He tells the story from his hospital bed: “I’m dead tired. I’m looking for any excuse to get some rest. I take a shower, I slip on the soap suds below. My body comes slamming down to the floor. I can’t lift my left leg at all. Something is obviously broken. My assistant calls for an ambulance. I’m delivered to Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla. I have broken my hip and that same day I have a complete hip replacement.
