Amanza Smith is taking it one day at a time amid her recovery.
Two days after the Selling Sunset star revealed she was admitted to the hospital for an infection in her blood that had spread to her spine, she shared an update on her condition.
"I am in massive pain, but pain medicine is very wonderful when it kicks in because it helps so much," Smith said in a June 13 video shared to her Instagram Stories. "I'm healing, hopefully won't have to have another procedure."
The 46-year-old went on to detail the nature of the infection, noting that it is located at the higher portion of her spine.
"But it's at the front of the spine," she added of the infection's complicated placement. "So, the procedure or surgery they would have to do to remove it is quite risky...We may just try to see if it goes away with the antibiotics when they re-image my back in four weeks. But I'm hanging in there."
As the Netflix star shared in a message on social media June 11, she sought medical attention after experiencing pain in her lower back for over a month.
"I came to Cedar Sinai last Friday thinking that I was going to get another scan on my back and then go home," Smith said. "Instead, I was admitted and they immediately started testing me for things in my blood. Come to find out I had an infection in my blood that had caused a great deal of infection to be spread to the bones of my spine and it's called osteomyelitis."
The mom of two went on explain that she would have to undergo surgery that day, later confirming that the procedure went well.
"I'm back in my room, I've already gotten changed back in my comfy pajamas and I'm on the mend guys," she said in a follow-up Instagram Story video. "So thank you for all the well-wishes and prayers."
