KG’s Blog Post #161 – 10/14/12 3:31pm (Back in Fla, Dad & Me => Haller’s)
I’ve been back in Florida for about 6 weeks and it’s been a brutal run. This is going to be quick, because I’m basically out of words that make any sense. This has been really hard to handle because I had 3 months of very low levels of pain and I was actually a human being again. I was starting to play 4 or 5 times in a week and I was having dinner with friends and socializing like a human. It felt great to be almost me again. I mean I was even dating a seducing women again. I must admit the old charm was still around. I’m a cutie, u know. I feel bad because my heart is on freeze at the moment. After the Norwegian who stole my heart, money & soul, I’m not quite ready to be thawed out yet.
Then, for whatever reason, the nasty ass pain has come back with a vengeance. As you can imagine, I’m a little bit of an emotional wreck, which might very well being causing the nerves to fire even harder, but I’m not Freud I’m just a dopey me.
In the next 2 weeks I’m going to have something done that is very risky, but I have no choice because if I don’t try this I will end up on the wrong side of the golf course I’m afraid. There is no guarantee, but I feel like I have to give it a shot. I’m not ready to throw in the towel yet, because I still feel I can turn this around and do some good things for golf, people, and dogs. I’m too stupid to give up, so I won’t till I can’t breathe.
Please don’t take anything I said the wrong way but I know that those 5 people who do read this want me to be honest, so I’m telling you the whole truth. Oh, by the way my Father, and I were both inducted into the Danbury High Hall of Fame and I was so honored to be put in with my Father. The first Father & Son combo. It was so emotional and I didn’t expect that, but it felt great. My old man was the first 4-sport stud muffin back in the early 7th century. I obviously got my hand/eye from him, and my mental toughness from my Mom, that is till now.
I’m ashamed of myself for not handling this pain better. I should’ve joined the Marines – maybe I would be tougher. We will get this under control though, I refuse to believe otherwise.
Take care my friends,
Ken

Hang in there Pro we love you up here in CT. Great time at HOF. It was an honor to sit at your table. Thank you. Look on the bright side, you could be up here with us with no power, no heat, no lights, no gas and it’s snowing outside. You’re smarter than any of us, you made the right move relocating to Florida! See you soon. Can’t wait to get to Fl and a time when I never have to see a sign that says ‘Welcome to NJ’. 2 weeks and they still can’t figure out how to get electricity to a home or a train running on a track. You wanna talk about idiots! NJ transit and PSE&G electric.
Hang in there Ken! If there is one person that does not have to appologize for not being able to handle pain.it is you! I dont know anyone that would have withstood the pain you are suffering. You are an inspiration to a lot of people! I am sending you all my wishes that the latest proceedure will get you back to normal again. You really to deserve to get there! And i know you will…will power will get you there…just like the putt you sank in Hong Kong. All the best, Nick
