Kurt Angle said, “Hey, this is your Olympic hero, Kurt Angle. I’m in the hospital right now because I just had knee replacements done this morning. And I’m feeling pretty good right now. But my legs are numb because of the epidural. So, I know I have a long road ahead of me, and I’m willing to work very hard to get back to where I was before.”
Thank you all for your prayers and best wishes for my 2 knee replacement surgeries today. So far so good. I realize rehab is going to be a bitch, but I’m ready for it. If I won a gold medal with a broken freakin neck, I can handle this! Lol. It’s true!!!! Thank you all!!!! pic.twitter.com/xwUX6fPC80

You're going to make the tribulations after the surgery tap out — just like you have every other time previously.
