Matthew Perry revealed on Friday that he has been in a hospital bed for the past three months.
Last month, a spokeswoman for the Friends actor said he underwent an operation in Los Angeles for a “gastrointestinal perforation” and was “grateful for the concern and asks for continued privacy as he heals.”
“Three months in a hospital bed. Check,” the 49-year-old actor wrote on Twitter.

According to The Mayo Clinic, a gastrointestinal perforation means that a hole appeared somewhere in his gastrointestinal system, possibly from some other unrelated health issue or trauma.
The Mayo Clinic says that the whole thing can lead to various life-threatening infections if left untreated. Symptoms can include severe abdominal pain.
