Don Frye Back Home After AFib Scare Following Friend’s Intervention

He credits a longtime rival for alerting his daughter to get him treated.

Overview

  • Frye, 60, said he was hospitalized with atrial fibrillation after about three weeks of severe breathing difficulty.
  • Gary Goodridge contacted Frye’s daughter, who brought him to the hospital after he initially resisted seeking care.
  • In a video from his hospital bed, Frye reported oxygen saturation rising from about 96% to 99–100% as medications were adjusted.
  • He later posted that he had returned home and indicated doctors would continue to fine-tune his treatment.
  • Frye noted he had been shocked for AFib in 2016 and had remained largely symptom‑free until his health declined in recent months.
