Jim Ross disclosed he would soon be undergoing a brain surgery next week.
“I’ll be in the hospital for a few days," Ross said on his podcast with Conrad Thompson. "Hopefully nothing will go wrong. I’ve got a great surgeon. I had to go to the cardiologist today, a heart doctor, to talk to him about this upcoming procedure. He had to approve it or they wouldn’t do it. So, he did, and they’re going to do it soon. I don’t have a confirmed date set but it’s going to be in the next week or so, that’s what I’m pushing for. It’s just an illness and I’ve got to get it addressed. I couldn’t live my life the way it was, you know? I’d forget sh** and I just couldn’t remember things, it was just horrible, I felt horrible, but it all started with me passing out in my house and being discovered there, which began and which began an almost 40 day hospital stay. I think it’s called a shunt. It’ll go from my brain. I don’t know where all it’s going to go, but it’s it’s going it’s going someplace to get that fluid off my brain that’s making me not not remember stuff. It’s fairly serious. I always thought that anytime they open your skull up and that you it’s a serious piece of business, and this certainly feels that way. So, I’ll get it done, a short hospital stay, then back home to heal up. That’s what I’m going to do, I’m going to heal up.”
