Jim Ross is facing more health concerns.
On his Grilling JR Podcast, Ross revealed that he will be undergoing brain surgery next week.
“I feel pretty good. I’m getting better every day but still got a ways to go. I can’t drive yet. All that stuff. I’m cutting back on my appearances. I got one big one coming up in Minneapolis in a few weeks but I’m just battling, I’m getting ready to have another surgery, brain surgery this time. That’s going to be an adventure because I don’t think they’re going to find much in my brain,” he joked.
Ross revealed that during his last stay in hospital, which ended up being for 40 day, he suffered memory loss.
“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 s–t and I just couldn’t remember things. It was just horrible. I felt horrible,” he said.
Ross described the procedure itself.
“Anyhow, this procedure that I’m getting ready to have done, 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,” he said.
