On Friday, September 8th, at an autograph session at the GFFD, I had a high temperature and was in severe pain. Cutting the session a little short, I followed Debra’s and the acting fire chief’s advice. We followed the fire engine to the hospital and I was diagnosed, again, with perirectal abscess. I had a high white blood count which was heading towards being sepsis. I had to have emergency surgery on Saturday morning to drain the abscess. I want to thank the surgeon, his team, nurses, CNA’s, and the staff at the Glens Falls Hospital for taking wonderful care of me. I am feeling better every day. I got permission from my doctors to fly, so Debra and I will be flying home later today. Thank you for all of your good wishes, prayers, love, and support.
