WWE Hall of Famer Typhoon, real name Fred Ottman has been hospitalized since this past January due to a serious health issue involving his gallbladder had “exploded” inside of him and him suffering a serious infection afterwards.
In an update, Ottman posted a Facebook video on Sunday stating that he was discharged from the hospital on February 9th and will be undergoing surgery on February 23rd.
“I just want to thank everybody for all the well wishes and everybody that’s been there for me and everything. I’m glad for all the support and everything and God bless. I’ve been trying to occupy my mind training as far as walking, learning to walk again with this walker and all that stuff. Getting up and getting down and getting up and getting down. It’s very frustrating sometimes. But some of you that’s been there know what the deal is.”
“Like I said, I’ve been signing some cards and doing some autographs for some wrestling fans. Trying to keep my mind where it needs to be. But everything is good. It just takes time. It’s a slow, one step at a time kind of situation. But I love you all, and thank you very much for all the support. God bless you.”
We wish him a speedy recovery.
