Harold has since been improving daily and is iin good spirits. I know he is comforted by the caring attention he is recieving from the doctors and nurses, many of whom were also on duty during the ordeal of the past.
We wish him all the best.
Harold Swash suffers fall at Augusta
We are sorry to report that Harold Swash sustained three broken ribs last Tuesday night in Augusta, Georgia. He is recovering at University hospital in Augusta and expects to remain there for a few more days. When released, he will likely stay in Augusta at the home of Dr. Robert Johnson for several days until he is ready to travel back to his home in the U.K.
Dr. Johnson (bother of former Augusta National Golf Club Chairman, "Hootie" Johnson) was one of three doctors who attended to Harold nine years ago when he barely beat the "grim reaper" after collapsing on the putting green at the Masters suffering from a burst aortic aneurism. Harold has made a point over the years to remain in touch with the Augusta doctors and hosted them and their wives to a dinner party Tuesday evening to again express his appreciation for the life saving work they did on that occasion. In the process of getting settled in his hotel room for the night, Harold stumbled and fell onto a small table resulting in the broken ribs. He was unable to move or even to speak out and remained in his fallen position for nearly 15 hours until a cleaning maid entered his room.
