After His Fall in Florida, Ric Flair Appears in Public With an Eye Bandage and Reassures Fans

Ric Flair, 77, said on Instagram that he was recovering after falling in Tampa, Florida, on October 23 and injuring his head and the area around his right eye. Taken by ambulance to Tampa General Hospital, he thanked fans, doctors and hospital staff, and was photographed in public a few days later wearing an eye bandage. His daughter Charlotte Flair also reassured fans that he would recover. Flair is separately dealing with a blood clot in his leg and is expected to undergo a vein procedure, though no date has been given; no connection to his fall has been established.
