Michael J. Fox‘s is talking about his many health problems, including ones not generally known by the public. In a recent Town & Country interview, he revealed the astonishing story of a limb he almost lost.
“My hand got infected and then I almost lost it,” he said. “It was a tsunami of misfortune.”
The hand issue is just one of the problems he’s faced. He said he’s broken two arms, a shoulder, his orbital/cheekbone, and one of his hands. He also had surgery for a spinal tumor.
“One day I’ll run out of gas … Certainly, if I were to pass away tomorrow, it would be premature, but it wouldn’t be unheard of. And so, no, I don’t fear that.”
Fox has been battling Parkinson’s since 1991.
