Dusty Hanshaw has been discharged from the hospital.

Some truly great news has broke as it appears IFBB Pro bodybuilder Dusty Hanshaw is making a full recovery. After being in the hospital for weeks, Hanshaw has been released with a clean bill of health.

These days it feels like we’re receiving nothing but bad news. Many people have lost their lives over the past and a half. Things were looking grim and the possibility of further calamity lurked at every corner. But not everything has been depressing. Every day we take one step closer to returning to normal and that has given us hope.

Good news can be a transformative thing, a piece of positive energy that lifts up the masses. So it’s with great pleasure to announce that Dusty Hanshaw is making a full recovery.

Just a few weeks back things were looking grim for the IFBB Pro. Dusty Hanshaw had suffered severe damage to his esophagus. The injury was so bad in fact that a GoFundMe  was set up in order to address his medical bills.

But now it appears that Dusty Hanshaw has received the necessary treatment to ensure that he’ll make a full recovery.

Great News

Overjoyed to be discharged from the hospital, Dusty Hanshaw went to social media to discuss the good news.

Humbled… filled with gratitude… and blessed to still be on this amazing ride of life thanks to so many of you. Because of many of you my ride of life and a comeback are both possible and starting soon.

With all I am and all I can offer in emotion thank you to all of you from @nikkifitmama , myself, and our family for your love, support, and even financial donations.
