I got an Email from Dongers which stated:

    Don’t worry I found Wally

I spent a couple of hours with Wally and Sandra to day, he was operated on yesterday ( Wednesday)  he is in good spirits and on his feet and will be discharged to morrow.

Patsy and I called in later in that same afternoon and he was looking more like the old Wally we all know. He has undergone “deep brain surgery” under the capable hands of Dr Sarah Olsen (same lass who looked after Patsy a while ago) and hopefully will soon be back to normal via modern technology and a couple of inserted metal contacts that he can control remotely. Absolutely amazing space age stuff!!

4 days after Wally’s 77th birthday. Ask Wally what it sounds like to have your head drilled open and you are awake to hear it. At the Moment Wally and Sandra are staying in Brisbane and he expects to have all the electrics switched on and operating by the start of next month.
