EC3 is ‘not dead yet’ and he’s ready to continue his fight.
EC3 posted a new blog detailing his recent health issues, revealing he was dealing with a “pretty severe” infection at two points this year after he’d contracted COVID-19 in December. He went on to explain that one infection was related to a torn tendon surgery, and the other was after he’d suffered a cut during a match.
EC3 said both times, he’d treated the infections with antibiotics and continued to work, but noticed a swelling in his arm several weeks ago. He admits he continued to put it off getting looked at by a doctor and tried to rehab it on his own, but it finally got so bad that he was sent to the emergency room.
From EC3:
To maintain some HIPPA rights, basically two times this year I found myself infected post covid. Once in my foot, stemming from a wound from a torn toe tendon procedure (clarity for all those that tried to cancel my toe on social media a few months ago) and another from a cut suffered during a match, where maybe a wrestling ring canvas isn’t the most sanitary place to be.Both times they were treated with antibiotics. Both times I missed no activity and continued my tireless efforts of conquest in the physical, mental, and spiritual realms.A couple of weeks ago, I noticed a swelling developing in my arm, and in other areas of my body. Paying it very little attention while using bro-science and internet diagnosis, I continued my daily missions and the overwhelming burdens I place upon myself in training, performing, business, and creative endeavors. When I thought about getting it looked at professionally, another thing would come up that I’d give priority. This repeated and I lived life normally, consistently going, no rest. Finally, after an attempt at some athletic based therapy, my arm became a gigantic, swollen, horrifying, ungodly, painful atrocity and I went to the ER. Next thing I knew, words like cellulitis, staph, and stenosis were thrown around, I was being pumped full of fluids, antibiotics, and morphine, and was in an ambulance to my STAYCATION DESTINATION, Advent Health Downtown Orlando.
EC3 explained that the next ten days that followed were “a blur” and he shut down mentally and physically and was in a great deal of pain. He pointed out that if there was one benefit to all of this, he finally had time to rest and heal. EC3 says this road of recovery is not easy for him because he’s not feeling like himself, but he’s been discharged from the hospital and is home now. Despite the setback, EC3 is determined to move forward and says he’s been through worse and harder times.
I’ve circled three dates on my calendar.
