Per the Associated Press, William "The Refrigerator" Perry was released from the hospital yesterday.  He had been treated over the last month for Guillain-Barre Syndrome.

Aiken Regional Medical Center spokeswoman Melissa Summer said the former Chicago Bears star was released on Wednesday after being treated for Guillain-Barre Syndrome.  Summer had no details about Perry's condition other than that doctors considered the 46-year-old improved enough to go home.

We send our best regards to The Fridge and his family and community.  Hopefully, he will continue to recover from this, and he will be able to do all of the things in his life that he desires.

Glad to see The Fridge is on the mend.

I’m also glad that his weight didn’t balloon up after he retires. I remember the Bears always ragged on him about his weight and were concerned that once he left football he would be dead before 40 due to complications from obesity. He’s the source of one of my favorite quotes. In response to a reporter’s question about his size he quipped “I’ve been big since I was little”.

For some reason, I was under the impression that

he didn’t take care of his weight/ body after he retired. Don’t know where I read that, and maybe I am wrong. Hopefully though, he will be able to get better…

I think

That immediately following football he did balloon some? After he got sick the first time he lost a lot of weight. That is how I understand it.

I'm with you Geaux...

I thought I recently saw photos of him and from what I remember, it didn’t look like he took great care of the problem.

Either way, that dude was massive!!! He would be big by today’s, KFC Big Box Meal standards.
