Ken Oddjob not well.
« on: July 15, 2025, 07:54:46 PM »
Just put the phone down from Roo as I had messaged him to see how he was himself. However, although things improving for him somewhat, he told me about Ken who is very poorly in hospital. Roo is struggling with access to internet so he has asked me to update you guys

He apparently had Covid bad some months back and it has messed with his lungs unfortunately. Ken has double Pneumonia and is in an induced coma. More positively, recently good signs and one lung much improved, so looking to bring him round tomorrow.

I know no more than that but will update the forum if I hear more.

Like all of us I'm sure, I wish Ken the best and a good recovery.

Poor Ken. I messaged Roo last week and he told me Ken was in hospital with double pneumonia but I didn't know he was in a induced coma.
Get well soon Ken 👍

Sorry to hear about Ken and thanks for letting us know Tim/Roo. Dave did mention to me that he had heard that Ken has pneumonia but I never realized he was in a coma.

Here's hoping, fingers crossed, that he pulls though OK soon.

Thank you Tim & Roo for the update on Ken, I did get a message he was hospital with double pneumonia but didn't know he was put into a induced comma Hopefully all goes well when they bring him out this week.

Wishing him and his family all the very best through this worrying time for them all and hope it won't be long before he is back home with his family fit and well.
