CHICAGO -- Former Chicago Bears defensive tackle William "The Refrigerator" Perry said on Thursday his health is improving after a recent hospitalization to treat a leg infection.
"I feel great," Perry said. "I'm moving around. Everything is getting better, so I can't complain. I'm doing fine."
Doctors at Chicago's Northwestern Memorial Hospital discovered an infection in Perry's leg in early January after Perry attempted to refill his prescribed medications for diabetes and other ailments.
The doctors permitted Perry, 53, to attend the Bears' regular-season finale on Jan. 3, but only under the condition that he would return to the hospital after the game.
