WWE Hall of Famer Fred Ottman aka Typhoon, The Shockmaster and Tugboat, among other ring names, revealed he has been in the hospital for the last 30 days after his "gall bladder exploded." Ottman noted that his wife was told that had he not come into the hospital, just a day later he may not have been here. Ottman said that he's been on his back for a month and has lost a lot of muscle mass, but is learning to walk again and will be released this Monday to go home and continue his physical rehab. The situation forced him to have to go on dialysis because of the poison released into his system from the gall bladder but he is lucky it is not a permanent situation. Ottman noted he will need a surgery later in the month to take a drainage bag out. He said he was lucky he had such a great wife, family and friends. Ottman said he's been pushing to get better and will do it one day at a time.
