The Maxie Jones actress took onto her Instagram stories to tell all her fans that she has gone through brain surgery. That is also the reason why she was wearing a neck brace. Posting the stories on June 4, she stated that she hasn’t spoken about this, but she went through brain surgery about 48 hours ago. She had this surgery on the lower part of her brain.
Speaking of this, she emphasized and took the opportunity to clear that she doesn’t have cancer. Storms stated that she wants to clarify it before everyone on the internet goes crazy with rumors. She had a huge cyst that had split into two. So, she had to undergo this surgery. Storms revealed that the cyst was so full of pressure that when the doctors opened up her skull, they could notice it.
Kirsten also revealed that she was in the hospital after this operation. However, she is discharged now. Her real-life BFF, Emme Rylan is taking care of Kirsten until she gets a nurse. Emme played the character of Lulu Spencer on General Hospital. However, now Lulu is in a coma away from the canvas. After Kirsten made all this clear, she also revealed that she will be on a break until she is okay. However, she will get back to work after all this is over. By the end of the story, Kirsten said that she feels like sh*t. So, she will now go.
Kirsten Is Thankful
After updating her fans about the surgery, Maxie portrayer Kristen took onto Instagram to post a picture and tell everyone how thankful she is. Kirsten thanked everyone for all the wishes she has received in the past few days. Then she clarified the facts about what and how everything happened. She revealed that over the years, she had been dealing with random health issues. However, recently she had an MRI done for her neck pain. And after the MRI, they came to know about the cyst in her brain. She also thanked all the doctors who helped her remove it.
The actress felt blessed for her family, friends, and her work family, who have been kind to her and supported her through the whole journey. Storms said that work was a wonderful place to be for the two months when she was preparing for this surgery. She found comfort being around people she has worked for so many years so. The actress also revealed that the doctors had to shave a part of her head for this. So, no one should comment on this if they don’t like her hair. It’s just temporary.
Not leaving her humor behind, the actress stated that she believes that these new plates in her brain will give her some special abilities. Like she might be able to knit the sweater she is working on in one day. Or one hour, maybe? After this post, most of the Storms’ friends, family, co-stars, and fans poured love for her.
