Lex Luger Shares Major Health Milestone – Lex Luger has given fans an inspiring update on his long road to recovery, posting a photo of himself standing on a ladder while trimming a Christmas tree — something he says he hasn’t been able to do in almost twenty years.
Alongside the photo, the former WCW World Heavyweight Champion wrote, “A picture is worth a thousand words!! Trimming our tree. Haven’t been able to do this for almost 2 decades. Thanks to my good friend @RealDDP @DDPYoga. Thank you Jesus!!!”
The post marks a deeply significant moment for Luger, whose life changed drastically in October 2007 after suffering a spinal stroke caused by a nerve impingement in his neck while on an airplane. The “freak accident” left him paralyzed from the neck down, and for years, Luger relied on a wheelchair, with doctors describing him as being close to quadriplegic.
Over the past several years, Luger has worked closely with Diamond Dallas Page through the DDP Yoga program. Page has often shared updates on Luger’s remarkable progress, praising his determination and positive spirit throughout the rehabilitation process.
While Luger has been able to stand and walk short distances unassisted in more recent years, the ability to climb and stand on a ladder represents a major milestone in his recovery journey. It’s a testament to his continued physical improvement and unwavering commitment to regaining mobility after being told his condition was irreversible.
Luger’s post quickly drew messages of support from fans and fellow wrestlers alike, many celebrating his perseverance and faith. After years of setbacks and challenges, his Christmas tree moment stands as both a symbol of hope and a reminder of what resilience and belief can achieve.
