Ebert Back in Hospital
Roger Ebert writes, “On Jan. 24, I’ll have another surgery, which I hope will solve some problems I’ve still been living with.”
He added, “I’ll be in hospital for awhile (nothing like last time, I trust!).”
Ebert spent most of summer 2006 in the hospital, at one point saying he didn’t remember months at a time. Describing those past surgeries, he wrote:
On June 16 [2006] they removed the cancer in my right jaw area, including a section of my jaw bone. It was successfully reconstructed. On July 1, I was packing to leave the hospital when my blood vessel ruptured. We have since learned that the rupture was caused by a breakdown of tissue surrounding the artery as a result of radiation treatments I had three years ago.
