Great news but sure would be nice if every second of all NFL broadcasts didn't discuss this all day, all week.
Bills' Damar Hamlin back in Buffalo to continue recovery.
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin was released from the University of Cincinnati Medical Center on Monday after spending almost a week in the hospital following suffering cardiac arrest on the field at Paycor Stadium.
Hamlin flew from Cincinnati to Buffalo on Monday and is being transferred to another hospital. He will continue to receive treatment as he continues to recover. He has met a number of milestones on his journey to recovery, per doctors at UC Health, and has been up with physical and occupational therapy, walking the unit and tolerating a normal diet.
The team of doctors at UC Health continue to be "ecstatic" about his recovery.
Hamlin's return comes a day after he cheered on the Bills from his hospital bed during their regular season-ending 35-23 win over the New England Patriots. The game proved to be a cathartic outpouring of support for the Bills and Hamlin.
The Bills wore No. 3 Hamlin patches on their jerseys and honored their teammate by raising three fingers in the closing minutes, while tight end Dawson Knox celebrated his touchdown by forming his hands into the shape of a heart. Hamlin responded on his Twitter account with a heart message directed toward Knox.
Fans joined in, with many holding up red heart and No. 3 signs.
The 24-year-old Hamlin has made significant progress in his recovery since spending his first two days at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center under sedation and breathing through a ventilator.
He was awakened on Wednesday night and was eventually able to grip people's hands. By Friday, Hamlin was able to breathe on his own and even addressed the team by videoconference, in which he told the Bills, "Love you boys.''
The NFL showed support for Hamlin during all Week 18 games by including a pregame moment of support, painting Hamlin's No. 3 on the 30-yard line and pregame shirts with "Love for Damar 3.''
Hamlin's heart stopped on Monday night after making what appeared to be a routine tackle in the first quarter against the Bengals. The game was initially suspended before officially being canceled later in the week.
How can this be thought he was already dead.I believe Damar Hamlin is already dead. Or brain dead. The fact his vitals "returned to normal" means absolutely nothing. The insertion of a breathing tube means he can't breathe on his own!
The NFL has obviously been told he is dead/gonna die but don't know what to do because the hit is about as innocent as it gets. They know players like Cole Beasley and Aaron Rodgers wont stay quiet, so now they've issued this GUTLESS gag order.
Oh what fucking fun times we live in, don't we? Brought to you by Pfizer!
Nuremberg 2.0!!
Agree.
It was picked up by the national corporate media and made to be a narrative, ESPN and the NFL of course led the way, and has been way way way overdone for a reason.
Once Hamlin was clearly in possession of his brain functions, the narrative should be ended, another football player "out".
Bills' Damar Hamlin discharged from Buffalo hospital.
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- After more than nine days in two hospitals, Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin was discharged from Buffalo General Medical Center/Gates Vascular Institute, the team announced Wednesday.Hamlin is now back at his home in Buffalo with his family. He went through a series of comprehensive medical evaluations as well as a series of cardiac, neurological and vascular testing on Tuesday.
Dr. Jamie Nadler, critical care physician and chief quality officer at Kaleida Health, which runs Buffalo General, and the care team lead for Hamlin, said in a statement: "We have completed a series of tests and evaluations, and in consultation with the team physicians, we are confident that Damar can be safely discharged to continue his rehabilitation at home and with the Bills."
Bills coach Sean McDermott said that they will leave it up to Hamlin when he would like to return to the team facility.
"His health is first and foremost on our mind as far as this situation," McDermott said. "And then when he feels ready, we will welcome him back."
Hamlin had been at the hospital in Buffalo since Monday after he was released from the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. He spent almost a week at the hospital in Cincinnati after suffering cardiac arrest during the first quarter of a "Monday Night Football" game between the Bills and the Bengals. The game was initially postponed after Hamlin collapsed on the field and then canceled days later.
Hamlin, 24, was flown to Buffalo on Monday and admitted to Buffalo General but entered the hospital in stable condition. The team at the hospital in Buffalo was tasked with "identifying any possible causes of the event, potentially treat any pathology that may be found, as well as plan for his recovery, discharge and rehabilitation," according to a release from Kaleida Health, which oversees the hospital.
Hamlin was joined by his parents, Mario and Nina, and his 7-year-old brother, Damir, at the hospital on Tuesday. His brother was unable to visit him in the ICU in Cincinnati due to rules to prevent the spread of flu and RSV, according to Bills general manager Brandon Beane.
In the days after he suffered cardiac arrest, Hamlin received support from all over the world with millions of dollars being donated to his GoFundMe toy drive as part of his Chasing Millions foundation. The 2021 sixth-round pick out of Pittsburgh has prioritized giving back to his community in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania, and in Pittsburgh, and being an example for kids there. NFL teams showed their support for Hamlin in a variety of ways, including with blue-and-red stadium lights, T-shirts with "Love for Damar" and moments of prayer and celebrations of his recovery.
Bills players returned to the field Sunday for the first time since Hamlin's cardiac arrest with their win over the New England Patriots, but the focus of the game was all on Hamlin, with players wearing jerseys with "3" patches on them and the Bills' medical and athletic training staff recognized before the game. Fans throughout the stadium supported Hamlin with signs, while players held up three fingers throughout the game.
While Hamlin returns home, the Bills are practicing with him in mind as they prepare to face the Miami Dolphins.
"I feel really good about where [Hamlin's health and well-being] is though, and the fact that he's home with his parents," McDermott said. "And for us -- as Damar's dad has said to us multiple times and Damar has mentioned as well -- they want us to go do our job, and that's what we've got to do."
Why didn’t
@BuffaloBills
or
@nfl
provide heating to the suite provided to #demarhamlin ?? After his #ImmaculateRecovery shouldn’t they have provided a comfortable and climate controlled environment? Why did he have to wear -40 degree Arctic-Wear throughout game? #NFL #NFLPlayoff
Cmon......do you really have to be a conspiracy theorist,(aka the mofos who keep being right) to realize that none of this shit makes any sense....
If the dude has made a complete recovery and is is A-ok then why the shenanigans?
But I guess that many people cant keep a secret right....that is your constant and unwavering proof of why everything is just as they say it is...
I mean even Fkin Kenny was more identifiable than Damar
