Mac Wiseman breaks a leg

Mac WisemanIn show business the phrase “Break a leg” is used frequently to encourage a performer by wishing them good luck without saying “good luck,” which is considered bad luck.

Unfortunately, Mac Wiseman literally broke his right femur just above the knee recently. He was taken to Summit Medical Center in Nashville, TN, where he underwent surgery and I’m told he’s now recovering nicely.

Now he’s at Skyline in “Broken leg re-hab”. He’s telling jokes every 3 minutes as usual and has all the nurses in stitches most of the time.

They just love him.

His recovery is progressing nicely and I understand that he’ll be sent home sometime next week.

The Bluegrass Blog send our best wishes to Mac for a speedy recovery!
