BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — A University at Buffalo wrestler is in serious condition at a Michigan hospital after having emergency surgery on his spinal cord.
Dan Bishop is alert and has regained feeling in his limbs at a hospital in Saginaw, Mich., the school announced in a release on Monday. He was hurt on Saturday while competing at the Mid-American Conference championships at Central Michigan University.
Bishop, a senior, has begun rehabilitation with hopes he will enjoy a complete recovery, the school said.
Bishop had surgery after doctors determined he sustained a fracture between two vertebrae and damage to a major artery. Doctors fused the vertebrae and installed a metal plate and permanent screws to support Bishop’s spine.
