Good Vibes etc required for Ted Clark

From: Dave Bryant

Ted Clark, a melodeon player from East Peckham, Kent, UK is currently in St Thomas' Hospital London, after a re-occurrence of a heart condition. For many years Ted was the leader of the dance band FOCUS and a regular member of "Travelling Folk". More recently he was the third member of the group "Barlecorn" with Linda and myself. He has had to drop out of things recently after his wife Cath suffered a stroke, so we were rather upset to hear that his own health has now deteriorated.

I hope to visit him tonight and and should then be able to post further details of his condition.

The vibes are out Dave. By the way Steve Benbow is out of hospital and
was imbibing Guinness at the Tap last week,so the vibes dont do any harm Yhanks all.

I went to visit Ted last night, but after I'd got all the way up to the 7th floor of East Wing, they told me that he'd been sent home. We rang Cath and she said that he has been told to rest while they continue to monitor him. We might try to get down to see him over the weekend - Knockholt's halfway there.

Ted is back in hospital at St Thomas', London. Linda and I visited him on Monday (28/07) and he seemed to be in good spirits. He is due to have an operation tomorrow (31/07) so I'm hoping to see him tonight.

Let's hope all goes well and he's back playing melodeon soon.

Sending healing vibes from Oz. Yes, I believe they work, too.

Saw Ted last night and the op is still planned for today - it's another bypass one. Ted seems happy enough though. Keeping fingers crossed that everything goes well - will ring Cathy tonight to check.

I don't know how I missed this one last month, but I'll fire up a !@#$-reduction candle for both Ted and Cath when I get home from work in about 1/2 hour.

Hope the news is good soon.

Heard from Cath last night. The op seems to have gone OK, but of course Ted was still in the recovery ward and it will be a few days until we really know how things are.

Linda and I saw Ted on Monday evening and he seemed quite cheerful. The operation seems to have gone OK - the latest bit of blood vessel re-located is out of his left arm - so I hope it doesn't affect his playing. He's hoping to be out and back home with Cath by the weekend.

Linda and I fly off to Budapest tomorrow for the next 5/6 days so I won't have any more news until then. Once that he's home, I'm sure that he'll be glad to hear from any of his friends down in Kent.

Great News, Ted and Cathy were at the session at "The Black Horse", Stanstead last Thursday. Ted's still having to take things very gently, but he played quite a few tunes in spite of the fact that he's got numb fingers on one hand - he definitely hasn't lost the touch !

Sorry about the delay in posting this, but everytime I've tried, Mudcat's crashed !
