In a recent social media post, WWE correspondent Cathy Kelley revealed some personal news — she underwent an egg freezing retrieval surgery.
The Friday Night SmackDown backstage interviewer revealed the news in her latest Instagram post. Kelley even shared a picture and video from her time in the hospital. In the video, she was under anesthesia and talking about her food order.
“Between egg freezing retrieval surgery, interrupted interviews, and a severe shortage of french toast sticks… it’s been a week!” Kelley wrote. “[I] wouldn’t have survived it without a care team who somehow pulled off a schedule that didn’t take me out of a single day of work and truly incredible friends who kept me (semi) sane throughout (especially [Lindy Lin] for weathering the anesthesia induced tears).”
It's unknown how much time Kelley may miss as a result of the surgery. Luckily, it appears the procedure went well, so hopefully she has a speedy recovery.
