@poyndexter - Thankyou, kindly!!! I will pass on your good wishes - we didn't talk last night, so there is a phone call due tonight. and I shall pass on the info about the bottle system - he still manages inside his small home - but is still planning to visit me (he lives in NSW, I live in WA!) - but needs to see his doctor first and we'll see what happens then. I'll also pass on the Ivermectin tip - I checked it out, seems to be an all-round useful medication, but mostly a worm medication (?!) - an Austrian 'blue' politician (equivalent to our 'teals') lost his credibility because he came out with a pro-Ivermectin 'attitude' - but who knows, everything is worth a try.
He is still interesting to talk to. Conversations are now often more introspective, as you can imagine. He has mentioned you a number of times, thinks of you as a friend. Go well Taurisk
