Allison Langdon has revealed she’s finally home from hospital after sustaining what she described as "drastic injuries" while filming a hydrofoiling segment for the Today show.
“So nice to get home to these two,” she noted on Instagram on Sunday, while cuddling her children Scout and Mack in bed.
Last week, Allison revealed in a Channel Nine newsletter that she had undergone knee surgery after landing badly on a swimming platform at Burleigh Beach, on the Gold Coast.
Dramatic footage showed her lying on her back in the water wearing a life vest as she was helped to shore by two men.
“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.”
She also thanked fans for their support.
“I've been overwhelmed by all the lovely messages and just want to say thank you for all the love,” Langdon wrote.
“I can't believe what looked like a pretty innocent fall has resulted in such drastic injuries.”
The reporter has been temporarily replaced on the Today show by Leila McKinnon.
In a statement a network spokesperson said: After nearly an hour of incident-free filming of a segment about hydrofoiling, Ally fell awkwardly as she headed back to the marina at the end of the shoot.
“It was an unfortunate accident, and she was immediately taken to hospital.
“As with every shoot, safety requirements, briefings and subsequent after-care, are strictly followed and prioritised.”
Prevention wishes Allison, who featured on the cover of our June/July 2020 issue, a speedy recovery.
