Cambodian-American bodybuilder Kris Dim suffered an aortic dissection in the gym last week.  It is reported that he also had a stroke before going into surgery to repair the aorta.  Although doctors gave low chances of survival, Mr Dim is now awake, communicating with visitors, and walking around.  

I can only imagine that the pain of experiencing such an event and surgery must be excruciating.  The Muscular Asian Woman salutes Kris Dim for beating the odds!

The MAX Muscle Gym in Arden, California is taking up donations to assist with Kris Dim's medical expenses.  The contact information is as follows:


All the best to Mr Dim and his family!
