Panthers owner Richardson released from hospital
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson has been released from the hospital 12 days after undergoing a heart transplant.
Richardson left Carolinas Medical Center on Thursday after quickly regaining his strength following the surgery on Feb. 1. A team spokesman said Richardson has responded well and will continue to be monitored by doctors.
The full recovery period takes between three and six months.
The 72-year-old Richardson had a history of heart problems and was placed on the heart donor list in December. He had the transplant on Super Bowl Sunday in a five-hour procedure.
