  Probably my last post in this thread.  Hopefully soon, Harry will stop in and smile knowing all his WGT buds had him in their minds , hearts, and prayers during his difficult ordeal.  Looks like he's still on dialysis 3 times a week and PT 3 times a week also.  He stated that those 3 days, Mon. Wed and Fri leave him tired out, and that's understandable..  He's grateful for his progress and especially that he's home with his wonderful wife and the new twins.  Sounds to me like he's got the best medicine possible there.

  From the bottom of my heart I thank each and everyone of Harry's friends that had him in their prayers during this, he's a gr8 guy, and a class act.

  Keep the faith--- Peace--- Ed

  I had hoped that my last post/update would be my last one before we all got the pleasure of seeing our friend back to good  health again, and playing here like he used to.  Unfortunately he's had a set back and is going to be re-admitted to the hospital today.  Seems his blood pressures very low and he's having problems passing out. Both his GP and kidney specialist advised for him to immediately return to the hospital so they can run all the necessary tests to find out what's going on.

  He asked if everyone could continue their prayers and he will continue to update his  progress on his FB page.

  Thank you to all my WGT friends who has prayed for me. This has been a long journey and recovery for me with all the set backs along the way. The beginning of all this, the doctors didnt know if i was going to be able to pull out of being on the ventilator. My family told me that i was strong and a hard will person who fault through this ordeal. I knew that i had to get through this for my newly born twins Colby Trenton and Callee Brooke and my beautiful strong and caring wife.

  My recovery is now on its way back from all my set backs, I am no longer on dialysis, but i am fighting with low blood pressure which set me back and added 4 more days back into the hospital. The doctors have started me on some medication to get my blood presssure back to normal. They call it Orthostatic Hypotension, when i stand in one place for 15 seconds or more i get light headed and im ready to pass out which is what happened to me 3 days in a row when i returned home from the hospital the first time. I scared the wife severely. So as the days of my recovery go by i am just taking 1 day at a time to recover safely. I will still have in home physical therapy 3 times a week for several weeks.

  Again thanks for all your prayers as my recovery continues. Hope to see you on the course when i can, i have better days than others, so i still wont be back to full time playing just yet.

  Thanks Harry

  Seems like it's been a year since we've played an A/S match together bud, but just seeing you post in this thread tells me you've beat this thing and are on your way to a full recovery. You are one tough son of a gun, and for good reason with your loving wife and the two babies to live for.  I'm fighting a stomach virus today, nothing serious but a nuisance that I can't commit to playing a full multi round with anyone today, as nature calls about every 15 minutes. Hopefully in the next day or two we'll hook up and kick some butts, or at least have some fun trying.

  So glad you're back to better health, for a multitude of reasons.  I'm sure this recovery process will take some time, so please just do all the things your doctors ask of you,  for your loving family,  friends,  and for your many WGT friends.

   

   Shoot low and keep the faith--- Peace --- Ed
