Shortly after returning from the Southern Hound Show, Ben Hardaway, MFH of the Midland Fox Hounds (GA), fell in the kitchen of his home and suffered a broken hip. He is in the Hughston Hospital, Room 263 (phone 706-494-2100).

Son-in-Law Mason Lampton writes that Hardaway “is in some pain but still has his humor.” Phone calls from friends are encouraged.

A hip replacement procedure is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, April 13, but any operation must wait until the effect of Hardaway’s blood-thinning drug wears off. Call Mason or Mary Lu for information.
