‘Today felt so good’ – Sky Sports presenter Anna Woolhouse shares swimsuit pic as she issues health update after surgery
ANNA WOOLHOUSE has shared a health update after undergoing surgery earlier this month.
The Sky Sports presenter, 41, underwent a laparoscopic operation for her endometriosis.
The operation was Woolhouse’s second in seven years for the condition.
At the time she revealed that she would be off screens for “two or three weeks”.
Yesterday, the popular host revealed that she has been back in the swimming pool as she steps up her recovery.
Alongside a picture of herself smiling in her bathing suit, Woolhouse wrote: “This fish is very happy to be back in the water.
“After not being able to do a great deal the last few weeks today felt SO good to be back in the pool.
“No big sessions yet and swimming/stationary bike are really all I can do atm, but one big thing I’ve taken away from not being able to do a great deal post op is how much we can take for granted what a privilege it is being able to move our bodies.
“I cannot wait to get stuck back into proper training and hopefully tick off a couple of big challenges this summer.
“Weight/strength training is still a couple of weeks off for me but when I can get back into it I promise I will never moan about a squat ever again.”
Upon revealing that she’d gone under the knife a fortnight ago, Woolhouse opened up on living with her condition.
She wrote at the time: “The comeback is always greater than the setback.
“It’s been quite the ride the past 7 days. Last week I had my second laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis in 7 years, it was done by the surgeon controlling a robot which blows my mind (avoid slide 2 if you’re squeamish!) it ended up being a slightly chunkier op than I’d bargained for but all ok in the end.
“March was endometriosis awareness month, I know I’m a couple of days late, but it’s important to still shine a light on condition that still isn’t known or spoken about nearly enough.
“It is a condition that affects 1 in 10 women and for so many even getting a diagnosis is a long, emotional and painful process and can be incredibly debilitating to live with.
“I was first diagnosed back in 2017 after years of endless GP appointments.
“I had my first surgery in 2018 and for a couple of years my symptoms did improve, but alas it came back and in recent years has resulted in some heartbreaking blows and ultimately meant having another surgery, really hoping this will be it.”
Woolhouse is primarily known for presenting Sky Sports’ boxing coverage.
She has worked at several Anthony Joshua fights for the broadcaster.
Just last month she presented coverage of Lauren Price’s victory over Natasha Jonas at the Royal Albert Hall.
Woolhouse also works on darts for the broadcaster.
She has presented coverage of the World Darts Champonship from Alexandra Palace.
