Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has updated Aussies on his condition after he slipped on wet stairs on March 9.
He suffered from broken ribs and a fractured T7 vertebra, but in a sweet Easter update, he let everyone know how he’s doing.
“Thanks for all your messages of support over the past couple of weeks. They’ve really helped to keep my spirits up in what’s been a pretty painful time,” he tweeted.
“I’m making steady progress and being diligent with my physio exercises.
“Also building up my walking and am up to about 18 minutes on my daily walk.
“If you’re giving, receiving, hunting, decorating or eating eggs today – enjoy.”
