Allison Langdon pens heartfelt message from her hospital bed
Ally Langdon has promised Today viewers that she will be back on-screen "soon" in a personal message written from her hospital bed.
The host of the breakfast show is currently recovering from a knee injury in a Sydney Hospital.
Langdon injured her right knee after landing badly while filming a segment on the Gold Coast last Thursday.
The journalist revealed she won't be able to bear weight on the injured leg for five weeks.
"I have a nice amount of metal in my knee now and have to wait a further five weeks before I can put any weight on my right leg," she wrote.
"Patience has never been a strength of mine so let's see how we go."
She thanked viewers for their messages of support, which has helped her through "the rough time".
"I've been overwhelmed by all the lovely messages and just want to say thank you for all the love," she said.
"I can't believe what looked like a pretty innocent fall has resulted in such drastic injuries."
She revealed her eldest child Mack figured out a clever way to see his mum.
"Little Mack, who turned four last month, told his daycare yesterday that he hurt his leg and thought maybe an ambulance should take him to hospital so he can get it fixed with Mummy," she said, adding that she misses her two kids terribly.
"Hopefully I'll head home tomorrow though as I am desperate to hug the kids," she said.
"COVID rules mean they haven't been able to visit me in hospital. It's unfortunate but I understand why the rules are in place."
Langdon finished by thanking journalist Leila McKinnon who has been filling in for her over the past week.
"Thank you to the gorgeous Leila McKinnon too for stepping in and doing an amazing job in the chair," she said.
"I texted her on the first morning at 3 am to see how she liked the early alarm as it can be a real shock. The response was something like 'you owe me Langdon'."
"Leila I really do. From the bottom of my heart I mean it - thank you.
"I'll see you all soon".
