Greetings. I am at home again after spending a week in intensive care in a Reno, NV hospital. On Monday, July 13th, my spouse found me in bed and not breathing. My oldest daughter assisted my wife in bring me back a couple of times after calling 9-1-1.
Once stabilized, a breathing tube was forced upon me and a jet ranger was dispatched from Reno. I received the care flight bill today for $32,412!
I spent the rest of the week on a breathing machine while awaiting a slot in the operating room. On Thursday, July 15 I underwent surgery and was fitted with a tracheoscopy.
I've lost 75 pounds since June 2nd when I underwent a third laryngoscopy in search of cancer that was never found.
I'm a frail weak man at this time and home bound by Doctors orders with in-house physical therapy scheduled to sustain what muscle mass is left.
Hence, I must cancel my attendance at the reunion. Please keep my $70 as a donation to help out in whatever way it's deemed most useful.
Thanks so much to the organizers for your time and effort. Perhaps I can attend the next one.
