'Selling Sunset' Star Amanza Smith Is 'Back' After Month Long Hospital Stay

Amanza Smith is "back!"

The "Selling Sunset" star is up out of bed and easing back into her normal life after her month-long hospital stay and two surgeries.

In early June, everything quickly changed for the reality star who was battling a blood infection. She ended up being admitted into the hospital and having not one but two surgeries to clear her spine of the infection that antibiotics wasn't reaching.

She kept her fans and followers informed every step of the way and explained that her recovery would be a long one, but she never lost her positive attitude through it all and even tried to help lift others up with motivation during her health scare.

In one of her updates after being released from the hospital, she said, "Hopefully one day soon, I’ll be making a post and I won’t be in my pajamas, I won’t be laying on my sofa." And that day has finally come.

Smith updated her Instagram followers with a photo of her up off the couch captioned, "She’s back!!! Limited in my movement and pain still is excruciating at times BUT gratitude on a zillion for the breath in my lungs!!!"

Many of her followers left supportive and uplifting thoughts and well wishes for her in the comment section.

"Love this post! So happy you are better! ♥️🙏," one person wrote. Another added, "👏👏👏👏😍HURRAY‼️ So happy to see you are healing."

Others welcomed her back and reminded her how strong she is and how happy they are to see her feeling more herself.

In another recent Instagram post, Smith shares photos and a video of her day out with her daughter captioned, "Today with my baby girl! The second pic is all I was allowed to take of her! 😂🤯😫thank you Noah Layne for being the coolest sweetest daughter on the planet! I love you so much!"

"Looking great! So glad to see you up and in the mix!" one follower wrote in the comment section.

Another added, "So glad ur feeling mobile, well and able to go out and about! Blessings!!"

In early June, Smith shared what was going on with her social media followers.

"Over a month ago and all of this started I thought that I had a bulging disk or a slipped disc or something wrong with my lower back that was regular. I laid in pain in my house for several days. I cried. I took Tylenol. I went to urgent care. I didn’t know what it was but after over a month of excruciating pain I finally started to get some answers," her Instagram caption began.

"I got an MRI and a CT scan and then was told that I need to go to Cedar Sinai. I came to Cedar Sinai last Friday thinking that I was going to get another scan on my back and then go home. Instead, I was admitted and they immediately started testing me for things in my blood."

She continued to explain that a lot of the infection spread to the bones in her spine, called osteomyelitis, and that while she was on IV antibiotics to treat the infection, she was going to need surgery.

After the first surgery, a second, more risky surgery became necessary, but Smith handled it all in stride. A few days after the first surgery she shared, "I’ll be going in for my second surgery in the next few hours. Part of my spine has completely deteriorated due to the infection and I’ll be getting a new vertebrae and a couple of screws and rods in my spine to replace what has been eaten away from the bacteria."

The second surgery came with a longer recovery period, but after a month in the hospital, Smith was able to continue her recovery in the comfort of her own home.
