“What’s up guys? Day 59. I’m out. With my beautiful wife, supportive. Man, that was a long journey, and it’s not over as I still can’t really walk; I have to re-teach myself to do that, among many other things,” Askren said in the post. “I guess I can make light of it, because it’s me. I don’t remember 35 days of this journey, I think the last surgery was 24, 25 days ago, it was hard. It was hard. I said this already in one of the videos, but the support you guys gave me, whether it was sending a GoFundMe or whether it was helping my kids and wife get through it, I had friends come from all over the country to just hang out for a couple of days, it meant so much.”
