Joh Griggs shares positive health update

Joh Griggs has shared a positive health update for her fans, saying she is recovering well after undergoing surgery on her knee. 

The Better Homes and Gardens host shared a picture from a hospital bed, telling her Instagram followers that she is on the mend after the extensive surgery. 

She said the procedure was due to "years of damage", but she is now looking forward to being "pain free". 

In a lengthy caption, she wrote, "Not the most exciting pic I know, but I am happy to update that the surgery on my knee to clean up a couple of tears and years of damage went extremely well."

“Huge thanks to orthopaedic surgeon Dr Julian Yu who lived up to his legendary reputation, and to all the staff at Northern Beaches Hospital Sydney who looked after me beautifully."

“Enforced rest is a great way to start any holiday."

“I’m so happy to have finally had this done and look forward to being pain free (and whinge free) once again."

She concluded the post, saying, “Woohoo. This truly was an early Christmas present!”

Griggs also thanked her husband, Todd Huggins, for being her “hospital Uber driver” and added the hashtag #feelinglucky to her post.

The post was flooded with like and comments of well wishes, with her Channel Seven colleagues and loyal viewers wishing her a speedy recovery. 

“Sending love!!” wrote 7News journalist Abbey Gelmi, while TV personality Barry Du Bois added, “Get well soon Joh, Merry Christmas to you and the family.”

“Pleased it went so well!” one follower wrote. “Enjoy putting your feet up (even if enforced!)”
