Bad News

 

Dr. Skull is in the hospital. 

He has an infection in a bone in his right foot. They've got him on IV antibiotics, and may do surgery on Monday. I'm hoping they won't have to amputate part of the foot, which is the worst case scenario.

Due to Covid rules, I can only visit for an hour a day.

Trying not to worry about how much this is going to cost -- as y'all know, I'm still paying off the immense medical bills from my illness in December.

2020 sucks.

UPDATE: They're going to amputate one toe and a metatarsal. :(

Thank you! He's a little down-hearted today. I'm taking him his robe, but what he really misses is his Moog synthesizer.

What an ordeal. I hope he recovers quickly and thoroughly.

It's very stressful. They're saying a four to six week recovery. It'll be hard keeping him down that long.

It's anxiety-inducing!
