Tuesday, December 03, 2024 - American actor and film producer, Danny Pintauro has revealed that he underwent emergency surgery after he was injured in an accident while riding on a scooter.
The “Who’s the Boss?” star said that the accident happened on
Thanksgiving night but his symptoms escalated the next day, according to a post
on his Instagram page, where he shared photos and video clips of himself hooked
up to IVs and breathing tubes in a hospital room.
Pintauro revealed that he initially suspected that he’d broken his arm
but when he began having significant chest, stomach and shoulder pains that
caused him to have trouble breathing, his husband took him to the hospital.
It was then that they discovered he had developed an infection in his
bloodstream due to a tear in his stomach.
“It was the worst moment of my life,” Pintauro wrote. “It’s been the
most excruciating pain I’ve ever felt in my whole life.”
He shared that he underwent emergency surgery overnight, which “went
well” and has eased his pain. Pintauro also said that the nurses and doctors
extubated him after the procedure.
“They always say this but it’s very true, if I had waited any longer, I
could’ve died,” he wrote. “My body was the one who told me something was
absolutely wrong. My wonderful husband Wil drove me here and has been by my
side for the whole thing.”
Pintauro went on to thank the doctors, nurses and the surgeon who
performed his surgery, who he wrote have all “been wonderful.”
“This is my first major surgery, first emergency surgery EVER but I kept
it together. It was absolutely terrifying,” he wrote.
Pintauro added that his arm wasn’t broken after all.
As a child, the actor played Jonathan Bower from 1984 - 1992 in the
television sitcom “Who’s the Boss?” with Tony Danza, Judith Light and Alyssa
Milano. More recently, Pintauro appeared in “The Secret Life of the American
Teenager” and the TV movie “A Country Christmas Harmony
