Neil Patrick Harris Has Surgery After Sea Urchin Incident

Neil Patrick Harris has shared a bit of a shocking story on Instagram this week. The actor revealed he had to undergo surgery after getting into an accident with a sea urchin on a recent family vacation.

On Instagram, he wrote that the accident happened a couple of months ago when he was in Croatia with his husband David Burtka and their kids.

"I tripped and hand planted onto a sea urchin almost two months ago while climbing rocky cliffs in Croatia," he wrote on Instagram. "Most of the tiny spines I dug out myself, but two refused to leave and one got infected."

Thankfully, the actor is now "urchin free" and recovering.

"Turns out it pierced through a tendon ... Well, thanks to the surgical talents of Dr. Dan Polatsch and his team, I'm officially urchin free and on the mend," wrote Harris.

He will still need to wear a hand contraption for now until he's fully healed. We hope he has a speedy recovery!
