Kin Shriner is on the road to recovery.
The General Hospital alum, who left the show last year, revealed that he is in the midst of rehabilitation after a "botched" surgery on his foot last year left him unable to walk.
The Port Charles actor then went on to thank fellow General Hospital alum John Stamos for finding him the correct doctor to fix it.

Per the Mayo Clinic, in an ankle fusion, "a surgeon roughens the ends of the damaged bones and then fastens them together with metal plates and screws. During the healing process, the damaged bones fuse together into one combined bone."
"So for six months, I basically couldn't walk," Kin went on, before revealing: "So then John Stamos, my good pal, sent me over to his guy at Cedars Sinai. He redid it."

"I'm getting attendance records at this Powerhouse Gym. You gotta get it back. Something goes wrong, you fix it. Or you try to. Anyway, that's what I've been up to," he further shared.

"Had subtalar fusion 18 months ago at HSS NY. It's a tough recovery!" one wrote, as others followed suit with: "Prayers going up for quick recovery," and: "This 50 plus year fan misses [your General Hospital character] Scotty & wants to send you healing thoughts for your foot! I also miss you so much on General Hospital," as well as: "Most people don't know how horrible of an injury this is to recover from, especially since it takes away your mobility. Wishing you a blessed recovery. Hang in there."
