Rich was discharged from the hospital Sunday afternoon (8/28). He had his first meal in 10 days on Saturday evening and tolerated it well into Sunday. He was going a bit stir crazy being in the hospital for so long and really wanted to be discharged.

Going 9 days without any food and surviving on ice chips is life changing. It certainly was a mental challenge more than anything. He felt his life prepared him for this and it reminded him of the commitment required to make a wresting season.

He is so happy to be home but has a bit more recovery in front of him. No BLT’S (Bending, Lifting, Twisting, Sitting Upright) for a few more weeks. Back to the hospital in about 10 days to get stiches out and see the surgeon. 

Thank you to everyone for reaching out with encoragment during this difficult time. Please continue to pray for Rich during his recovery.
