It reads: âIn my defense, I was left unsupervised.â
Itâs just exactly something the 68-year-old would say â in this case to warrant the medical emergency and ensuing accident at his home in mid-May that left him in a coma for several weeks and now battling to regain mobility and short-term memory.

The Jorgensons built a good customer base, Mykle said. At the end of 2020, when the couple decided to retire and grappled with the idea of closing the successful boarding business, the Hadravas worked to acquire a loan and sell their house in Duluth to purchase the pet lodge.
