Hi Brian,Originally Posted by captain kong
Jo told me some of the details. As far as I understand it, he had a chest infection which led to pneumonia - with a dose of pleurisy thrown in for good luck. However, I don't know why that would lead to the need for a tracheotomy.
Brian doesn't know he has had that operation as he can't actually lift his hand to his throat - and they've decided not to tell him for now. He tries to talk to visitors but gets very distressed when he can't - which is why Jo advised me not to visit yet.
Jo believes that he should eventually recover some ability to talk, but it isn't guaranteed. She's really worried about that as the guy can talk for England and losing that faculty would hit him hard.
For now, all we can do is hope and pray (I'm not a religious guy but I've sent the odd one or two prayers up on Brian's behalf). Also, keep sending him emails as Jo reads them to him and it cheers him up.
Regards,
Kevin
Thats sad news I hope he is okay.
Oh as I was young and easy in the mercy of his means,
Time held me green and dying
Though I sang in my chains like the sea.

info
Brian was on the Skype to me one saturday.
he was telling me that it all stems from when he fell on a spike( see in his childhood story) The meucus from his throut was closing his tubes. The operated on him the week or so before.
As he was talking to me he said he had to go as he was feeling funny so I told him to call his wife from thro the room.
Next thing I hear is the e mail from Jo.
That was about three weeks ago.
So I asume that was has caused the trouble .
We will just have to hope and pray that's it all ends up well.

Re Brian.
"Thanks Kevin & Ron, for the info on Brians illness, Lets hope he gets better soon, ! It's obvious that he was doing too much after his op, thus the Pneumonia & infection. "Get well soon Brian"!
Has anyone heard of Brian`s condition recently, I have sent three emails to his daughter, but no reply.
I'd also like to know Brian. I hope all is well.

I'll give Jo a ring today, but only have her landline so she is hard to catch in.
Kevin
Have we any more news about Brian?
