Looking after your best mate

Al

It would take a few robust indivduals on this site to move him forcibly. You would have to give him a fair wack in the head before that happened.

It's not so much a health issue, but more a relaxation problem.

Kim,

Al is on the right track IMO. Regardless of him needing to relax etc, he needs to be looked at by a GP just to make sure all is Ok. This is also good advice for anyone taking up an exercise program especially if they haven't done so for a while.

In my time in the ambulance service I saw a lot of folk suffer things like this and the resolution of the problem generally always started with a checkup by the doc first.

The stubborn side of your mate is entirely different however.

Good luck.

Don't know to me the Guy sound’s like he is a Fitter or similar, so his job is already quite physical, I think by the sounds of it, it’s his workload, and conditions he is working in and perhaps diet more than lack of physical activity, but Big can Fat or Big as in he's a solid build.

I am a Mechanical Fitter and I eat quite a bit, most of the time I eat reasonably healthy but would still have take out 2 times a week along with 3 cans of coke a day plus snacks, Apart from work I don’t really do any exercise but am still in good shape due to the work I do.

Thou do a 2-4 week stint of night shift’s 12hrs a night minimum, 6 nights a week and it’s takes a toll on you and buy the end of it you don't look to crash hot.

sounds like he need a good few days of relaxing.

Your pretty much on the mark. He's agreeded to join up with us for 4-5 days in the High Country when the tracks open up later this year.

I'm working on him to drop everything for a month or so and come up to the Kimberley, west of Litchfield in June 2008.

Yes I have for some time. I've also mentioned it to his missus on numerous occasions and she wants a break too. We'll see what happens.
