GH'S KIRSTEN STORMS ON THE MEND AFTER BRAIN SURGERY

Kirsten Storms (Maxie) is on the mend and recovering at home after undergoing a scheduled brain surgery to drain and remove noncancerous cysts on her brain.

In a series of Instagram stories posted on June 4, she revealed, “I’ve not really spoken about this much, or at all, actually; less than 48 hours ago, I had brain surgery, hence the neck brace. It was on the lower portion of my brain. Emme [Rylan, ex-Lulu] is taking care of me until I get to my at-home nurse. It has been an interesting last couple of days.”

Rylan — Storms’s best friend and fellow knitting aficionado — was sitting in a car with Storms when she recorded her video message and jumped in to say, “I’m going to answer the question that you’re all thinking right now: Does she still like yarn? First thing I asked.” “Yes, I do,” replied Storms. Teased Rylan, “I was going to have them undo it all.” “Let’s see if I can speak a foreign language or something now,” Storms joked.

Storms went on to explain, “What they had to drain and remove was not cancer; I want to clarify that right now before the Internet, like, goes crazy wild with rumors about this. I had a very large cyst that had split into two and the doctor said it was, like, so full, the pressure was very noticeable when they opened up my skull.” She assured fans, “I will be on the mend for the next several weeks. I will be back at work when this is over with.”
