What did Sky Daily Say About Hulk’s Health on Instagram?
Seven days ago, Daily responded to rumors that Hogan was in a coma on Instagram.
“No, he’s definitely not in a coma!” Daily replied to one fan. “His heart is strong… and there was never any lock of oxygen or brain damage…”
She went on to say that none of those rumors were true and that Hogan was recovering from a major four-level Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion, a type of neck surgery that has a long and intense healing process.
“If you look it up, you’ll see what the last six weeks have involved… not just for his spine but his vocal cords and the eating/breathing tubes that are clamped over during surgery,” Daily said.
Daily also said there was “no need” for the panic around his health.
“We’ve been in and out of the hospital to support that recovery,” she said. “So truly, there’s no need for the drama or panic some people try to stir up. He’s healing, and we’re taking it one day at a time with love, strength and patience.”
Attempts to reach Daily on Thursday afternoon were unsuccessful.
