Guy Fieri says he will be in a wheelchair for 8 weeks after slip that sent him for emergency surgery
""I looked like I was probably doing the splits," Fieri told Fox News Digital. "The doctor said he's never seen - you know, in 20 years - he hasn't seen a tear in the biggest, thickest part of your quad in half...This was right in the center of the whole quad muscle and it exploded.""
""My son, Ryder, texted me from school and he said, 'Well, I guess all the training you've given me and all the cooking I've been doing while I was at school, it was going to be my time to shine.' And I said, 'I am so happy you're asking me about this versus me telling you, you have to do it,' Fieri told the website."
Guy Fieri slipped down steps while filming a new show and severely tore his quadriceps, described as an explosion of the central quad muscle. Emergency surgery was required to repair the tear. The injury interrupted production and forced family members to handle Thanksgiving cooking while Fieri directed from a wheelchair. Doctors ordered eight weeks of non-weight-bearing on the injured leg, followed by casting and rehabilitation of the quad muscle. The injury is being managed with surgery, immobilization, and planned rehab to restore strength and mobility.
