"Three's Company" star Suzanne Somers has revealed that she had to undergo neck surgery after she fell down the stairs at her home. The 73-year-old shared the news on Wednesday in an Instagram post explaining her sudden disappearance from social media.
"Thank you so much for all of your concern while Alan and I took a break from our normal schedule. As most of you know, I have been struggling for the better part of the year with a fractured hip, and then Alan and I took an unfortunate fall while coming down the stairs at our home," she wrote.
"I had an intense amount of pain after the fall that was not resolving — even after having tequila! After several scans, it was determined I had 2 vertebrae out of place which was causing pressure on nerves and creating that tremendous pain," Somers continued.
After undergoing a successful surgery, the actress is now on the mend.
"I need a bit more time to recover before I can join you again at the bar for our virtual cocktail parties," she added, thanking her fans for their love and support.
Earlier this year, Somers spoke about her fractured hip in an interview with Dr. Oz during which she joked that it was caused by "all that sex" she had been having with her husband.
"I had to stay in bed for six weeks, no moving," she said of her recovery, adding that they came up with the perfect way to ease the boredom. "My husband went to bed with me."
