“Very lucky”: Samuel Johnson gives health update from home
Actor Samuel Johnson has shared his latest health update from home after he was hit by a car over a month ago.
The former Home and Away star shared details from the incident and a message for his supporters via his charity Love Your Sister’s Facebook page.
“Woot, I’m home!” his post began.
“So, I got into a dust-up with a small white vehicle, and lost badly! Huge props to the gang at Ambulance Victoria, VicPol, The Alfred and The Epworth for putting this Humpty back together again.
“Won’t bore you with all the medical stuffski, suffice to say I’ve been surrounded by a gang of experts, including the Occupational Therapist, who says it’s OK for me to go back to work on ‘light duties’ today!” Johnson wrote.
“Full recovery is within my grasp, I’ve just got a lot more work ahead of me.”
The 43-year-old said he has to spend the next four weeks in a neck brace.
Johnson ended the message saying he is “very lucky to be OK”.
Having seen the “difference that medical research can make” first-hand, the star is encouraging his followers to “lend [him] a hand while [he’s] getting better” and support his charity Love Your Sister, which raises money for cancer research.
Johnson and his late sister Connie, who suffered from several forms of cancer throughout her life, started the charity in 2012, with the goal of raising $10 million for cancer research.
