After weeks of social media silence, Chrissie Swan has shared details of her “medical emergency” and admitted that she doesn’t know when she’ll be back to work.
In a video clip shared to her Instagram account, the radio personality who hosts The Chrissie Swan Show on NOVA, thanked fans for their kind messages of support.
“Hello as I live and breathe it is me!” the 52-year-old began.
“I have received so many messaged from you guys saying ‘Where are you? When are you coming back to the radio?’ and the truth is I don’t know.”
“A couple of months ago I had a medical emergency, completely unplanned as emergencies are, and I was in hospital for ages. Even that was weird for me because I’ve only ever been to hospital to have babies which is good news and this was certainly not that.”
Chrissie then revealed that she’s been resting at home with “lots of sleep, lots of reading, lots of sorting out the spice drawer, finally.”
“But today I feel the best I’ve felt in weeks/months so I thought I’d come on here and say thank you so much for your messages. As soon as I’m better, I will be back.”
“In the mean time cat content, other bits and pieces, thanks for all your beautiful messages.”
Chrissie captioned the video, “A little update from me (seizing the opportunity while the sun is shining and I am feeling … good?!?) Your messages have really warmed the cockles of my heart and I want you to know i have read every single one and that I am OK, and I am going to be OK. I am recovering. I am being very well cared for here at The Compound and as soon as I feel like myself for longer than an hour at a time, I’ll be back! Sorry to cause so much concern – it was a worry for me too. But I’m heading in the right direction.”
Fans flocked to her post to share their well wishes including Megan Gale, Ali Daddo and Brooke Warne.
Fellow NOVA radio personality Joel Creasey penned, “Miss your face and we are all missing you around the office. My toasties aren’t as good as yours xoxo”
Meanwhile former Real Housewives of Melbourne star Chyka Keebaugh said, “So good to see your beautiful face and that you are starting to feel better… Keep doing what you are doing and listen to the doctors!!!
Sending you so much ❤️ xxx”
When it comes to health, Chrissie has been open with her followers for years.
In 2021, the TV and radio star quit drinking alcohol calling it “the best decision I have ever made (and followed through) for myself.”
Celebrating 1000 days of sobriety in 2023, Chrissie said, “I don’t talk much about giving up the booze because it’s such a personal thing and not right for everyone.
“But on my 1000 day anniversary I know for sure it has been the right thing for me. So I’m putting this here for anyone who’s thinking that maybe drinking isn’t fun for them anymore.”
“I love being able to drive everywhere, leave places whenever I like, and especially going to bed knowing I’ve been the most authentic version of myself.”
In 2017, she also had to undergo an injection after doctors discovered bursitis in her shoulder – an extremely painful condition that affects the small, fluid-filled sacs that cushion bones and muscles in the joint areas.
“Sore shoulder. Verrrrryyyy sore shoulder. For a while now. But I ignored it, as you do,” she wrote on Instagram at the time.
