Stu Hixon just sent me this email and I wanted to share it....He needs our thoughts and prayers:
How you doing? This is Stu Hixon I’ve been planning on attending the 40th since the announcement last year. I’ve even booked a hotel and bought my tickets. Unfortunately, on July 10/11, my appendix ruptured while waiting in the hospital and I had two surgeries on the 11th. They released me on the 13th and I found myself getting a low-grade fever and hurting much more than I should. The re-admitted me on the 15th to find I had developed two abscesses and they operated on the 16th for a third time (of course, the stress on my body caused my heart to lose sinus rhythm and go into A-Flutter with a heartrate of 165-175). Once the abscesses were removed/opened, my rhythm and HR went to normal and I was finally released from the hospital on the 19th. The cultures showed the bacteria in the abscesses was drug resistant, so now I’m home getting antibiotics infusions through a PICC line through August 1.
What is all this leading up to, I am going to have to pass on the 40th reunion on the 10th Please pass along my best to all you see and let them know I plan to be there for our 45th.
Thanks.
Stu
