Buddy Valastro’s hand has a notable recovery from last September

The “Cake Boss” star, Buddy Valastro, on Rachael Ray’s talk show said  that he has completed his fifth surgery on his hand last month and he is beginning  to feel like himself again. “I’m feeling good, my hand is coming along,” the renowned baker told the host.

The Food Network star’s hand was jabbed by a bowling pinsetter, as confirmed to Fox News at the time. It rendered Valastro’s hand to get stuck inside the machine, his spokesperson said.

“Unable to remove his hand, he can see a 1 and a 1/2 inch metal rod slowly and repeatedly impale his hand three times between his ring finger and middle finger,” the spokesperson continued.

“More than five minutes elapsed and he was still unable to remove his hand. His son cut him free from the machine using a reciprocating saw, which he used to cut through the metal rod, the spokesperson said.

However, Buddy updated his fans on his recovery, in December through  the TLC special “Buddy Valastro: Road to Recovery.” 

This Tuesday on Rachael Ray’s talk show, Buddy added, “I definitely have a lot more of my mobility back.” As a proof, he formed a first, then,  straightening his fingers to exhibit the change from last September’s bowling injury.“I have I would say about 75 percent of my strength back, so it’s coming along,” Valastro said in an optimistic tone.
