Hi, Phil – wow, I had no idea :O) – as my father would say, keep fighting the good fight! You would probably have enjoyed the weather this year in western Scotland because there was a lot of dull grey days and not as much sunshine as we would have liked.

It sounds as if you have a good medical team around you – and that’s always a great comfort when you’re challenging their knowledge with something unusual.

Best wishes
Margaret

Hi Sandy

glad you came across me again Lots of people around the world are praying for me, but according to doctors a full recovery is not possible. It’s just something I’ve got to learn to live with and it will never completely go away. There might be a year or two or even longer, of remission, then wham. It can hit hard again. So I’ve just got to learn to live with it.

The thing that bothers me most about it is the travel ban. well ban isn’t strictly true, because no one could stop me. I’m just strongly advised not to because of the dangers of catching something on the long plane trip from Australian to the USA or Europe.

Hello Phil,

Came across your website after many many years of buying your Mini Site Profits book. I am sorry to hear of your illness and I am praying for a full recovery for you! Your friend in Florida, U.S. Sandy

Sandy
sorry for such a long time in replying. I answered a help of comments, then got too tired to keep going and then never got back to them.

Hope you got some sort of positive diagnosis, and you’re getting treatment that has made you feel better, and hopefully get better.

sorry for the long time it took to answer your comment

I’ve always really liked that photo. It was taken by an SEO expert I was having a merry afternoon with in a pub in York in the UK. Co-incidentally I’ve just discovered that my travel site is now ranked top of Google Places for ‘oldest pub in york’ (with or without the quotes). That’s a bit strange, because Google Places spots are supposed to belong to the business. Anyhow, not complaining
And I’d love to keep using that pic. But my hair’s turned grey, and now I’m not allowed to drink because of the drugs I’m on, so it would be a bit daft.

Hey, Phil. So sorry to hear your news! How can someone so active and full of life get laid to low? Trust you will slowly be able to work your way up to being relatively untethered from the health system, and able to get out and help people and enjoy your writing and pictures again.

Awww shucks phil, that’s very nice of you to say.

I must admit that I felt a lot better when I outed myself about my bi-polar disorder to the people my list. I was amazed at the support I received, and I felt I had a closer relationship with them.

I’ve been a bad boy neglecting my e-mail inbox.

While going through pages of crap, deleting messages left and right, I come across your newsletter and (as always) stop everything else I’m doing to focus on your message.

So sorry to read about your condition – but glad to hear that it seems to be getting better.

I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery.

Take care,

Marko

I was saddened to hear about this. I hope you will make a full recovery very soon. It’s no fun being sick and doing hospitals – Get Over It

Your newsletter is one of the handful I read and still subscribe to. And have for many years. In an internet world of pure rubbish and me me me. You always give value and inspiration to your readers. Thank you.

Healing and prayers coming your way!
