I have some bad news. I’m sorry to report that my foot is getting amputated this afternoon. I’ve had conversations with a lot of you about this over the past year, and you know I’ve been coming to peace with the idea since it’s been a possibility. Unfortunately it’s come to this.
I need to make it very clear that I have every intention of being back in the shop cutting hair as soon as I’m recovered enough. Even if it’s limited hours. Even if I don’t have a prosthetic yet and I’m maneuvering around with a walker and a barstool. I will be back. I am not one to toot my own horn, and I don’t often voice my feelings, but I am insanely proud of my barbershop. It is the greatest thing I have ever done. The pinnacle of my achievement. Everything I have ever been or ever done or ever learned in my life has culminated into this place and the service I provide there. What I do for you in the shop means the absolute world to me. And I’m not going to lose it over a bum foot. I am stubborn. Nothing can stop me when I put my mind to it. I will recover and I will be back in the shop as soon as I possibly can.
