CANCELLED
It is with deep regret
that I need to cancel the New York Grand HOBO show. Everything was on track and the entire show committee has been working
hard on getting everything together. However, this past week has been a trying time for myself and put a halt on my families
life for awhile. My mother went into, what we thought was a simple surgery over her hip replacement. Things drastically changed
and went for the worse on Tuesday. The doctor’s took out her hip completely because of a massive infection in her apparatus.
The surgery was long and she lost a lot of blood and some bones were fractured to get the hip out. We just hope and pray that
she has not become resistant to the antibiotics which she has already been on. Right now she has a cement placer in her hip
to leaks antibiotics into her hip area and it isn’t the same as a regular hip, so she will be on a walker for at least
three to six months before possibly she can get a new hip put back in. Right now she is in the hospital and can hardly move
but we are trying to work with her to get her moving again, however she can not put any weight on that leg while that placer
is in there. She will be moving to an inpatient rehab center, hopefully this week to get her progress moving and to get her
able to live at home, which will rely totally on her and her progress.
I would not be able to
be at the show due to having to be at the farm but I would hope everyone understands the situation and that this does not
disappoint anyone as I have talking and stressing over this decision all weekend. The entries were very low so the budget
was tight but we were still going to go on with the show, but when this happened, I decided that I didn’t want to put
all that stress on everyone else because I couldn’t at the show to help. Everyone will be fully refunded(Checks sent
right back to you).
