Arnold Schwarzenegger is on the mend.

Following emergency open-heart surgery last week, the 70-year-old Hollywood superstar announced Monday that he is recovering from the procedure. Schwarzenegger had been undergoing a catheter valve replacement when the procedure hit some complications, which sent the actor into an emergency operation, according to a TMZ report.

 

 

Schwarzenegger tweeted about the procedure and his recovery, writing: “It’s true: I’m back! I went to sleep expecting to wake up with a small incision and woke up with a big one – but guess what? I woke up, and that’s something to be thankful for. Thank you to the doctors & nurses. And I’m truly filled with gratitude for all of the kind messages.”

Schwarzenegger previously underwent an elective heart surgery back in 1997.
