“My eye however, is taking longer than expected to come around. I have a lovely team of doctors keeping a very close eye on me as I now am going to be back in rehearsals starting tomorrow.
“It’s definitely a bit early to be going back into everything, and I have to be very careful of not being 100 per cent recovered… but the Greatest saying in Hollywood, which I’m realizing to be true, the show must go on.
“If you see me with sunglasses on, just know, I’m not being a drama diva, just taking care of my eye giving it a bit of relief the patch I found after a few days to be a bit difficult with the concussion recovery so only wear it now if I need a complete light break!”
The American added: “Thank you for the lovely messages, I’ve been down the last few days dealing with this and feeling a little bit bummed but I’ve seen lots online that has made me smile so thank you for that”.

“I rolled over my back and the cart kept going, I’m VERY VERY lucky for how I walked away from this today. I am feeling okay, just sore.”
