Allison Langdon shares a health update from her hospital bed

Allison Langdon is currently recovering in hospital from a knee injury.

And on Wednesday, the Today show co-host shared a health update with her loyal viewers via Today’s official newsletter.

‘I have a nice amount of metal in my knee now and have to wait a further five weeks before I can put any weight on my right leg,’ she wrote.

‘Patience has never been a strength of mine so let’s see how we go.’

The broadcast journalist also thanked her fans for supporting her during her downtime.

‘I’ve been overwhelmed by all the lovely messages and just want to say thank you for all the love,’ Allison wrote.

‘I can’t believe what looked like a pretty innocent fall has resulted in such drastic injuries,’ she added.

The blonde beauty underwent knee surgery on Monday after injuring herself while filming a segment for the Today show.

She hurt right knee after landing badly on a swimming platform on the Gold Coast.

Her colleagues Karl Stefanovic and Leila McKinnon updated viewers on her current condition on Tuesday.

Leila, who is filling in as co-anchor this week, said: ‘A big shout-out to Ally this morning. Hopefully she’s back on the mend after her operation.’

Karl added: ‘I spoke to her last night. She seemed pretty good. 

‘Again, she was pretty under the influence of whatever they have after an operation. But she was going okay.’
