Fort Bend County Judge KP George was rushed to Memorial Hermann Sugar Land hospital at 3 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 13 due to acute abdominal pains. Upon arrival, medical staff performed tests and identified a large kidney stone which was removed via surgery.

“I am deeply thankful to my family, the emergency personnel, and our healthcare staff for supporting me over the last few days. I am in good spirits, ready to get back to work on behalf all those that call Fort Bend County home, and expected to fully recover in a few days,” George said in a letter that accompanied a press release from his office.

George has returned home to recover and said he will be working virtually over the next few days as he recovers from the procedure. He expects to make a full recovery and expressed appreciation for support from his constituents.

“Thank you to everyone for the well wishes and support. I am beyond blessed to live in such a wonderful community. Your words and encouragement mean the world to my family and me,” George said.
