From Brian himself this morning via Facebook!

So, in the words of the Ramones, IT'S ALIVE ! I reckon Kim has already filled you in on a lot, bless her heart. If ever anyone was deserving of sainthood, it's that woman. Still in ICU but will be transferred to a regular room today. Tottally lost almost 24 hours at the start on Wednesday morning, remember being in preop and the next thing there being a clock in ICU saying 7:30. Nose feeding tube out, Doppler wires to hear the the veins/artery pumping disconnected. Yesterday I sat in a chair for a couple hours, and took a few steps. Yesterday evening I got a feeding tube put in my stomach so i I can get back some much needed weight, was getting perilously close to 120, which is about 15 pounds shy of where I should be. But fot now, Bayern Moenchengladbach and Man City. Looking from forward to the Gators tonight. Much love, my friends.
