Tribal Instinct

Some of you may know that Ernie who is a regular on the servers is due to undergo triple bypass surgery tomorrow. Ernie says it will take 3 operations (two on his heart and one on his legs to increase bllod flow there) and he has given his son my email adress
so depending how often I get information on his condition i will post it in this thread.
We all hope and pray that things go well for him and Ernie told me he has one of the best doctors would gave him a 97% chance of recovery.
He is not a spring chicken by any means and is a couple of years older than me(hard to imagine) so it is going to be rough on him.
So I will post any info here as I get it.

Someone older than you Dad? Didn't know that was possible.

On a serious note I will be thinking of Ernie. I've played with him for like...4 or 5 years. He's a great guy.
So keep us posted Porky, and thx for doing this too.

My best wishes go out to ernie and his family, triple bypass can be a difficult procedure I am glad to hear there is a very high % chance for complete recovery . Thanks for keeping us posted pork.

My prayers and thoughts are with Ernie and family. Thanks for keeping us up to date Pork. Have you heard from his son yet?

No but usually they are in IC for a few days after that so I am checking my email
regularly.

This is from his son Steve.
Dads surgery went well. I don't have all of the details yet. I will fill you in laterz.
My response tio him.
Steve
Thank you for letting me know.
All the people in the servers have been asking about him.
Please tell him we are all praying for hm and hope he has a quick recovery.
Please keep me informed as I will pass this information along and post in our forums.

God bless and keep you Ernie

Got this from Steve today.
Dad seems to be doing better than average so they moved him from ICU to a regular room. He is still pretty medicated and not talking much. They want to do some PT on him.......but I think that it will be minimal since he still hasn't had surgery on his legs and the other alternitive is a hand bike. They don't want to do the hand bike because of the pressure on the chest. I dunno if this the is correct addy.......so e-mail me back so I know that you are gettingf these. ernie also made mention of some tweaks that you did to your game. If you could e-mail me that I could tweak his game before he came home.....thx..........hypersteveO

I'm glad Ernie came through it well.

Get well quick Ernie!
And back in the server.

Update on Ernie as of 10/5/2009.
E-mail from his son.
Hey ernie is at home and seems to be doing better...........he was actually gonna get out and do some stuff today !! I am suprised that he has not contacted anyone. I doubt that he will be playing anytime soon but I am suprised that he hasn't spectated.

Good to hear he's back at home

Glad to hear everything went well and that he is back home and doing well .

Awesome!

Ok Ernie it's time for you to get all better and come own us again. I've given you a nickname: "The Creeper" because you're such a great clutch player and you have this uncanny ability to sneak up on and frag even the greatest of players!

My prayers go out to you and your family, Ernie. Get well soon. -------> Prozac

This is from Ernie's son received today.
Well Ernie is doing fine so far....I called today and he was out........so at least he is doing things. He said that the last thing that he was thinking about was unreal tournament.....lol. I kinda think that it is up to him to fill you in from now on.... since he is able . You can contact him at ( I will give out his phone number on request via PM )
