TNA News: Kevin Nash issues statement on missing TNA PPV; update on surgery recovery Jan 14, 2009 - 1:26:54 AM
TNA's Main Event Mafia star Kevin Nash was forced to miss the Genesis PPV on Sunday when he was hospitalized with a severe staph infection in his elbow. Nash is still in Charlotte, N.C. where the PPV was held as he awaits the results of the severity of the infection.
"I have some sort of infection in my right elbow; the culture has not come back yet," Nash wrote from his hospital room. "The doctors have been treating it as MRSA. For those of you who do not know, MRSA is an antibiotic-resistant infection. A mutated superbug. Lucky me."
Nash says the operation to cut upon his elbow to draw out blood occurred on Monday afternoon, which would be surgery number 27 for Nash in his career.
"Don't know when this will heal, depends on how my body reacts to the antibiotics," Nash said. "I have a gaping, open wound in my elbow, with the equivalent of a small ShopVac hooked up to it."
Missing the PPV was tough, Nash says, as he felt the Mafia storyline was starting to build momentum. He says his left arm should be okay to where he can return to the ring.
