barneyg42 Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 Just seen a message from Dave's missus Lucy that he's a bad fall and fractured his arm and also a deep wound which has required surgery! Bloody bad luck for the fella, he's not long recovered from complications from hernia surgery! Arm in a cast and sling, could be a while before he's back in the saddle! Gutted for such a nice guy! 2 1 Quote
TheGreek Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 Dave's a really nice fella, who spends time here regularly but doesn't contribute much. Here's hoping that he gets well soon. 1 Quote
Hawkesy Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 I've only ever dealt with Dave on Facebook bass groups and he's been nothing but a wonderfully lovely guy. Hope he's well soon! 1 Quote
pbasspecial Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 Our keys player Ollie plays in another band with him. Says he's a top bloke. Hope he makes a speedy recovery. 1 Quote
KK Jale Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 Crikey, I'm just out the door to see a band with him in it. Wonder who'll be depping? GWS Dave 1 Quote

Sounds like a particularly nasty fall that Dave's had -very distressing for him and Lucy. Best wishes for a speedy and full recovery Dave! ☺ 1 Quote
swiftbass Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 Thank you all for your kind words and get well wishes. I’m very grateful. 😊 I was at a neighbours house at the weekend, and all the floors were bare, varnished, highly polished floorboards, and after dinner, whilst going down some steps, I lost my footing and came crashing down on the stairs themselves. My right forearm took the main hit, resulting in a deep open wound which bled profusely at the time. I was rushed to hospital in a state of shock, and it was confirmed I’d broken my arm too. (First break ever!) I spent the night in hospital and had my arm operated on the next day to clean and close the wound. It’s now in a cast and sling. My whole of my back is also badly bruised, and the side of my face took a hit too. After being given copious amounts of morphine at hospital, I’m now taking strong oral painkillers and antibiotics here at home. Unfortunately, as well as the injury, I’m now going to be missing a lot of work whilst I’m incapacitated. Poor Lucy now has two males at home who can’t look after themselves! 😉 Thank you all again for reaching out. All the best, Dave. 4 2 Quote
Mickeyboro Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 There but for the grace of God, etc... So watch how you go in this weather folks, and best to Dave. 1 Quote
4000 Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 Dave, sincerely hope you get well soon. Met you at the Gallery last year (or year before?) and we chatted about Hammer films and playing with a pick. Look forward to seeing you back in the saddle. 1 Quote
