Originally heading into Hoag Hospital in California for a \u201croutine\u201d heart surgery, the procedure didn\u2019t go as planned, leading to a six-hour panic in which doctors tried to remedy the issue. During the operation, an angiogram on his heart, a process intended to check blood circulation and spot any blockages, Swoll revealed how a \u201cpiece of the tool\u201d the doctors used, ended up detaching and falling off \u201cinside [his] heart.\u201d As you would expect, this greatly complicated matters.

I still feel like I\u2019m on that table looking up at the beige ceiling and bright light as I lie there helpless.\u201d While obviously not how the procedure was meant to go, Swoll did reveal the diagnostic procedure has shown his heart to be \u201cthe best it\u2019s ever been. I\u2019m 100% for the first time in years.\u201d Swoll then thanked the medical staff for their work. For now, Swoll is eager to get back on the work grind, but not before some crucial rest. In the meantime, the tool that became detached in his body is \u201cbeing sent in for diagnostics and a full report.\u201d No doubt, Swoll will share further details when he gets the full report, having outlined how his \u201cmain concern is this never happening to anyone again.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
