Bindi Irwin shares heath update from her hospital bed as she recovers from emergency surgery after doctors made an alarming discovery
Bindi Irwin has shared a sweet message to her fans from her hospital bed as she recovers from surgery after undergoing an emergency appendectomy on Saturday. The celebrity conservationist, 26, posted a photo to social media showing her lying in a hospital bed with IV tubes in her nose and captioned it with a message of gratitude. 'Thank you so much for your lovely messages. I wish I could reply to everyone,' Bindi began. She added she was very appreciate of the outpouring of public support as she focused on her recovery. 'Recovering. Tremendously grateful for your kindness,' she wrote. On Saturday, Bindi suffered a ruptured appendix and was raced into surgery just hours after touching down in the US for the annual Steve Irwin Gala which honours her late father. Taking to Instagram on Monday, Bindi shared another video from her hospital bed and revealed she is on the 'road to recovery'. She said while her appendix was removed, doctors discovered another 14 lesions from her endometriosis. These were also successfully removed. She also had a large hernia repaired which had developed after giving birth to daughter Grace, four, in 2021. 'I am so thankful that I got the help I needed with Dr. Seckin and Dr. Chu at Lenox Hill Hospital. After many months of a grumbly appendix, I finally had to seek help the day of our Steve Irwin Gala,' she captioned her post. 'After consulting with Dr. Seckin, we agreed that if I flew to New York, he could also check for endometriosis again. Surgery was a success. 'My appendix was removed, along with another 14 lesions (after having 37 endometriosis lesions and a cyst removed two years ago). I also had a repair to a large hernia I acquired through childbirth four years ago.' Bindi said she is grateful to be on the mend and thanked fans for all their kind messages. She also praised her brother Robert for hosting the gala and thanked her husband Chandler, daughter Grace and mum Terri for 'always being there'. 'And rest assured, I'll see you at the next Steve Irwin Gala in Brisbane this November. One day at a time. Time to heal now. Sending my love to you all,' she added. Robert told People magazine on Saturday that Bindi was recovering after being raced into surgery. 'She's going to be okay, but surgery - out of all the things we were ready for, that was not one of them,' Robert explained. Terri also missed the event while accompanying her daughter to hospital and staying by her side through surgery. Robert explained that Bindi had been suffering some pain in the lead up to the gala but had tried to soldier on. 'She came to Las Vegas and was ready to put on a brave face. She said, "I'm just going to tough it out." 'But the surgeon told her, "Your appendix is going. It's got to come out."' Both Terri and Bindi missed the gala, which raises fund for their organisation Wildlife Warriors, but Robert was able to attend, where he shared the grim news.

Bindi Irwin's emergency surgery took unexpected turn forcing her to miss Steve Irwin Gala
Bindi Irwin is recovering after an unexpected surgery that forced her to miss the annual Steve Irwin Gala over the weekend. Days after the 26-year-old was forced into emergency surgery after showing signs of "discomfort" and "pain," Irwin took to social media to share details of the procedure. "Hey, guys. Bindi here. I just want to say thank you so much for your incredible well-wishes," Irwin, who was lying in her hospital bed, said in an Instagram video shared on Monday. "I just got out of surgery about an hour ago. I had my appendix removed. I also had 14 new endometriosis lesions that had to be removed, and they kindly stitched up my hernia," she added. "Sorry if I'm a little out of it in this video, but I just wanted you to know that I'm on the road to recovery, one step at a time. I am so lucky to have so much love in my life from my beautiful family." In the caption, Irwin thanked her medical team before revealing the details of her emergency surgery. "I am so thankful that I got the help I needed with Dr. Seckin and Dr. Chu at Lenox Hill Hospital. After many months of a grumbly appendix, I finally had to seek help the day of our Steve Irwin Gala. After consulting with Dr. Seckin, we agreed that if I flew to New York, he could also check for endometriosis again," she wrote. "Surgery was a success. My appendix was removed, along with another 14 lesions (after having 37 endometriosis lesions and a cyst removed two years ago). I also had a repair to a large hernia I acquired through childbirth four years ago." "Thankfully, I am on the road to recovery. I appreciate all the kind messages I've received, and the support for our Gala in Las Vegas," she continued. "Credit to Robert for hosting the evening, he did such an incredible job raising funds and awareness for Wildlife Warriors. And thanks to my family for always being there for me. I have so much love for dear Chandler & sweet Grace. Thank you to Mum for being there with me every step of the way. And rest assured, I'll see you at the next Steve Irwin Gala in Brisbane this November. One day at a time. Time to heal now. Sending my love to you all." On Saturday, her brother Robert Irwin revealed that Bindi underwent immediate surgery due to a ruptured appendix. "She's going to be OK, but surgery – out of all the things we were ready for, that was not one of them," Robert told People at the event in Las Vegas. "She's just come out the other side of endometriosis and now the appendix goes. Health is so important – it really is. Bindi has become an incredible advocate for women's health, particularly, and I think it's really important to prioritize getting help." "She came to Las Vegas and was ready to come to the gala, put on a brave face in a lot of discomfort and a lot of pain and said, 'Nope, I'm just going to tough it out, I'm going to go for it,'" he added. "But the surgeon said, 'No, your appendix is going. That thing's gotta come out.' Health has to come first. She's very sad. She's devastated that she and Mom can't be here, but I know she'll make a speedy recovery." In 2023, the mom of one revealed an endometriosis diagnosis that also required surgery. "My life now looks completely different than it did before I had my surgery," Irwin told Fox News Digital at the time. "Over the 10 years that I was really battling with endo[metriosis] without knowing it, I would get progressively worse every week and in the end, before my surgery, I was barely able to get out of bed." Irwin, who described the pain she experienced as a "stabbing feeling" and "really scary," revealed in March that she had endured the painful condition for 10 years and struggled for a proper diagnosis.

Bindi Irwin breaks her silence after being hospitalised as doctors make alarming health discovery
Bindi Irwin has broken her silence after being rushed to hospital in Las Vegas on Saturday. The conservationist, 26, suffered a ruptured appendix and was raced into surgery just hours after touching down in America for a gala honouring her late father Steve. She shared a video from her hospital bed to Instagram on Monday and revealed her surgery has been a success. Bindi said her appendix, along with another 14 lesions, were removed. She also had a large hernia repaired which she got after giving birth to daughter Grace, four, in 2021.

Readers sound off on hospital closures, attacks on universities and climate costs
Manhattan: Re 'Invest in health care to invest in NYC's future' (op-ed, April 30): The loss of Beth Israel Hospital is catastrophic for lower Manhattan. The proposed Lenox Hill Hospital expansion is not the solution. In this century, approximately 20 New York-area hospitals have closed, mostly in low-income neighborhoods. On Manhattan's East Side, where Lenox Hill is located, there are now more than 10 beds per 1,000 residents. With the Beth Israel closure, a 180-bed Presbyterian Hospital affiliate located on William St. is the only hospital south of 14th St., where 400,000 people live. That is 0.5 beds per 1,000 people. Residents of Chinatown, Tribeca and Battery Park now have no hospital. The Health and Hospitals Corp. fails to regulate the distribution of new beds. More beds in upper Manhattan will not solve this problem in the rest of the city. Lack of medical insurance with resultant unpaid hospital bills is one major reason for hospital failure in low-income neighborhoods where many people are uninsured, have Medicaid or Medicaid Expansion and are thus in jeopardy of losing their insurance. There is an excellent solution, the New York Health Act, now pending in the state Legislature. If passed, this act would provide appropriate health care for all state residents. Voicer Mia Molano published a passionate plea for this legislation. Were this bill enacted, virtually all New Yorkers would receive better health care at a lower cost than is currently available. Dr. Marc H. Lavietes, former secretary; Physicians for a National Health Program, NY Metro chapter Staten Island: There's a new mom at Northwell Staten Island University Hospital and she's not on the maternity floor. Meet Mother Goose, who gave birth to a clutch of goslings just outside the Lois & Richard Nicotra Heart Institute. In a touching twist of nature and nurture, she's chosen to nest her babies beside the newly installed heart sculpture that expresses 'Good Health is Everything'! We had been anxiously awaiting the goslings' birth for the past month. As our clinical teams care for patients on the inside, this devoted mother is quietly warming hearts just outside. I also just found out Thursday was National Mother Goose Day — talk about a crazy coincidence! Jillian M. O'Hara Staten Island: Mayor Adams has not made an attempt to hire school safety agents. Why? These are the men and women who protect our children every day. They are true unsung heroes. Their numbers have waned. The reasons are too numerous to mention. The agents are a division of the New York City Police Department. The police commissioner should be in the mayor's office at least twice a week or more to get a reason why the mayor has not hired more agents. Or does the commissioner not care about the safety of students? Agents need to be replaced to protect our students, teachers and all staff. Mayor Adams, find money to hire them. Jeffrey Van Pelt Brooklyn: Recently, I had to call a car service for an appointment to see a podiatrist. The address was on Sheepshead Bay Rd., and while there are many businesses north of the bay at Emmons Ave., the driver told me it was west of Ocean Parkway in Coney Island. The driver was right and I was wrong. I agree that while it is an inconvenience to change a street or avenue of a geographic location, this can only result in duplication, which results in mass confusion. One street and/or avenue is enough for any borough or city. Any more creates limitless problems for the post office and the general public. Elliott Abosh Astoria: You're better than this, or at least should be. Regardless of how anyone feels about Thursday night's Knicks game, the Knicks won. That's a fact. I came on your website looking for the game and the only article I could find is an opinion piece from your best Knicks writer about how they're not ready for the Celtics ('Brunson pops the clutch!' May 2). While his opinions may be on point, that's an article for Monday. Where is the article about the game itself, about what happened in the first quarter and beyond? Is the article buried somewhere online? If so, it shouldn't be. C'mon, be better. John Warren Whitestone: President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, have you gone mad? A deal with President Trump is a deal with Russia! Why don't you just cut out the middleman? Robin Mazzia Bronx: Trump lied to us about who started the Ukraine war. It was his pal Vladimir Putin who started it all. Trump has been kissing Putin's butt for a long time. He owes Zelenskyy a big apology, but the liar king will never apologize to anyone. I support Ukraine. I'm glad Zelenskyy stood up to Trump. Doris Festante Larchmont, N.Y.: I find it hysterical that Trump is now blaming Joe Biden for the drops in both the stock markets and GDP. It was just a year ago that Trump was taking credit for the economic boon during the Biden administration because he said everyone was excited about him winning the election. My understanding is that Trump also blames Biden for the Lincoln assassination. Evidently, Joe, being as old as he is, happened to tell John Wilkes Booth that Abe and Mary changed their minds about going to Ford's Theater that night! Steve Michaud Wellfleet, Mass.: As the cost of living continues to jet along with the financial markets being hammered, I imagine I'm not the only senior citizen who isn't retired, just tired. Mike Rice Patchogue, L.I.: I have been watching the news showing all the slashing and cutting of jobs and closing agencies by the Trump administration. Trump says he wants to cut waste, but what he really plans to do with this money is give his billionaire friends a nice, fat tax cut, and any crumbs left over will go to the rest of us to try to placate us. Time to contact your representatives and senators, especially the Republicans, and tell them to step up, do their jobs and actually represent us. Lynda Welsh Hamilton Square, N.J.: Our universities have always attracted the best and brightest from all parts of the world. Most often, they remain and add their talents in all areas, especially science and medicine. Trump's absurd reaction to anyone not white or born here will ultimately diminish all of us. Eileen Johnson Waltham, Mass.: Harvard University's internal report confirms that the campus schools most committed to humanistic values —education, divinity, public health and government — are also among the most hostile environments for Jewish students. This moral failure demands urgent reform. As the largest funder of American higher education, the federal government has both the right and responsibility to use its resources to enforce compliance with Title VI and other nondiscrimination laws. But rather than cutting off all university funding, much of which supports essential scientific research, it should apply pressure precisely where violations are most severe. The White House must not act with blunt force but with precision. What's needed is not a wrecking ball, but a scalpel: targeted, principled intervention that addresses antisemitism in the departments where it is most deeply entrenched. Rachel Fish Manhattan: To Voicer Terry Hansen: Yes, former Senate Budget Committee Chair Sheldon Whitehouse has repeatedly confronted his colleagues with his climate chart that reads, 'Time to Wake Up.' You cited his warning that rising home insurance costs will imperil our housing, and then financial, markets. He's also cited the Potsdam Institute's warning that the world's current level of fossil fuel use, without rising, will cause annual damages of $36 trillion by 2050. This number does not include the cost of individual emergencies, like hurricanes, floods and wildfires, that would be increasing annually in number and severity. Time to wake up, indeed! Every senator should be brandishing that chart. Thomas A. Caffrey Whitestone: If you can't forgive, you burn the bridge over which you must pass. Sally DeFelice
