Dawn French has shared an update with her fans as she recovers in hospital following major surgery on her knee. The actress and comedian, 66, took to Instagram on Wednesday, 22 November to say she now has a "new knee" and is beginning the healing process. "It's done.
New knee is in. Now we start the healing...," Dawn captioned a photograph of her leg in badges as she lay in a hospital bed. Earlier in November, Dawn was forced to postpone her upcoming tour dates after suffering a setback with arthritis in her knee.
She told fans she would be undergoing surgery "sooner than planned" as the pain had become unbearable. The 66 year old told her fans: “Hello folks. It's with a massively heavy heart and furious that I have to admit defeat and postpone all of my remaining tour dates from tonight onwards.
My stupid selfish ol' arthritic knee has totally given up & won't let me walk. "I am swearing a lot. I am bereft to let you down.
Sorry. On the upside, I can have the op I so desperately need, earlier than planned. Ouch.
And sorry again. We are working hard to reschedule all the dates. Bear with…” Dawn suffers from rheumatoid arthritis in her knee, which she previously admitted had stopped her walking her dog "a long way".
