Jim Ross Discloses That He Called WrestleMania Despite Recurrance Of Internal Bleeding.; Has Four Non-Cancerous Polyps Removed
Posted: Apr 6th 2008 By: CMBurnham
Jim Ross disclosed on his blog that he called Wrestlemania despite a recurrence of colon problems that saw him in the hospital, including internal bleeding while in Orlando, eventually resulting in the removal of 4 non-cancerous polyps:
"Sometimes my timing isn't so great. I felt somewhat poorly during the WM24 weekend and attributed it to just getting over a 3 week bout of the flu. In hindsight, I should have taken a week or two off prior to Wrestlemania to insure that the flu had subsided, but I didn't.
While in Orlando I started having colon problems again and began to lose a great deal of blood. But as the old saying goes, "the show must go on" and as I was once told, " a man can be sick at work just as easily as he can be sick at home" so I kept my issues to myself and went about the task of doing my job.
This Friday I spent the majority of the day in the hospital here in Norman, the same hospital that removed 13" of my large intestines in 2005, along with a benign tumor off my colon. Friday was like a day at the beach compared that ordeal in 2005, as Friday I underwent a thorough colonoscopy and had 3-4 non-cancerous polyps removed. I dodged another bullet."
