Popular professional poker player Eric ‘Rizen’ Lynch is back home after successful surgery to remove his gall bladder.
According to a post on his blog, Lynch, who is known by many as an instructor over at PokerXFactor, started experiencing pain late last week and eventually made his way to the hospital, where tests revealed that his gall bladder had essentially stopped functioning.
Lynch is now home and recovering. Excerpt from blog post:
As it turns out, my gall bladder had pretty much ceased functioning and was causing some pretty extreme pain in the process. After running lots of tests etc I finally had it taken out Wednesday and I’m home today. I’m feeling much better, but still a little sore from surgery. I’m going to keep this brief for now since I have a lot of things to do now that I’m home, but wanted to let everyone know I’m home and okay. I have no idea when I’m going to go back to playing, the pain meds I’m on probably aren’t very good for my poker game. I think I’m going to just take a few days getting used to being back home and see what I can and can’t handle, maybe play some cash games where I can quit if I feel I’m not sharp, and generally take it pretty easy.
I’ll keep everyone up to date. I’m pretty tender, but otherwise feeling pretty good.
Whole thing here. Best wishes to Eric from PTP for a speedy recovery (and not just because he’s our best chance of getting new cash game videos over at PXF).
