Kathy Griffin shared a glimpse into her health with an update while recovering from a medical procedure.
Kathy Griffin is on the mend.
The comedian gave a "TMI" update on her life, sharing that she was hospitalized after undergoing a medical procedure.
"I spent the night in the hospital because I had complications from my colonoscopy," Kathy shared in her May 21 Instagram post. "I know, I know, very sexy but I am home now with the doggies where I belong."
Alongside the screenshot from her Notes app, the 65-year-old also shared a selfie in good spirits. She captioned the post, "A not so tech savvy update."
The Suddenly Susan alum hasn't shied away from discussing her health concerns publicly, including her 2021 lung cancer diagnosis.
"I'm about to go into surgery to have half of my left lung removed," she wrote on Instagram that August. "I have lung cancer even though I've never smoked! The doctors are very optimistic as it is stage 1 and contained in my left lung. Hopefully, no chemo or radiation after this and I should have normal function with my breathing."
She concluded her post, urging her fans to "stay up to date on your medical checkups" because "it'll save your life."
Although Kathy took the diagnosis in stride, it was still one she struggled to fully accept.
"Whether I like it or not, I think I'm a resilient survivor," she said on ABC News' Nightline at the time, "I was definitely in shock. I'm still a little bit in shockânot denial, but once a day I'll just turn to like, nobody next to me and go, 'Can you believe this s--t? Is this a b--ch or what?'"
But she was also looking at the silver lining, adding, "It's stage 1. It's nowhere else in my body. So I need to focus on that."
Luckily, three months later, Kathy shared a positive update on her journey.
"I'm cancer-free," she announced on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. "I don't know why I had a tumor. I've never smoked, and it was in there for 10 years."

You should be doing Cologuard and they will pay every three years and you can get it between those for $695. A non ocvered colonoscopy costs thousands.
The rest of the world is realizing that cancer comes from parasites and that the nicotine in tobacco, as well as medications like Ivermectin, remove the cancers. Cigarettes include a package of chemicals that cause the cancer.
If hit you with sufficient radiation and you get cancer. Did that cancer come from parasites?
My medicare advantage provider texted me that colonoscopies were zero copay. I replied they had to do better than that.Bwaaa!
