Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews says he has been given the all clear to return to work on Monday 28 June.
“I am looking forward to it,” said Andrews in a short media release over the weekend.
The Premier said he had another round of scans and a meeting with his care team at the Alfred last week and got some good news.
“The broken vertebra has almost fully healed and they’re letting me take off the back brace that I’ve had to wear for the last three months.
“The six broken ribs will take a while longer to finish healing and doctors tell me that between the ribs and getting used to not having the brace on, the next couple of weeks will be a painful adjustment,” he said.
Overall, Andrews said he was feeling good.
He thanked his wife Cath and the kids and the nurses, doctors, ambos and physios for all of their care.
He also expressed gratitude to Acting Premier James Merlino for stepping in to lead the government and the state through a really difficult time. “He’s done an amazing job,”, said Andrews.
Finally, the Premier offered a special thanks to the tens of thousands of Victorians—especially all the kids—who’ve sent cards and letters and emails.
“Your kindness and concern is the best medicine—thank you so much! Being Premier is a great honour. I cannot wait to get back to work, fit and healthy—and getting things done.”
