The comedian was rushed to hospital on Monday after dislocating his shoulder while enjoying a day out on a Queensland beach, resulting in nerve damage and leaving him in excruciating pain.
‘Happy NY. Had my least sober NYE in 30+ years. Green whistle came after two hours of worst pain of my life, plus morphine and the rest of them,’ he wrote on Instagram.
‘Shoulder dislocation whilst surfing. 9 out of 10 level nerve damage’ he explained.
‘Shout out to wife, @surfersparadiseslsc, and GC medical professionals for their much needed help!
‘Will be in a sling for a while, not sure when my next right-handed high five will be,’ he continued.
