Kate Gosselin did a TikTok live from her hospital bed on Sept. 30 at 8:30 p.m. EST. The mom of eight underwent surgery after her dog Meika ran into her at full speed, fracturing one of the bones in her leg.<\/p>\n
The former reality star, 50, was rushed to the hospital after suffering the medical emergency. Earlier in the day, she took to TikTok<\/a> to ask fans for prayers<\/a>.<\/p>\n “Please pray for me tonight and tomorrow. I will be fine, but I\u2019m scared and would appreciate your prayers,” she captioned a post. After undergoing surgery, Gosselin popped up again on TikTok<\/a> with an update.<\/p>\n “Update: I had surgery this morning and have five pain meds on board (top 3 most painful surgery),” she wrote. “I am not in a position to go into the details now but only bc I can’t focus. I did well. Details coming soon. CANNOT thank you enough for all your prayers! Love you guys!”<\/p>\n During her TikTok live, Gosselin answered questions from fans and took advice of items that she might need during her recovery, ranging from pillows to a shower chair. While chatting into her phone, Gosselin was accompanied by her boyfriend.<\/p>\n Gosselin, who is currently living in North Carolina and working as a nurse, recently revealed that she’s in a relationship<\/a> and has been for “a little over a year.” It didn’t take long for media outlets to report that Gosselin was dating her former bodyguard Steve Neild<\/a>, whom she was rumored to have had an affair with while she was married to Jon Gosselin.<\/p>\n During her TikTok live on Sept. 30, Gosselin accidentally called her boyfriend by his first name, “Steve,” which got a rise out of her fans.<\/p>\n Gosselin recently joined TikTok and has already had a few of her posts go viral.<\/p>\n \u201cHi, guys!
