The Myth is in very serious medical condition.

"Sergio is on now dialysis 3 times a week for about 4 hours each time, and says he's very tired after the treatments. He's also been in the hospital for physical rehab for various problems, some stemming from being mugged last year by two guys waiting in his doorway who jumped him from behind. The dirtbags wrenched his beautiful religous gold medal off of him that he was always seen wearing.
Had lunch today with Bob Gajda, and Bill Seno, and we reminisced about Oliva. I'm trying to get Sergio out to John Hansen's August contest to man a table selling his autographed posters...I doubt that it will happen...last year Oliva was too frail to appear, or felt he wouldn't want to disappoint his fans in his present shape. John has always been great in offering Sergio a free table at his shows. Sergio was invited to Barbados for next month to appear at an honorarium, but don't see how he could make it with his current medical problems. Sad.
That's the latest."
