JoJo Siwa has a new accessory: an eye patch!
The “Dance Moms” alum posted a video on June 1 showing off the eye patch, joking, “Things aren’t going too well,” adding, “On top of this, I also have a concussion. I’m a mess.”
She also shared a peek at her reddened, irritated eye, as well as some progress photos of the infection.
Siwa explained she fell off her golf cart, which is how she got the concussion. She added that the eye infection is unrelated, but it is a “gnarly” case.
The 23-year-old is supposed to be on bed/couch rest for the next few days.
“It’s been a very long week,” JoJo added in the post’s caption. “With rest, my concussion has been recovering well. No where near 100 percent, but on a good track. My eye however, is taking longer than expected to come around.”
And while she’s in the care of a “lovely team of doctors,” Siwa admitted she’s also planning to do some rehearsal work for her upcoming tour.
“It’s definitely a bit early to be going back into everything and I have to be very careful of not being 100 percent recovered,” JoJo admitted. “But the greatest saying in Hollywood, which I’m realizing to be true, the show must go on.”
She concluded her update with a joke, saying, “If you see me with sunglasses on, just know, I’m not being a dramatic diva, just taking care of my eye giving it a bit of relief.”
Siwa has had a tricky health year so far. In December, she was rushed to the hospital after an ovarian cyst ruptured, but bounced back quickly.
