The longtime comedian and actor was hospitalized in Lincoln, Nebraska last week. Doctors diagnosed him with appendicitis. He spent a couple of days in the hospital before heading home to recover.
"Getting a lot of messages so just to let ya know I'm all good," Larry posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. "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.
"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. I appreciate all the nice notes.
"I don't know who ratted me out down there but this is the most press I've received since we announced lightning racers on Disney Jr coming in September! Love all ya'all."
