Hey Everyone

Bob is back in the hospital with the same infection. The last amputation did not remove all the infection, major bummer. His condition is called osteomyelitis. All his trips to Baja are cancelled. He is in Room 429 bed A at Tri City Hospital in Vista. He does have his mobile so give him a call or go visit him...

***Update @ 9:45am 7/5/18***
Just spoke to Bob, surgery is set for tonight @ 5:00pm. The doctors believe the infection is at the end of the stump so they are going to try and just shave off part of the bone instead of doing another full amputation above the knee. Hopefully this will fix it once and for all.

Too bad.

Sorry to hear about it.

All the best for speedy recovery.

Wow, that sucks. Just when it looked like he had that problem solved.
