To all who have been wondering about Spiderman (AKA Big Brian), I just want to give an update on his condition. I'm not sure if he wanted to keep this private, but if this pisses him off, I'm sure I can take him (well as long as he is still healing........after that....I'm a dead man). The surgury went well (doctor said his old knee was the second worst he's ever seen.....I believe it, big man was in some kinda pain......rarely showed it though). He got out of surgury on Friday afternoon and made good time coming around. Saturday he was in good spirits and talking on his cellphone (actually pretty happy to be out of the heat wave out here....it's been in the 100's+ the last few days). I went to see him this morning and he told me that he had a 104 fever on Saturday night, this set off my own little alarm (when he had his hip replaced, he developed a staff infection that got really messy, and damn near took the rest of his hearing....the little he has left {strong antibiotics will do that}). He went for a good walk this morning (maybe 20 feet or so), and didn't look too good after that. The fever had broken and his vitals were good. I left so he could get some rest, and about an hour ago, Linda called and told me that they moved him into ICU. I haven't heard anything else as of this point, and only DIRECT family is allowed in to the ICU, so I'm waiting to hear from Linda to see what's happening.
I will ask everyone here to say a prayer for my favorite brother.......as I don't know what to think at this point. I can tell you the the man is strong as a freakin horse, and I hope the doctors are just being careful at this point. I'll keep you posted as soon as I know anything.
