Robin Roberts made her return to Good morning america after suffering a wrist injury while planning to play tennis over the weekend.
The longtime host appeared on the show with a bandaged wrist. He only missed one day of work to heal his sports injury. His co-host George Stephanopoulos welcomed him and spoke about the accident.
“I don’t want you to get angry seeing that tennis on the screen,” he joked while talking about a paddle tennis segment. “I know you had a little stroke this weekend.”
Robin Roberts responded: “Oh no, no. You should have seen the other guy! I mean, I tried to make a hook.”
Explaining what really happened, Roberts said he had a small fall on the tennis court. “Maybe I’ll go for paddle tennis,” she joked. “Maybe that’s my sport.”
When asked how he was doing after the accident, Robin Roberts joked that he could “confirm or deny” whether he was taking painkillers. However, he did say that he was “seeing rainbows.”
ABC News correspondent Gio Benitez chimed in with some words of encouragement for Robin Roberts. “I know it’s been very painful, but listen,” he said. “Nodboy makes the cast look cuter”.
Robin Roberts reveals that this is the first time she has suffered a fracture
In a post on Instagram, Robin Roberts opened up about her wrist injury. She noted that it was the first time she had broken a limb.
“All my years as a competitive athlete, my first fracture,” she declared. “And I hope mine too.”
Robin Roberts, who previously played basketball at Southeastern Louisiana University, also shared an inspiring message: “When your time comes, doors will open, freedom will come, time will heal, healing will appear, good breaks will find you.”
Roberts has had his fair share of health problems over the years. In 2007, she underwent chemotherapy after being diagnosed with breast cancer. She then underwent a bone marrow transplant for myelodysplastic syndrome in 2012.
Last year, Robin Roberts stated that her past health problems brought her closer to her now wife, Amber Laign.
“We hadn’t been dating for even two years when I was diagnosed with breast cancer,” Roberts shared. “She could have abandoned herself at the beginning of the relationship. “No one would have blamed her.”
The couple met in 2005 during a blind date arranged by friends. Laign continued to be at Roberts’ side during his health problems.
“It was so organic,” Roberts shared. “It’s just the aura around her. She is very kind. She’s really very kind and very genuine, you know? It’s not about being anything other than who she is.”
