Jim Ross health and AEW return updates

Overview

Following his August 12 brain shunt surgery in Norman, Oklahoma, Jim Ross has continued to provide updates on his recovery. While the procedure was intended to address memory and balance issues, Ross reported ongoing struggles with significant headaches and mobility. He noted a recent fall in his bedroom that resulted in a broken sentimental bench, stating he must move slowly to avoid the necessity of a walker. Ross’s recovery has been further complicated by a separate injury; he revealed that he broke two toes on his left foot on the morning of his brain surgery. He is currently utilizing a walking boot, which has impacted his balance and hindered physical therapy, increasing his risk of further falls. Ross has lost over 50 pounds following a month-long hospitalization in Oklahoma this summer. He is currently receiving home health care twice a week to monitor his vitals, blood sugar, and blood pressure. Additionally, a wound on his left ankle resulting from skin cancer and radiation treatments has not yet healed. Most recently, Ross underwent biopsies on seven or eight moles on his back following a dermatologist appointment; he expects results in approximately 10 days. Regarding other medical concerns, Ross noted that doctors believe a mass recently discovered on his kidney is not cancerous and should be easy to treat if necessary. In late September, Ross expressed a goal to return to the AEW commentary desk for the All Out event on September 26, noting that the shorter travel distance from Oklahoma City to Chicago made it more manageable than previous international travel. In October, Ross was hospitalized for a chest infection that caused low oxygen levels. Following a CT scan that revealed bleeding, he underwent a second brain procedure on October 7 to address issues with the shunt.
