Neil Patrick Harris is recovering from surgery after a sea urchin incident in Croatia two months ago.
“Most of the tiny spines I dug out myself, but two refused to leave and one got infected. Turns out it pierced through a tendon (see ultrasound video),” the 46-year-old actor wrote on Instagram.

Harris said his surgery on Tuesday went well “thanks to the surgical talents of Dr. Dan Polatsch and his team.”
“I’m officially urchin free and on the mend,” he wrote.
“Only drawback — having to wear this massive hand elevating contraption for the foreseeable future (see third pic). All in all, though, I have to say: uni is still delicious,” he wrote, attaching a photo of the device.
The How I Met Your Mother star went to Croatia in August with his husband, David Burtka, and their nine-year-old twins, Harper and Gideon.
At the time of their trip, Harris posted a video of himself jumping off a boat into the ocean in Croatia.
