Tommy Watson

You may be aware that Tommy Watson took ill through the week and I am using the blog as a method of updating the members on his welfare. His wife, Andre, is overwhelmed by telephone calls from members of the golf club asking about his condition and expressing their concern, but she cannot reply to every call and she has asked me to keep everyone up to date via the blog.
Tommy was found unconscious at his place of work on Wednesday and it would appear that he had been unconscious for around 5 hours. He was taken to the General Hospital where he was diagnosed with an embolism (bleeding in the skull/brain) and was placed in a drug induced coma for his comfort in Intensive Care. He was operated upon on Friday to stop the bleeding and remove the pressure on the brain. The operation went well and Tommy is now awake and making some conversation. Our thoughts are with Tommy and Andre during this trying period and we send them our best wishes for a speedy recovery.
