Cherie Gil has successfully undergone knee surgery and assured fans that she is now “rebooted.”
The veteran actress gave an update after her meniscus tear surgery on Monday, Aug. 19, via Instagram where she posted a picture of herself in a hospital bed at the Makati Medical Center.
“Reminiscent of the 80’s, including my hairstyle, when I’ve been confined last, if I recall correctly,” she described the picture.
Meniscus tears, which affect knee cartilage, are common knee injuries among athletes and are more likely to occur as people age.
This is not the first such operation for Gil, as she said in a February 2018 GMA report that she had undergone meniscus tear surgery.
At 56, Gil has maintained a fit physique because of her active lifestyle. She told Metro.Style in an August 2018 interview that she goes to the gym, swims, runs and bikes, among other physical activities.
Gil was grateful to the hospital’s doctors and medical staff for the quality care and services that they gave her. She also thanked loved ones for making her feel loved and supported.
She said, “I am now rebooted and given a clean bill of health along with a new pair of knees ready to face the next marathon of this new chapter of my life.” /ra
