“I’m in immense pain, but I’m receiving painkillers and it helps me to sleep. I’m lying with a pipe in my rib cage to drain out the moisture that has formed on my lungs - which was caused by the broken rib,” Stransky told Netwerk24, confirming he will undergo plastic surgery.
On Wednesday morning, Stransky posted a picture of himself walking in the parking lot of the hospital, thanking fans for their support:
