BIGKEN news update

I know there are many people have been asking where is BIGKEN

He has been MIA for 17 days..

Well I was able to track down his neighbor who filled me in in the situation..

Ken is in the hospital and is being treated for a Kidney infection..

I guess he was having trouble walking and not feeling well and drove himself to the hospital..

I don't know any more that that at the moment..

Let's just hope he will be back soon ..

Get Well Pal

Well I just got off the phone with him..

Seems he has been through the ringer..

He has a severe infection called CDiff and has had surgery for a bladder cystoscopy

You can google them to find out more

He has had dialysis also..

Guess he won't be on FTE any time soon

That is all I have at the moment

Don, do you have his mailing Addy at the hospital? You can pm it if you want. I would like to return the gesture that he did for me while I was laid up and send him a card.

Thanks for the update Don. At least it wasn't the worst fear, but still very serious sounding. Hope he has a good recovery

c-diff is horrible. my father got it while recuperating from his stroke.
took close to 6 months to clear up. and he was in quarantine for close to 3 months because it is highly contagious.
