SEATTLE, WASHINGTON: Danny Bonaduce who underwent brain surgery gave his fans an update about his health condition. In a tweet in response to a TMZ article detailing his recovery posted on Tuesday, June 6, the 'Partridge Family' alum wrote, "I lived, bitch."

A day before Bonaduce's comment, his wife Amy Bonaduce whom he married in 2010 tweeted to share that the television personality is recovering following the brain surgery on June 2. "It’s been a long day but I just wanted to let you guys know that Danny’s surgery went according to plan and he’s doing well," Amy tweeted.

Bonaduce said he visited '100 doctors' before the diagnosis

The radio personality shared that he received a diagnosis of hydrocephalus, a neurological disorder that affects the brain. "My life was talking to doctors. I had meetings with five doctors on one single day, and nobody could figure out what it was. And I thought, 'Well, this is a big deal. I’m falling down now. That can’t be good,' " he said.

Bonaduce said that before the neurological disorder was diagnosed, he met with "100 doctors" and it remains unclear why the ailment began. "I can’t figure out what caused it, 'cause I’ve done so many stupid things on reality TV shows. I took a guitar to the head. That hurt and was possibly the cause of all this. I got punched in the face by Jose Canseco, a 265 lb professional athlete. And by the way, I didn’t hit the floor," the 63-year-old said, according to Page Six.

'I will be completely bummed out if this doesn’t work'

The procedure for Bonaduce's surgery included the placement of a drainage port and a stent in his brain. "From what I hear, if the diagnosis is correct, it’ll be 50 percent better right [away]. But I’d rather be safe than sorry. I don’t wanna get my hopes up too much that I’ll be cured. I will be completely bummed out if this doesn’t work. I can’t walk currently, I just can’t," Bonaduce previously stated.

In April 2022, the former wrestler took a leave from 'The Danny Bonaduce & Sarah Morning Show' on iHeart Radio where he worked as a host and later took a break when his health declined. "I was afraid I was gonna lose my job every single day. I thought, 'Well that’s it. They’re not gonna tolerate this anymore 'cause I missed a fair amount of work. What they did was, they put a studio — a small one — in my house," he said.
