Stand up icon Larry the Cable Guy revealed that he is recovering following being hospitalized. As reported by the Daily Mail, he was brought to the emergency room on Thursday, July 23.
His representative explained what happened to the outlet. "I can confirm that Larry was hospitalized with appendicitis. He was discharged today and is recovering well," he said. "He's in good spirits and feeling much better.
He was discharged on Saturday, July 25, and is currently resting at home as he gets better. That means he had spent two days in hospital battling the condition.
According to the Mayo Clinic, appendicitis refers to an inflammation of the appendix. The organ is a small pouch that's near the colon. It's quite a dangerous condition, which can cause severe abdominal pain.
The stand up legend, who's real name is Daniel Lawrence Whitney, lives on a farm in Lincoln, Nebraska, where he lives with his wife Cara and their children, 19-year-old Wyatt, and 18-year-old Reagan.
He lives quite the farm lifestyle, too - he breeds horses and tends cattle, and also helps Wyatt with his bull riding and rodeo hobbies. He also spends his spare time playing golf.
