Shortly after McKenna Grace’s The Handmaid’s Tale character was hospitalized for ingesting poisoned chocolates, the actress underwent a medical procedure.
“It’s been one month since my spine surgeon, Dr. Skaggs at Cedars-Sinai, literally changed my life,” the I, Tonya actress, 16, captioned a Wednesday, November 9, Instagram post, sharing recovery footage. “Occasionally, life imitates art and the night my episode of Handmaid’s Tale where I was in a hospital bed came out, I was actually in a real hospital bed.”
Grace, who has a featured role as wife-turned-Handmaid Esther on the Hulu series, underwent spinal surgery.
“Social media only reflects what we want people to know-often we don’t see the ugly, hard, less-flattering sides of a person and their life. For me, it’s been easier to hide my struggles and insecurities and maybe write about them in songs, but that didn’t fix them,” she wrote in her social media upload on Wednesday. “I’m def going to elaborate more about all of this because my life and who I am and want to be was truly changed, but for now … I want to thank Dr. Skaggs and his team, his PA Morgan, his nurse Elaine and my incredible team of nurses (who deserve their own post later), my Mom & Dad who never left my side and my friends who showed me that they are here in the exciting/fun times, but would also be there in the absolute lowest moment of my life.”
The Ghostbusters: Afterlife actress‘ health update received support from her former costars and celebrity friends.
“So glad to see you up and recovered with your grace and humor intact. Sending ❤️❤️❤️❤️,” Ever Carradine, who portrays wife Naomi Putnam on The Handmaid’s Tale, wrote via Instagram comment.
