Karrion Kross posted an update on his shoulder injury on Instagram, indicating that he’s close to a return and could be back “any second.”
I have deliberately neglected to answer any questions about my health from fans since August 22nd for a variety of reasons.
I see them everyday though.
And the check in’s have been sincerely appreciated.However,
Today I will answer your question.I feel absurdly stronger now than I did even before July. I have not squandered this time away.
I have always been addicted to challenges and avenues of improvement since I was a small kid.
And I see no point in returning if I’m not coming back even stronger than I was to begin with.See you all again when the T I M E is right.
Which as you know… could be any second.
Or maybe when you least expect it.
