Ric Flair has given a health update following his admission into the hospital. In case you missed it, he reportedly had a fall at a restaurant in Tampa, Florida on October 23.
We reported on it when it happened - initial reports said he had "suddenly fell and injured his face", and he needed to be transported to hospital via an ambulance.
His fall came just hours after cancelling a scheduled appearance at Washington State Horror Con in Seattle due to a blood clot in his leg. He wrote on social media at the time, "Unfortunately, I Am Dealing With A Blood Clot In My Leg."
"My Doctors Have Limited My Travel To 3-4 Hours. Seattle Falls Outside That Range, And As Disappointed As I Am, I Have To Put My Health And Recovery First."
He also mentioned Jalen Hurts and his blood clot, adding, "It Is A Reminder That This Is Not Something To Take Lightly, And I Must Follow Medical Advice."

Ric Flair Has Given a Health Update From Hospital
Ric Flair has now opened up about his fall and the extent of the injuries he's received.
He took to social media to show an eye patch on his right eye, per TMZ. Despite what looks like a pretty serious injury, though, he's all smiles in the image. The caption of his post echoes the smile on his face - he's thankful for everyone's support.
"Thank You All For The Messages And Prayers!" he wrote. "I Will Get Back To You Each Individually As I Get Stronger. Thank You To All The Tampa General Hospital Staff And Doctors That Put Up With Me Until 4:30am."
"I Appreciate You All And Thank You For Everything You Did For Me!" he continued. He also explained that he was trying to be focused on his "Healing And Recovery".
His social media post also apologized for some "Reckless Posting" which happened on his Facebook page. He explained he didn't own the page anymore. He added, "It Was Completely Inappropriate!"
His daughter also previously shared an update on social media whilst he was in hospital. We reported on it when it happened - she wrote at the time, "Not my dad telling the doctor he fell bc of warrior dropping him on his head... (p.s. he's going to be okay)."
We're glad he's on the mend!
