Fred Ottman shared a video on his Facebook page to provide fans with an update following a recent hospitalization that forced him to cancel an appearance at the SWFL Super Card Show in Fort Myers, Florida:
They’ve released me from the hospital. They still got a lot more stuff to investigate and get me along the way better. I can’t go into any detail, I’m not going to go into any detail. They’re still investigating some things and seeing what’s going on, my orthopedic and my primary [doctor]. I’m just letting you know, I’m better. I’m only a little ugly, not a lot of ugly, okay? [laughs] So I’m just sharing that with you. But God bless you, and thank you for all the people that were keeping me in their thoughts and prayers and everything like that. One day at a time. It’s been a rough, rough year. God bless. See ya.
According to F4WOnline, the WWE Hall of Famer experienced a medical emergency earlier this year that required surgery and recovery time to help him become comfortable walking again.
