Zema Ion suffers severe health scare

[Steveweiser]

From F4WOnline.com...

Michael Paris, who works with TNA as Zema Ion, was rushed to the hospital on Wednesday night with appendicitis and had his appendix removed yesterday. While in the hospital, it was also found he had a tumour on his colon and will be needing a second surgery to remove it.

Yikes. Get well Zema!

[JoDaNa1281]

Good thing they found the tumor.

Get well, Zema.

[Lance Uppercut]

thank goodness they caught that.

Who knew a burst appendix would be a blessing?

[Dat Dude]

Here's hoping TNA will cover his medical expenses. With those surgeries he will rack up an insane medical bill.

[lionheart21]

As someone who has suffered from appendicitis, I know how severe that can be.

Get well soon, Zema.

[Steveweiser]

And somehow he's STILL honouring his booking with Southside Wrestling Entertainment in England next weekend. That boy has guts to battle through this and still try and wrestle.

[crowwreak was WRONG]

Holy hell.

[NOwave]

It's certainly admirable for Zema to try to honor his bookings, but the recovery from this kind of surgery(ies) is generally much easier than it used to be. Almost all appendectomies and most colon surgeries are done using minimally invasive techniques, (2-3 incisions of 1 cm each) allowing patients to recover MUCH more quickly than used to be the case.

Most appendectomy patients go home the same day or the next day. Colon surgery patients may stay 2-3 days.

[Seth Drakin of Monster Crap]

He is a lucky man.

Odds TNA does a Bedpan Ion skit with Jesse Sorensen in the role of Austin?

Was Jesse Sorenson the Al Bundy football guy?

Yikes. I hope that he recovers with no complications and that tumor is non-cancerous.

Yes.

Oh damn. That's serendipity at it's finest. Really cool that something like appendicitis, which sucks but usually isn't a huge deal, led to them finding something life threatening much earlier than they could have otherwise.

[Crappler El 0 M]

Get well soon.

[SOR]

Hopefully they get rid of that tumor. Since he apparently wasn't feeling the effects of a tumor they probably caught it rather early on which is awesome.

Get well soon!

[Trout Stratus]

Colon cancer is no joke. Good to see they caught it early. Get well soon!

Xema's girlfriend is setting up an account to help pay the medical bills. Guess TNA won't cover it.
