  Texas Gov. Greg Abbott admitted to hospital for burn infection
  Updated 4:47 pm, Monday, July 11, 2016

  Gov. Greg Abbott has been admitted to San Antonio’s Brooke Army Medical Center for treatment of a “minor infection” related to second- and third-degree burns he suffered on his lower legs and feet, his office announced Monday.
  Abbott, 58, is scheduled to receive skin grafts to repair damage to his feet on Tuesday.
  The governor suffered the injuries in an accident involving scalding water while on vacation in Wyoming. Details of the accident were not immediately available.
  Abbott is expected to return to Austin after the skin graft procedure, which will be performed under local anesthesia.
  He will not attend Tuesday’s Dallas memorial service for five law enforcement officers slain in Thursday’s sniper attack.  His wife, Cecilia Abbott, will represent him at the event.
  Abbott’s office said the governor’s schedule will be determined on a “day-to-day” basis.

  DALLAS, TX - JULY 08: Texas Governor Greg Abbott speaks at Dallas’s City Hall near the area that is still an active crime scene in downtown Dallas following the deaths of five police officers last night on July 8, 2016 in Dallas, Texas. Five police officers were killed and seven others were injured in the evening ambush during a march against recent police involved shootings. Investigators are saying the suspect is 25-year-old Micah Xavier Johnson of Mesquite, Texas. This is the deadliest incident for U.S. law enforcement since September 11.

  SAN ANTONIO - Gov. Greg Abbott underwent surgery Tuesday to repair damage from what his office called “significant burns” on both feet and will stay at least another night at the San Antonio Military Medical Center’s famed burn unit.
  Complications arising from his injuries also will keep him from attending the Republican National Convention, his office said.
  The governor’s office said Tuesday that Abbott “underwent a successful skin graft procedure” and would “extend his stay” at the military hospital “to allow for further healing and to ensure a prompt recovery.”
  The office did not say how long Abbott, 58, would remain at SAMMC, but spokesman Matt Hirsch suggested it’s open-ended.
  Doctors grafted skin from Abbott’s left thigh to his feet, which were burned in an accident last week involving scalding water while he vacationed in Jackson Hole, Wyo. Hirsch said Abbott was preparing to attend a Republican Governor’s Association dinner that same evening.
  The governor’s office said Abbott was admitted after a visit to the hospital Monday and that doctors found “a minor infection” as a result of second- and third-degree burns to his lower legs and feet.

  Life and career
  In 2002, Hustler magazine director Chris Wood offered him the starring role in his own line for Larry Flynt Digital in a now-defunct online series (www.trailertrash.com).[2] He performed sixty scenes as “Johnny Coxville”, a parody of the Jackass star Johnny Knoxville. In addition, he was featured on pornographic actor Seymore ButtsShowtime cable reality television show Family Business in six episodes in 2005 as well as being featured in pictorial layouts in Penthouse and Hustler.[3]

  In 2005, Lockwood organized a benefit performance by his band for the Adult Industry Medical Health Care Foundation Detox Bed Program, which was held at the Whisky A Go Go in Hollywood and which raised $5000 to help adult industry performers who couldn't afford drug rehab treatment on their own.[4] Also in 2005, Sex-Z Pictures offered Lockwood the directing reins, as well as the lead, in his first full-length feature The Decline of Western Civilization, Part 69: The Porno Years, which was an homage to one of Penelope Spheeris' classic rock/metal documentaries, The Decline of Western Civilization II.[1]
  Lockwood sings and plays guitar for his original punk/rock band Porn City Punx.[citation needed] In addition to his many scenes in other adult movies, Lockwood has continued to direct features for Bo Kenney and Sex-Z Pictures.[1] He took the helm with such titles as L.A. Vice, a takeoff on the 1980s television series Miami Vice, as well as Lords of Doggie Style Town, Thumbsuckers, Teen Cock Rockers 2, and The Real Boogie Nights, a parody of the 1997 film Boogie Nights, with Kurt assuming the “Dirk Diggler” role.[1]
  In 2007, Lockwood retired from the porn industry and moved to Spain to be with his expecting girlfriend.[5] However, he briefly returned to the industry in 2008 and performed in bisexual and transsexual scenes.[6] Lockwood has lived in the Basque country in the South of France with his fiance and their son since 2009.[7]
  In 2012, Lockwood returned to Los Angeles to resume his adult film career,[8] and in August 2014, he relocated to Las Vegas to take advantage of the increased adult filming there.[9] In 2013 Lockwood tried his hand in stand-up comedy. [10] [11]


  KURT LOCKWOOD
  Height: 5'10”
  Weight: 160
  Birthday: June 4 (The same as Angelina Jolie, haha)
  Sign: Gemini
  Bio: Kurt Lockwood was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland. He graduated from the University of Maryland with a B.A. in Theatre and a minor in English then moved to California to tour with a rock band. After living in Southern California for ten years (which practically makes him a native), Kurt earned his Screen Actor's Guild card doing such illustrious mainstream acting roles as an MTV host, and a raver gang member on “America's Most Wanted.” Additionally, he portrayed a variety of thugs, punks, pool-boys, surfers, stoners, hippie dudes, yuppie corporate raiders, hip hop b-boy and frat-boys. Kurt landed the role of the “unforgettable” Rollerblading Snowman opposite Steve Martin in the movie “Mixed Nuts.”
  So, after giving the finger to “Hollywood,” Kurt returned to music and toured the country playing punk rock with Dee Dee Ramone of the seminal punk band the Ramones. During this time, Kurt was living with an exotic dancer who was approached to do some gonzo scenes for the adult industry and that's how Kurt entered the porn biz himself. And though Kurt keeps pretty busy these days working pretty much daily directing adult features and performing as a multi-AVN award winning male porn star/director in the adult industry, he still finds time to enjoy living and loving life to it's fullest in the beautiful Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles with his two rescued cats, “Syren,” a Russian Blue purebred, and “Eddie,” his all black cat. Kurt would like to wish everybody a very Happy Birthday!
