It is seven weeks and one day after David Ortiz was shot in the Dominican Republic, now the Boston Red Sox legend is sharing an update on his own health for the first time.
Big Papi posted to his Instagram account Monday, “Being at home and look at my family celebrating that lm here safe is priceless…
Thank for all the prayers 🙏🏽
Too bad l can’t crush food yet 😑!!!!
Estando ya en casa y viendo a mi familia celebrarlo no tiene precio gracias por todas sus oraciones 🙏🏽… lo único malo es que no puedo matar la liga comiendo todavía 😑!!!”
ESPN’s Marly Rivera reported Saturday that the former slugger was headed home where he will continue his rehab. He will be monitored by full-time nurses and his physician will visit him regularly.
Prior to Monday, Ortiz’s wife Tiffany provided regular updates on her husband’s health over the course of three surgeries through the Red Sox.
