Former actor and current radio host Danny Bonaduce is set to take a medical leave from his show. Bonaduce revealed that he will undergo brain surgery due to a recent health scare.
In a recent post to Instagram, Bonaduce said that he would take a ātemporary medical leaveā from his radio show. Bonaduce said that he will share more as he can, but in an interview with TMZ, revealed the surgery is an effort to recover from a mystery illness.
In the interview, Bonaduce has recently had trouble walking, and would spend his days speaking to āhundredsā of doctors trying to figure out what the issue was.
āMy life was talking to doctors. I had meetings with five doctors on one single day, and nobody could figure out what it was,ā Bonaduce said. āAnd I thought, āWell, this is a big deal. Iām falling down now. That canāt be good.āā
Bonaduce went on to note that he will soon undergo brain surgery. Doctors will drain some of the excess liquid in his brain with a shunt. From what heās been told, and if the hydrocephalus diagnosis is correct, he would have about a 50% chance of being better right after the surgery.
āFrom what I hear, if the diagnosis is correct and itās hydrocephalus, it will be 50 percent better right out [of surgery],ā Bonaduce said, noting that he doesnāt āwant to get my hopes up too much that Iāll be cured.ā
āUnfortunately right now, and I donāt mean to be a sorry guy, but I will be completely bummed out if this doesnāt work,ā said Bonaduce. āI canāt walk correctly. I just canāt. Ten percent would be great, but Iām going for a full-blown [fix]ā¦ Iām never going to run track, Iām never gonna box again, but if I can get from here to the kitchen on my own, bravo!ā
