Returned home a couple days ago from my solo up the Moose and along the boarder. Had all kinds of weather and had to end a bit earlier than planned due to a medical issue that culminated with my first ride in an ambulance and a night in the Ely hospital. Glad to be home, sad the trip was truncated. Will try to put together a trip report in the next few days.

Hope you feel better Frenchy... Two days before I was to head back I ended up in the hospital too. Same issues as before flaring up. Look forward to your report.

Ouch! That's even worse than gear failure, Frenchy...

I hope everything's going to be OK.

Thought I was having a heart attack, turns out it was pleurisy, something I'd never heard of. Still sore and having a hard time sleeping.

Welcome back! I was reading all the pre-trip postings so was looking forward to the report. Hope all is well with your health!

Yep. The good news is that I now now all of my major organs are healthy and are doing just fine. Frustrating way to discover that, however.

Sorry to hear about your medical troubles. Glad you are home safe and sound. I look forward to seeing you trip reports. I enjoy reading your reports.

Glad to hear your on the mend being in the bush is not the place to have medical problems, but if I have to meet my maker that is the place I want to be, sorry to the folks that have to drag my carcass out of the woods. FRED
