Westham67 (Dave) - (Updated) :-)
|
|
Morning chaps.
Just a quick message, I spoke to balders over the weekend & i had noticed my self that
Westham67 hadn't posted for a while.
I know he had a minor stroke towards the end of last year so i got in touch with his family over the weekend and he's back here in the UK as he's still not recovered.
I know a few of you know him, I've met him many times, proper top bloke who'd help anyone out, i stayed and went to work with him a few days in Malaysia a few years ago,well i say work, we ended up on an old iron bridge in middle of a thunderstorm with him holding an umbrella above my while i lay on the tracks taking photos! :-)
I know a lot of ex-pats know him, Private dancer etc
I'm hopefully going to go see him soon so i thought I'd get some messages and print them off to hopefully help him along with his recovery.
Cheers.
OK so apologies for the late update i wanted to make sure all the info i had was correct.
So it seems that WH67 didn't have a stroke as first diagnosed in Thailand, he'd been given the wrong meds over there.
He was given half the dose over here at first then completely new meds which didn't work either.
He was suffering from paranoia and psychosis and extreme loss of memory.
I was still trying to go see him but wasn't sure how he'd be, i still haven't managed to go.
I spoke to his family last week at length and towards the end of the week they said the doctors think that he has a condition called Korsakoff , which is a form of dementia in young people, Caused by alcohol use.
He doesn't know where he is or who anyone is.
He's been taken to a mental health unit to be assessed and hopefully there will be results tomorrow.
The family have read this thread and they said thanks to everyone for their kind words and are happy that lots of people care about him.
There's quite a few of us on here that have met Dave through the years so this'll be a shock to us all, he's an intelligent quick minded bloke so whats happened is even more surprising.

I'm going to pretend I know him so I can join in this thread.
Get well soon Dave, loves that day we spent in the Brecon Beacons, still can't believe how you managed to get that blonde to do that to you.
Pass the £30 you owe me to defjam when he sees you x

Shit, sad news indeed, Dave is a real nice bloke, salt of the earth, help anyone out, hope the ginger rascal is back to his best sooner rather than later.
About to board a flight to china were he spent a few years and posted up his experiances in the PRC, some good stuff, funny and insightful.
Met him a few times, think the last time was with PD for our first game back in the PL, 67 went to the toilet and we scored, think it was Villa at home, first thing he did when he got back was order a round of Jaegerbombs.
Top bloke is 67, all the very best sir, and get well soon.

Be positive Dave, my mum and father in law both had strokes within the past couple of years and have made full recoveries (well my mum loves an argument now which never happened before), so you can fight your way back.
Hopefully the Hammers can help with that!
