Overview
The TNA wrestling star – who married girlfriend Jennifer McDaniels last week – is in hospital after a 10-hour operation to fuse his spine on Monday (20.12.10) but is doing well and hoping to leave the facility soon.
He said: "It was a pretty lengthy surgical procedure. Doctors did some fusion work and rebuilding and restructuring of the spine. But he's recovering smoothly.
"We hope he'll be able to leave the hospital relatively quickly. He's always taken very good care of himself and in very good physical shape."
The 57-year-old star – whose real name is Terry Bollea – is due to be assessed by a physical therapist soon and can’t wait to be allowed home.
The source added to RadarOnline.com: “The therapist will get him moving and hopefully back home in a few days. If Terry had his way, he'd go home tomorrow."
Hulk tweeted about his impending operation on Monday.
He wrote: “Going for broke in six hrs.rollin all the marbles,I bet on me..I love all u maniacs! Se all u guys soon (sic)”
In June, the sportsman underwent surgery in June for an old wrestling interview and was hospitalised in September after experiencing unrelated back spasms.
