[color=#8D38C9ost_uid12]I got a call from the "older" half of the Chemical Brothers and I hate to say this, but his health has deteriorated. He has had a bad heart for sometime, but was not discovered until 2 years ago. He was having trouble staying awake while his driving I had noticed it when we were running team and on one occasion he almost ran us off a bridge. There were other signs, but I couldn't figure the problem out. This is one of the other reasons we split as a team. I left the company and he stayed on until he was dragged to a heart specialist and the heart condition was discovered. From what I understand the heart has three major vessels running over the top of it, his only has a half of one and the other two are almost non-existent! What a shock, I feel bad because I can't do a bloody thing to help him!

He's to the point now he can only sit at the computer for 30 minutes before he gets worn out, he pushes himself to drive to NC to see his children and stop by here and the trip takes its toll on him!
He is going to Charleston in January to see if he is a candidate for a heart transplant and then get put on the list.

Sorry this isn't an amusing story, but I figured it would be a good place to pay a tribute to the older brother[/colorost_uid12]
