Update on Gary Kelly
(Preview)
Just spoke to Gary's housemate, who says he is home, but very weak, and spends most of his time in bed. I passed on good wishes from ourselves and others who know him through the forum, as well as a man from the US who has been reading Gary's blog for about 10 years. Hoping he improves quickly.
