Ruby Rose Reveals She Has Recently Undergone Surgery

"Before I get seen with my cane and wheel chair in public, I’d rather put it out there"

Ruby Rose has just undergone surgery for a back problem that she’s dealt with “for years.” The actress shared the news with fans on social media today, along with photos of herself in a wheelchair (and a kick-ass ‘Strong Female Lead’ tee).

So..For the past few years (decade) I’ve been dealing with a spine issue,” Ruby wrote on Twitter. “I am now recovering from a back procedure, but I do need to stay active, so before I get seen with my cane and wheel chair in public, I’d rather put it out there that I’m fine and going to be fine.”

Ruby also shared a photo with her girlfriend, Jess Origliasso of the Veronicas, on Instagram.

The actress seemed to be in good spirits post-procedure, writing on Twitter that she was keen to hear suggestions from fans about some movies, shows and games to keep her entertained during recovery.

What I need to know now is when I’m not wheeling around LA like a 102 year old, what movies, shows, books and video games do you suggest… I’m buying a switch.. I’m looking at you  what games should I get?”

Wishing Ruby a healthy recovery… and may we suggest watching Lovesick on Netflix?
