Abby Lee Miller says she’s on the road to recovery.
The former “Dance Moms” star took to Instagram on Saturday, June 30, to update fans on her health after undergoing a second spinal surgery. She underwent emergency back surgery in April after being preliminarily diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma.
Miller posted a graphic photo showing her scar and the stitches in her back and wrote, “After the 2nd surgery, my back is finally on the mend. I just wish the top section & bottom would hurry along too. I had 52 staples perfectly aligned and now a bunch of crazy stitches are holding my neck & lumbar region together! #abbyleemiller #abbylee #dancemoms @hoomanmelamedmd #aldc #aldcla #spjne #disc.”
Earlier this month, the 51-year-old TV personality also revealed she had to have another “quick little emergency surgery.”
“After another 2 hour MRI this morning, the pros thought I needed one more quick little emergency surgery!” she captioned a picture of her arm in a hospital bed with an IV. “Ugh! I’m in recovery now and texting so everything must be ok, just hiccups in my plans!”
