i recieved a pm from Bernie aka Oneula that his brother SHARKCOUNTRY is pulling into a quadruple bipass surgery this morning… lets all send our thoughts and prayers to Harry and his family for a speedy recovery…
Good to hear the surgery was sucessful…best wishes for a speedy recovery Harry.
Wow. Absolutely will.
Bernie, let him know we are praying for him and the whole family.
E ola Sharkcountry.
Charge it Sharkcountry, and be back in the lineup ASAP!!!
Wow, that’s heavy. Get well soon amigo.
Harry,
This is one more thing about which I can say, ‘‘Been there, done that!’’ Mine was a quad bypass, too. My blockages were 90%, 90%, 90%, and 100%. For the first few days you’ll feel like a truck hit you. But that will pass. I was home in five days, after the surgery. IMO, it was a few days too soon. But I wanted out of there. Just do your walks around the nurses station, eat well, and they will probably let you go home fairly quickly. (I negotiated extra desserts!) You are a valued, and well respected member of this forum. I’m sure many others feel the same way about you. So, hang in there. I know you have what it takes to get through this bump in the road. Hope to see you posting again soon.
Aloha Nui,
Bill
Prayers and good thoughts on the way, sharkcountry. Mike
May his recovery be complete and time out of the water be short.
best wishes Shark.
just got an update for Harry, Bernie said Harry made it through the surgery and is in icu for the next 2-3 days… good energy from all you surf braddas… mahalo to you all…
Hey Sharkcountry, Get home soon, and a good recovery !
Hope you will feel better soon…hang in there bro.
Good vibes can make it around the world, Sharkcountry, I know you are feeling those vibes in The Islands. Relax heal and dream of all the good things to come.
I had quad around 6 years ago. like bill said you need a few days to recover but after that it’s all good. i was in ICU for a week becuase they had a hard time with something or other. After i got all healed up i felt 30 years younger. Bypass surgery is real common nowadays. Hope it all works out out.
Heart problems suck. I wish you all the best sharkcountry. Keep a positive attitude and focus on feeling better.
Make a speedy recovery. Know quite a few people who have had it, and they are still kickin.
A fast recovery to you!
Wow, just read this, Harry I hope you will be all right!
When you were at my shop last month, you looked good, fit, ready
to surf. It just goes to show how insidious heart disease can be, it
is almost desireable to “show some heft” as a visual warning of
possible danger. Most in my family stay thin(ner) and two males
have died from sudden heart attack and another from a stroke
without any outward physical signs…
Get well soon, you are a good man!

Go gettum Harry! I just surfed Diamond Head last week and ran into Raoul, who had quad surgery and was back out in the water with a big centipede scar to show for it. Nowadays it seems they put you back on your feet and out the door in just a couple days. Supposed to be good for one, not to fester horizontally for too long.
