KEY POINTS

  • John Stamos shared photos of himself with a smock over his hair, a black mask and a hospital gown
  • He said he got a "quick elective procedure" to correct a condition called trigger finger
  • The "Full House" star thanked the doctors and nurses who look after him during his hospital stay

John Stamos gave his fans an update on his health after appearing to spend some time in the hospital.

The "Full House" actor, 58, shared a series of selfies on his Instagram Story that showed him sporting a smock over his hair, a black mask and a hospital gown. In one snap, he appeared to be surrounded by medical wires. He also posted images of his hand with a bandage on the palm.

In the caption, Stamos assured fans that he is now "home happy" after an apparent stay in the hospital. "Damn you #Triggerfinger! Easypeasey #AllgoodHomeHappy," he wrote.

According to Mayo Clinic, trigger finger is a condition in which one of a person's fingers "gets stuck in a bent position." The finger may "bend or straighten with a snap — like a trigger being pulled and released."

Stamos explained in another post on his Instagram page that he "went in for a quick elective procedure" to correct the condition.

"In and out! Thanks," he wrote. "Thanks to the fine doctors/nurses for taking such good care of me. I’ll be up and drumming in no time. Thank you for the well wishes."

Stamos' post was flooded with comments from followers expressing concern and wishing the actor a speedy recovery.

"Prayers that everything goes on OK," one person commented. "Hope all goes well and you recover quickly," another wrote.

"Sending vibes for quick healing!!" added a third user, while another wrote, "Oh no! Hope you recover fast!! (P.S. You still look hot even in hospital attire)."

Earlier this month, Stamos opened up about his marriage and family life. The "Big Shot" star, who tied the knot with actress Caitlin McHugh, 35, in 2018 and shares 3-year-old son Billy with her, told People that even though he had always wanted to have kids, he thought having his own family wasn't in the cards for him — until he met his wife.

"This is my dream. I've had all my dreams true 100 times over. And this was the one last thing that I thought I don't know it's going to happen," he told the outlet. "And thank God, you know, [Caitlin] came around. And I attribute it to, you know, straightening out my life and being a better person and sobering up and stuff. And so when it came around, I recognized it immediately."

Stamos also spoke about how having a son changed his life and shared that they have their own morning routine.

"He says, 'Let's go in the kitch,' and he helps me make coffee," Stamos said. "Then he likes to come into my office and go through the drawers looking for treats. I call him King Stamo because he rules!"
