p1p Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Many of us who have lived in Chiang Mai for some years will know, respect and have a great fondness for Larry Lek, one of our longest standing fellow expatriates here. I am sorry to report that he has been taken seriously ill and is now in ICU in hospital. This is not unexpected, but upsetting nonetheless. To preserve his deeply valued privacy, I am giving no further details here, but genuine friends of his can contact me via phone or PM. I am sure All at TV will send our heartfelt wishes for a speedy recovery to rude good health. (He has long been a popular and respected contributor to TV, albeit under a different name.)

p1p Posted July 17, 2005 Author Share Posted July 17, 2005 Brief update. Larry is now out of ICU, but still seriously unwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidgtr Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Visited Larry at home this arvo, after he checked himself out of the hospital! He's obviously unwell & going to need time to get back to normal. But he is able to actually walk albeit with some difficulty, so is "mobile" & I would not be suprised to see him back on this board sooner than some of you might think. He would also like to thank everyone for their get well wishes & kind thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajarn Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Thanks to all.... I had another stroke which affected me mostly by taking away my ability to talk, and I'm back to walking poorly again... It's not so bad, since I have some excellent staff at home to help take good care of me. And friends that care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaiPauly Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 I'll have seconds of that <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't know if you can "Third" something but I would like to third it anyway. I tried calling him last nite but his mobile was switched off. I know him as a really kind and caring guy, I dont want to call him at a bad time (ie when he does not feel like talking or is resting,) so Larry you have my number call me when you feel up to it.
