BIGKEN Update

I know there have been many people wondering where BIGKEN is hiding..

Well the answer is....

I called him and didn't get an answer at his house..

I tracked him down in the hospital in Springfield again

He thinks he may be getting out tomorrow...

The problem this time is that he didn't feel well and was having difficulty breathing, So he went to the hospital. They found that he had a Pulmonary Embolism from the Blood thinners and Also some issues with his bladder.. They have been playing with his meds and he had surgery yesterday on his bladder..

He sounds in good spirits and will check into FTE once his sentence is up..
