even the cat has a kidney problem and has to have medication daily! From all of this you can probably see why I have not been around, but from this believe me I am keeping up as best I can and am always checking the results however I can. I apologise for not telling you all this earlier (Sorry Guy) I will be properly back, but it may take until next month yet . Best wishes and grateful thanks for your care and concern all Steve Gillen (a lifelong, and hopefully much longer, Leeds United fan) -Original Message- From: leedslist-boun...@gn.apc.org [mailto:leedslist-boun...@gn.apc.org] On Behalf Of Guy Thornton Sent: 05 May 2014 18:47 To: leedslist@gn.apc.org Subject: [LU] Steve Gillen Haven't posted for some time, don't suppose anyone's noticed but then things have been so depressing I suspect others didn't feel like posting as well. However the principle for reason for the lack of posting has been (another) period of incarceration in hospital and it's been enough of a problem trying to keep up with things and access mail and the internet, never mind actively mailing. All of which leeds me to the purpose of this mail. Before I went into hospital I had seen the news about Steve and Paula's mails updating us on his condition. In fact one of my last mails to the list was a reply to one of Paula's posts. However I haven't seen anything for some time. As I've missed a lot of list mail as well this is probably not surprising but can anyone update on Steve

Re: [LU] Steve Gillen
I've passed on my message of support to Paula's direct mail - just in case she's not reading these messages. If I could lighten the humour by telling Paula to ensure that they do not hook Steve up to any machines whose manufacturer once sponsored a certain Red team from the Manchester area. :-) I always am hugely impressed by Steves' dedication to avoiding Sharp and AIG products!!! MOT Steve.

He seemingly always wears his heart on his sleeve and it has always been evident that the two of you are a strong loving couple. I'm sure that he's going to fight this all the way back to you and the people he loves. Stay strong, keep your faith in his desire to beat this and win, we are all their with you.

Re: [LU] Steve Gillen
So sorry to hear the news Paula. I've meet Steve a few times, and then of course you where both over in the Netherlands last year, and he's a great bloke but I know he, well both of you, have health problems. Medical science can do a lot these days as I know well and have reason to be thankful for. I may still be on crutches from my accident a good five years ago but it could have been much worse. I am sure they'll get to the bottom of whatever the infection is he got like they did with me when I picked something nasty when covering things in former yugoslavia. Had me laid low in hospital for some time. That was a few years back and things have come on a long way since them so I'm sure they'll find something for whatever he's got. Be strong, all our thoughts are with you and you only have to let us know if there's anything we can do and we hope to hear the news that Steve is recovering and look forward to seeing him back his feet. guy On 18 Feb 2014 at 8:10, Steve Gillen wrote: Hello Leeds List, I am not sure how to contact you all so hopefully this will get about.
