Mario Lopezis planning on going full “RoboCob!” for the 2019Emmy Awardsafter a successful bicep surgery.
TheAccess Hollywoodhost, 45, had to make a visit to the hospital after he tore his right bicep while “fighting,” Lopez saidin a video to his Instagram followers.
The father of threethen took his fans through his entire surgery process, starting with getting his blood drawn, admitting that even he is squeamish around needles.
“Oh hello! I don’t necessarily want to look at that,” a nervous Lopez said as a nurse took three vials of blood. “Okay here we go.”
From there, Lopez went in for electromagnetic testing — and got a scolding for trying to talk to the camera during the procedure — and then an MRI.
The next step was getting his arm brace ready.
“Getting fitted for my brace that I’m not supposed to take off no matter what,” he said in another video. “I’m going to wear it for three weeks, maybe longer. Now I gotta brush my teeth, shave, do everything else with my left hand. RoboCob!”
Then, finally, Lopez went in for surgery on Monday. He shared a happy,post-surgery updatesoon after, and promised fans that he’ll be back in time for theEmmy Awardson Sunday.
“I made it. I’m groggy as hell, but I made it,” he said. “I’ve got an Incredible Hulk hand, and they gave me some good painkillers, so I’ll be ready to go in like three days on the Emmys red carpet. I’m gonna ride a bike in like two days, I think. My wife took care of me though, she rocks. Love you honey.”
And on Wednesday, Lopez posted again and said that he’s improving.
“Day 2 here at the hospital. Feeling a little foggy but I got this [button] for the medicine and these wonderful nurses who do not wish to be revealed,” he said, laughing. “We’re having fun, I’m a bit foggy but feeling better with my green hand. I’ll be back soon, so thanks for checking in.”
“I might be bringing back the mullet,” he teased.
