May be, some of you have QSO Pat when he was on F/PO-147 (last september 11th, sad date).
When Pat went down , he got a big storm, with rain, snow and hail. Hurrying to reach his car, he felt a pain in his left arm, and had difficulty to breathe.
It was a coronary !
Fortunatly, he could drive to Tarbes’s emergency where he got the diagnosis. He stay there until sept. 23th.
Now he is back home, and he feels rather good. He will be operated on oct. 27th.
We must remember that mountains can be our best but worst friend.
Hello Pat
If you are at home and able to read this, your SOTA colleagues wish you a speedy recovery from your problem. We hope the operation on October 27th is successful and you may soon return to the hills/mountains.
Kindest regards
In reply to F6ENO:
I made a QSO with Pat on F/PO-147 but had no idea of his later problems. All the very best Pat and will be thinking of you later this month. de John.

Also from me dear Parick,
prompt rétablissement et bonne chance le lundi 27.10.2008.
By the way in France usually a medical certificate is required in popular running, ski and other sport events. In Switzerland it is usually on the responsibility of each participant.
