Arrow's Colin Donnell Home After Appendectomy, Tweets About it

TV actor is doing well after having emergency surgery to remove his appendix earlier this week

Forget an arrow straight to his gut. It was more like a knife.

Colin Donnell, one of the stars of the CW's superhero action-adventure series Arrow, is recovering at home after undergoing an emergency appendectomy earlier this week in a Northern California hospital.

But not before giving his Twitter followers a full update.

"Home today thanks to the amazing staff of Queen of the Valley Hospital! After #Arrow Appendectomy," the 30-year-old actor tweeted Tuesday, along with a link to a goofy picture of himself in sickbay which he posted on Instagram.

Despite his ailment, Donnell managed to give a shout-out to his Arrow colleagues and fans and thanked them for their support.

"Even an Emergency Appendectomy can't dampen my spirits about there being all new #Arrow for y'all tonight. Thanks for all the well-wishes!" he wrote.

He also thanked the CW brass for sending "delicious get well milk & cookies" and the show writers "for my lovely get well flowers, I wasn't expecting the typo on the card though…KIDDING! Thank you!"

What a joker. We're glad to hear Colin's feeling better.
