Uncle Si Robertson, the beloved star of the hit television show Duck Dynasty, is preparing for lung surgery after a challenging year and a half of health issues. Despite his upcoming procedure, the 74-year-old remains optimistic and promises to be back, filling everyone’s ears with his lively chatter, once the surgery is over.
Uncle Si has openly acknowledged that his own smoking history is partly to blame for his declining lung health and breathing difficulties. Coupled with his chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), his recent COVID-19 diagnosis in early 2021 was especially concerning.
During a recent episode of his podcast, “Duck Call Room,” Uncle Si admitted that he initially had reservations about seeking medical help for his COVID-19 symptoms. He was reluctant to go to the hospital and, even after being allowed to return home, refused to take his prescribed medication. Thankfully, with the support and encouragement from his loved ones and podcast collaborators, he eventually realized the importance of prioritizing his health and began to see improvement.
As the world continues to grapple with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Uncle Si’s journey serves as a reminder of the importance of seeking timely medical assistance and following prescribed treatments. Despite his initial hesitation, he now recognizes the value of taking proactive steps towards healing.
In May 2022, Uncle Si revealed his need for lung surgery to address his condition. He explained that the surgery would involve placing a device in one of his underperforming lungs, allowing it to properly exhale the necessary amount of air. Although surgery is on the horizon, there are still a few steps to accomplish before the procedure can take place.
Uncle Si assures his fans and supporters that once his recovery is complete, he will have countless new stories to share. Known for his entertaining tales, he promises that these stories will be at least ninety-five percent accurate, guaranteeing his audience hours of laughter and enjoyment.
Let us join together in sending our prayers and well wishes to Uncle Si Robertson as he prepares for his upcoming surgery. May he experience a successful procedure and a swift recovery, so he can return to entertaining us all with his larger-than-life personality and unforgettable stories.
