BOBO ON TWITTER

Peripheral neuropathy diagnosis

Colorado State football coach Mike Bobo, who was admitted to a hospital this past weekend, said Wednesday on Twitter that he was undergoing treatment for peripheral neuropathy, which comes as a result of damage to one’s peripheral nerves.

CSU announced Monday that Bobo, 44, was being evaluated after experiencing numbness in his feet during Saturday’s scrimmage.

That is one of symptoms of peripheral neuropathy, accord- ing to the Mayo Clinic.

Bobo took to social media Wednesday to give an update and express his appreciation for the care he has received.

Bobo said he has been in contact with his staff and is watching film from practice as the Rams prepare to host Hawaii in the season opener Aug. 25 at Canvas Stadium on the CSU campus.

Bobo’s update on Twitter, which also refers to his wife, Lainie:

“I want to express my sincere appreciation for the outpouring of care, concern and prayers that I and my family have received. Lainie and I, and our children, are extremely grateful for this support, and for the great medical care that I continue to receive.

“I am currently in the process of a multiple-day treatment for a peripheral neuropathy, and continue to be encouraged by the results of the ongoing medical testing.

“While I have been hospitalized, I have been able to remain in close contact with our staff and watch practice film in preparation for our season opener against Hawaii.

“I am excited about our 2018 Rams football team, and feel more confident than ever about the quality and commitment of the people in our football program. I am thankful for the hard work, focus and diligence they have continued to demonstrate while I have been away. I also appreciate the support from the athletic department, (athletic director) Joe Parker and Colorado State University. I am hopeful I will soon be back with them working to prepare for our season opener!”
