Katie Price’s ex Dane Bowers in hospital as he tells fans about ‘complications’ after seven-hour surgery
KATIE Price’s ex Dane Bowers has updated fans from his hospital bed about ‘complications’ after a seven-hour surgery.
Back in August, the Another Level singer revealed he needed to have a “very serious operation”.
On Thursday, Dane, 46, took to Instagram from his hospital bed to share an update on how his spinal fusion went.
He said: “So I had my surgery yesterday, luckily enough I didn’t really have much pain, obviously I had this morphine drip thing that I could press the button for and I’ve not used it.
“I used it once right at the beginning to see what it felt like I guess, but I’ve not used it which is good.”
But the singer – who wore a hospital gown with a piece of white material tucked into the neckline – then explained something was wrong with his neck and chin.
He said: “I have this thing here on my chin which needs to be seen to, which is why I’m talking a bit weird, it’s all numb and it’s from where my face was down.
“My surgery was seven hours which is quite long. And it’s sort of seeping as you can see…disgusting.
“So I think I’m having a dermatologist and some sort of skin doctor come to see, but that’s the only sore bit really.”
Dane – who dated Katie between 1998 and 2000 – then revealed he had managed to get out of bed and stand up with a physiotherapist and used a walker to do some steps around the ward.
He added: “My back is sore when I move but I’m not particularly in pain. I did have a bit of cramping in my good leg but otherwise not too bad.”
When Dane shared the news of his upcoming surgery last month, he said: “I got a second opinion and I am glad I did, because it’s pretty much changed what I am doing.
“Bad news for me, I do need to have a very serious back operation. I need to basically have a fusion”.
Spinal fusion is a procedure which sees two or more vertebrae joined together with metal rods, cages or screws.
