Here is an update on the health of Mickie Knuckles (Moose in TNA) following the surgery on
her broken right femur bone.

We just talked to the doctor and the surgery was a success. It took
quite a bit longer to do the surgery than they anticipated because of
how muscular Mickie is. The doctor’s quote was “we expected someone
with the muscle mass of a 24 year old female and we got a
construction worker instead.” Due to the amount of muscle mass in her
legs from all the hindu squats, when the muscles spasmed after the
bone broke, it caused the bones to slide past each other. They had to
stretch the bones back out to get them end to end in order to insert
the titanium rod.

He expects that Mickie will be able to walk out of the hospital on
Wednesday with crutches and maybe she can recover and go through
therapy enough to be back inside a wrestling ring inside of 6 months.

The doctor said that it was a “perfect storm” of “freak events” that
had to cause the injury due to how strong she is but that such things
do occur.

We are hoping to be able to see Mickie in the next 90 minutes or so
after she gets out of the recovery room.

Once again, we thank all of the great fans that have been kind and
sympathetic in this horrible time and have offered their well wishes
and prayers. Our phones have been ringing nonstop and our email boxes
have been filling with people wanting updates. We can’t respond
personally to all of them so please just accept these updates on the
board and pass them along to friends as needed.

Even though the surgery is over and was deemed successful, please
keep Mickie in your thoughts as she will need the support in order to
get through rehab and return as soon as she is back to 100%.
