“Getting a lot of messages so just to let ya know I’m all good,” wrote Larry the Cable Guy at the start of a statement posted to his social media accounts on July 26.

Revealing his diagnosis, he wrote, “I had major stomach pain and turns out I had appendicitis. It was removed and after 2 days in the hospital I’m home and recovering.”

Continuing, he humorously wrote:

“Pretty sore but vitals good, my butt looks fantastic and now just taking stool softeners which is giving me an urge to go to my mom’s assisted living facility and play bingo with the gals.”

Wrapping up his post, Larry said he wasn’t sure about “who ratted” him out, but offered, “I appreciate all the nice notes.”
