I had been tentatively planning on attending GN and perhaps the Utah regional or maybe SA instead. But due to life all such plans are off. On July 9th while driving home my aorta thought it would be a great time to dissect. I was very close to home and tried to get there but passed out and ended up in a single car accident with an electric pole. I woke up with people pounding on the window. Once they cut away the airbags I found enough oomph to get out and onto the ambulance gurney. At the regional center they saw the issue after a CT scan and put me on the helicopter to a major trauma center. They performed the repair and after nearly a month in ICU then rehab hospital I was released home on Aug 2.
So while I would love to attend this year I am just grateful that I am still here and can watch streaming and attend in the future.
Everyone take care. Appreciate what you have and love.

I still can’t get over this. I’m so glad you are ok. Next year, my friend! We will sit together at BOA San Antonio! |

Wow! Yes we are so glad you are okay! I count myself lucky that we can just get up and walk somedays! Nothing should be too small to take for granted
Glad you are okay 😊
