WWE star Ridge Holland has shared an emotional update after he underwent surgery for a Lisfranc injury this past week.
Holland suffered the injury last week in a match against Moose at TNA Wrestling.
After undergoing surgery, Holland posted a video on social media providing an update and reflecting on what it means for his career.
He said:
“So, just laying here, just taken my painkillers – they gave me some lovely Hydrocodone which takes the edge off slightly.
“Oh man. It’s always weird, as I was saying to my wife, that I must be able to handle all this s**t because for the past seven years it’s been a bit of a bumpy ride with the wrestling business.
“Just as I’m starting to get rolling, something happens. Same again this time, TNA, a couple of good matches, and then this happens.
“But again, we heal, we recover, we march forward, and I’m looking forward to coming back and getting in the best shape of my life.
“I guess I’m using this, all these injuries and all these ups and downs, I’m using it as lessons for my kids, and anyone else that wants to take notice, that it doesn’t matter what happens to you really, there’s always a way back if you just believe.
“You don’t even have to have a plan. Everyone always wants a plan, but we’re all winging it, and I think that you’ve just gotta want something and take the first step, and then you just pivot and adjust on certain situations, but keep moving forward.
“A lot of support, a lot of get well messages, so thanks for them.
“Great service and care from the Andrews orthopedic team here in Birmingham, Alabama. They do a lot of work with WWE so they truly are the best in the field. So I wanna thank Dr Waldrop and his team for taking really good care of me.
“Now I just want to get home, see my kids. I’ve had a couple of days off where I’ve been a bit more relaxed with the diet, which has been quite nice actually.
“Not looking forward to this flight home, but needs must. Hopefully this pain will die down in the next couple of days. But yeah, speak soon.”
