NU fan in Denver Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 ljs blog In other news, Callahan said running back Kenny Wilson has been hospitalized recently due to an infection in his left knee. "It's been a big concern for all of us here the last month," Callahan said. Wilson has lost considerable weight, Callahan said, and it's questionable if he will be ready to go for spring drills. This could hurt. He was one that was needing the extra practice time. Quote Link to comment
strigori Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Good thing we have 3 RBs comming in for this class. Looks like we many need Castile and Mendoza for the depth Quote Link to comment
NU fan in Denver Posted February 7, 2007 Author Share Posted February 7, 2007 I think Wilson should have a redshirt year if needed. Quote Link to comment
gamecocks Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 If he has lost "considerable weight" then this must be more serious than what was first thought. I am no doctor (I did play one of tv once though) but a big drop in weight has to be something pretty serious. Quote Link to comment

I am no doctor (I did play one of tv once though) but a big drop in weight has to be something pretty serious. You always seem to lose weight in the hospital. If its not the constant pumping you full of IV solution, its the drugs that make you lose your appetite, or the wonderful Hospital food. I am no doctor either, (but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night), but lets hope he gets out of their soon and can get back to normal and start putting the pounds on again.

Ok, I thought that he lost weight prior to going to the Hospital, but if it is while he was there, that would make sense. Quote Link to comment
rawhide Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 how many skinny nurses do you see in the hospital? I'll send you a picture. Just a FYI most people admitted to the hospital are SICK and that may be the cause of weight loss possibly. Kenny may have been septic and with a little n/v mixed in making him unable to keep his nutritional status adequate to maintain his immune system it's just a vicious circle. Hope they find the reason for his continuing problem with his knee. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Okay Stoops if your listening you can put the voodoo dolls away you've done enough damage!!!! Seriously though I hope Kenny gets better this is a big deal!!!! Quote Link to comment
husker rob Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 a couple of things can cause the weight loss. 1. obviously the infection 2. not eating regularly at the training table and having to eat hospital food. 3. knee injury and not able to lift weights will cause a loss of muscle mass, and everyone knows that muscle weighs more than fat does. my 2 cents Quote Link to comment
huskered17 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Wow, that is bad news. I was really ready to see a great 1-2 punch neat year. A Bush, White kind of back field. I hope he gets better soon even if he can't make spring drills, just having him back trying to get in shape, gives one hope. Worry about your self first Kenny. Football will still be there when your ready. GBR!!! Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Folks, I have heard about this for some time, but the person who told me asked I keep it to myself, but now that it's out..... This is really serious, no one knows what the hell is wrong. This guy has lost a considerable amount of weight. I look for him to redshirt, if ever play again. It's that bad. Infection??? What kind of infection? Quote Link to comment
cmb23 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 It could be a tumor.... Sorry....horrible....for some reason "Kindergarten Cop" was in my head. My apologies. <<<<<<<<<< :asshat Quote Link to comment
AR Husker Fan Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 ***SNIP*** ...everyone knows that muscle weighs more than fat does. ***SNIP*** That's right - a pound of muscle weighs more than a pound of fat. Wait... What? Perchance, you meant that the same volume of muscle weighs more than the same volume of fat???? Quote Link to comment
Drowning_in_the_Sea_of_Red Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 It could be a tumor.... Sorry....horrible....for some reason "Kindergarten Cop" was in my head. My apologies. <<<<<<<<<< :asshat You are evil But anyways..... That is terrible for Kenny. Any doctors answer me this........if the infection gets serious enough it could lead to amputation right?? Not saying that it will because I think it happens very rarely. But I hope he gets better. Take your time though. Quote Link to comment
