Local celebrity and former Voice SA coach, Bobby van Jaarsveld, has shared the not so glamourous news of his having had not one but two surgical procedures.
In a series of pictures posted on Instagram following his stay at the Wits Donald Gordon Medical Centre in Parktown, Johannesburg, he explained to his followers that he had undergone both vocal cord surgery and a hernia operation.
Bobby had to spend a couple of days in ICU – this is how things ‘went down’ for him: "We usually only share the good stuff. But not today. This is how my last two days in ICU have been. Crap, yes. Through all the pipes, catheter, plasters and pain (and to be woken up multiple times at night to have blood drawn and at 04:00 for tea – when I'm not allowed to have tea and can only lick ice – who has tea at 04:00?) I'm thankful that everything went well. I'm not allowed to talk or make a sound for the next 5 days, so I'm just reading. The hernia is fixed and now it's just the healing process. Thank you for all the prayers. #GoodIsHere #Hernia #Nissen #VocalChordSurgery" (Yes, we translated it for you)
Get better soon Bobby!
