From Andyhallet.com Andy HallettA Letter From Andy Hallett About His ConditionSunday 6 June 2004, by Webmaster A Letter From Andy (06.05.04) Hi everyone, thanks for checking up on my new site! I wish I had better news for you at the moment, however I am having a bit of a rough time right now, medically speaking. As you know, it would take a lot for me to miss a scheduled event (ya know what a ham I am...) but I’m unable to fly or travel at the moment. Last week I was hospitalized due to a minor viral infection that was complicated by exhaustion. This minor problem turned “not so minor” quite quickly and was causing major problems with my lungs and breathing. I was in the I.C.U. At Cedars-Sinai Medical for the past 5 days under the care of wonderful doctors and nurses who I owe the world to. I am forever grateful for the care, concern, and unbelievable treatment given to me by all of them, but especially Dr. Sourpik Avakian. She was by my side every step of the way and gave me constant hope and lots of love. Thank you Dr. Avakian for everything...I owe ya one and I love you. Doctor Avakian and I are both predicting and hoping for a speedy recovery, but I just have to rest, rest, rest, rest, rest, rest (as she says). I am very sorry if I disappointed anyone with my absence from this weekend’s event in the Poconos, believe me I’d be there if I could. I promise to make it up to you somehow. So that’s it for now, I’ll keep ya posted as time goes on. Thank you again to the wonderful staff at Cedar’s, to my awesome circle of friends who have helped me immensely through this, especially Dayne Johnson, Mark Lutz, Matt Williamson, Dr. Avakian, Janet, Dr. J., Charlie, Reiss, Pat Brady, and my Mom and Dad. I love you guys very much. Oh and sorry to that little nurse I had to cuss out while in the hospital....I was kinda cranky that day....oops. Hope to see you all soon. Best, Andy 11 Forum messages |
