[Pirate looks at --]

Lamont, here's hoping for a speedy recovery! This community needs you to continue on. Joan we are thinking of you as well!

[HayRog]

So,Soooo sorry to hear this.
Good thoughts going out from us here.

Lamont, will be thinking of you, and wishing you the best. You are #1 reason I have stayed with Spyderlovers over the years. It's because you have given your heart and soul to us. Your wisdom on how to be in life, in addition to being fair and impartial, has made all of us better.

You and Joan take all the time you need to get back on your feet again.

Don't worry about us, we'll be fine and police ourselves as if you were here


last time I saw you at the homecoming.

Love ya man!


every now and then it is good to stretch out,
relax and take in all that there is. Here you
are doing just that in 2012 at Spyderfest in Cuba MO.

I met Joan and Lamont for the first time at Spyders in the Ozarks just this month -- what a joy to finally meet both of them! Joan and I have been friends online for several years and have helped each other through some tough times; like when my mom was so sick and then when Joan broke her foot just weeks before homecoming (a sounding board that doesn't judge, just listens, is a wonderful thing). I have known about some of Lamont's health challenges for a while now -- both he and Joan have posted bits and pieces on FB over the last several weeks. But to learn of his hospitalization was a shock, to say the least!

Lamont is a fighter -- an update from Joan:

When Greg called to tell us the RWF bike sold for over 200 grand, we both just broke down and cried. It was the best news and medicine he could have received. We were hoping for 50k and when our live feed cut out in the ER we just figured it didn’t go well. Greg Cain called. Craig Anders called. Lamont was too emotional to speak but he told me he wasn’t ready to die. He had more bikes to build!

Prayers for a speedy recovery!

Oh … one last thing. Please give these two dear friends their privacy and time to get through this crisis. Joan is doing her best to keep his sons, sister, and mom up to date -- she doesn't need a bunch of "us" pestering her for updates and sending well wishes directly to either one of them. Thank you …. I know from personal experience, overload is very possible and Joan does not need that right now.

All the best …. Ann

This from Facebook:
Most of you know who Lamonster Lamont Bryden is...
If you are able... send prayers or healing thoughts his way. He's my buddy and I have known him for years... he's the "Spyderman" in our Spyder community. Here's the update from Joan.
Last week we hosted our event Spyders in the Ozarks. Lamont knocked himself out for weeks getting ready. As some of you know he got very sick Friday evening at the pie run and was sick at home ever since. He had a high fever from then until Monday or Tuesday. I kept begging and pleading to let me take him to the hospital. No. He had 3 appointments within 24 hours and the surgeon gave us news I wasn’t ready to hear. Supposedly he had a clear ultrasound in July. Now he was recommending a liver transplant instead of zapping the potential cancerous lesions. How did we get here? Last week this wasn’t even a consideration. I’m in shock. He was scheduled to have more tests run yesterday. He couldn’t keep anything down. But he could hardly get in the car. So I took him to the ER. So far we got acute renal failure, his kidneys were starting to shut down. His lipase level was nearly 3000. His liver and kidney labs are not good. He has pancreatitis. They are treating him with massive IV fluids for dehydration and no food or drink for the pancreatitis. He’s on heavy morphine for the pain and sleeping mostly. He’s in and out. I am going to have to make a more general post. I cannot keep up with two phones of texts and messages. I don’t want anyone bothering him although I know they mean well. Lamont has 3 sons, a sister and mother and I’m updating them as they are anxious. The only thing I ask is understanding. We still have a business to run and Jacob is handling it. Lamont and I will not be available 24/7 for questions etc as we have been in the past. We need time. We need prayer. We need compassion. We don’t have answers. We have to get him out of this crisis. Neither of us is from here so we have no family here in Missouri. It’s just us.

Our thoughts and prayers to Lamont and his family from the NISR family (Nebraska Iowa Spyder Ryders) for a complete recovery..

I am terribly sorry to hear about Lamont. I don't think we knew he had been sick. He is in my prayers . With the grace of God and the skill of the doctors it is my hope Lamont will be ok.

Just saw them at the Deadwood Rally. Very sorry to hear about your battle. Enjoy your days as much as you can. I have a close friend who has cancer among other things. You just don’t know how long you have. And yes cancer really sucks. Best wishes and prayers to you from Tom and Michelle.
And as Lieutenant Michael Murphy said you are never out of the fight.

Though i I find it hard at times to remember this great quote.
