Matthew Perry just revealed that he’s spent the last few months in the hospital after gastrointestinal surgery, tweet, “Three months in a hospital bed. Check.”

In a statement to People magazine, his reps said, “Matthew Perry recently underwent surgery in a Los Angeles hospital to repair a gastrointestinal perforation. He is grateful for the concern and asks for continued privacy as he heels.” 

As Healthline reports via People, a gastrointestinal perforation “occurs when a hole forms all the way through the stomach, large bowel, or small intestine. It can be due to a number of different diseases, including appendicitis and diverticulitis. It can also be the result of trauma, such as a knife wound or gunshot wound.” 

Three months in a hospital bed. Check.
