This was in my local paper(as he was intervined here) so tougth id translate it:

Monterrey, México (11 enero 2007).- Wrestler Konan El Barbaro comented this nigth he felt great after having surgery this moring from his hip in a private hospital in the city.

The gladiator, who is a star in the american wrestling promotion TNA, was intervined due an injury wich made it imposible for him to walk normaly since over a year.

"Im great, feeling really good, the operation was a succes. The service I got here and the way I was treated was exelent, I was atended by a top doctor and they tell me from four to six months ill be as good as new", said Konan.

The gladiator presents also a kidney infection, so he will go througth dialisis till he can get a kidney transplant in the united states.

Wrestler Rey Misterio, star of the WWE, was with him this afternoon in the hospital, they spent some time together and he brougth him some presents.

The state of the wrestler's health is reported as stable and is sheduled for hopsital release by thuesday.

Can't Rey-Rey give him the dough, doesn't Mysterio have tens of millions in the bank?

So is Konan as sick as has been made out? I thought the hip surgery was called off due to his kidneys being in too bad a state for it to be safe.

He's sick. He just was healthy enough to do the surgury due to the dialisis.

i thought they couldnt do the surgery until they do the replacement....

The dialysis helped to raise his health to the point he could get the hip replacement. The infection and "blockage" left him in a weakened state and very susceptible to infections. My grandmother is going through the same thing but, luckily they caught the infection she had before it got to the point of needing a transplant though.
