John Meadows is making strides in his recovery.
The bodybuilding world was recently devastated by the news of John Meadows suffering a heart attack. This all comes at a time when the bodybuilding world has been grieving the loss of many athletes in the community.
While we had the news that John Meadows had suffered a heart attack, the have been no details to report. That is until now.
Mary, John Meadows’ wife, has just recently updated his Facebook to inform friends and fans of his condition.
“Update on John’s condition. His arteries have no plaque buildup, but he did have 2 massive blood clots blocking 2 arteries. He has been in constant pain, but today thery were able to clear one of the arteries. They are going to try again tomorrow on the other. This could be tied to the blood disorder from 2005 when he lost his colon. Thank you all for your continued prayers and support in these hard times. Please help me get word out and share.”
Mary has provided even more information on John’s condition in another post this morning.
“Update on John. As I mentioned yesterday one of the clots he had dissolved yesterday from the blood thinners thankfully. The other one will hopefully dissolve today on its own. They decided to not go in with a cath today, as things are going well. He is in less pain today also which is a good sign. They are running alot of different tests on him tomorrow to see if they can get a better idea of where the clot started. These are many of same tests they ran in 2005. So no surgery, no stints and hopefully full recovery. Thank you so much for all the kind messages.”
It’s good to hear that John Meadows is getting the treatment he needs and is making strides in his recovery. The Generation Iron team are sending our thoughts and prayers out to John Meadows, his wife Mary and to the rest of his family and friends. We hope makes a full recovery.
