Fans Rally Around Arnold
Arnold’s fans didn’t waste a moment in showing their support. Comments poured in with messages of encouragement. One fan wrote, “Get well soon Arnold! I am glad you are back???” Another added, “You’re a beast! Always fighting.” One follower even commented, “You are the strongest! Welcome back on track!” It’s a testament to Arnold’s impact on people’s lives that so many are rooting for his recovery.
What Happened During the Procedure?
On Thursday, March 29, Arnold headed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for a catheter valve replacement. However, complications arose during the procedure, leading the medical team to decide that open-heart surgery was necessary. This wasn’t a quick fix; the surgery lasted several hours. For those keeping track, Arnold had previously undergone an aortic valve replacement back in 1997. This latest surgery shows just how resilient Arnold is, both physically and mentally.
Arnold’s spokesperson, Daniel Ketchell, shared a touching moment from the recovery room. When Arnold first woke up, his first words were, “I’m back.” If that doesn’t sound familiar, it should—it’s a nod to his famous line, “I’ll be back,” from the blockbuster movie The Terminator. That’s Arnold for you, always bringing his signature charm and humor to every situation. We’re sending him our best wishes for a speedy recovery.
