[John-Tucson]

I just spoke with Stuart at 11:00 am, Arizona time. He is in good spirits, says that he has not eaten in two days. He's not on any drugs now. He has had two surgries on his left hand. Two fingers and knuckles are damaged. The doctor found dirt and debris in the bone of the hand. He has no idea of how his hand got hurt. The sad news is that he will have to have two more operations and will be staying in the hospital. He was willing to talk but a nurse came in with some info about the doctor and the operation so I ended the call. He can be reached at; 480-882-4000, room 632.
