I was really looking forward to it, so I’m sorry.”
“I hope you have a wonderful weekend and hopefully I’ll be joining you in the near future and get to see you all soon,” the Emmy-nominated actor added.
While he didn’t specify what type of knee surgery he had, most surgical procedures carry a risk of developing deep vein thrombosis, or blood clots, if the person flies too soon after surgery. According to the National Institute of Health, some surgeons advise waiting up to three months to fly after some types of knee surgeries.
