Surgery Goes Well For Danny Bonaduce

(TMZ/E! News) Bonaduce’s friend and agent Paul Anderson told TMZ the actor is expected to be released from the hospital in a few days and that he will then continue to rest at home for three to four weeks.

Bonaduce explained that he was going to have a shunt put in to drain the fluid and that he was hopeful the surgery could help with some of his symptoms.

“From what I hear, if the diagnosis is correct—that it’s hydrocephalus—it’ll be 50 percent better right out,” he added. “I’ll have a tube here, tube here and I’ll go, ‘Hey, I’m back.’ But, you know, I’d rather be safe than sorry ’cause I don’t want to get my hopes up too much that I’ll be cured. ‘Cause, unfortunately right now, I don’t mean to be a sorry guy, I’m not a sorry guy, but I will be completely bummed out if this doesn’t work.”

As Bonaduce later explained to Good Morning America, he’d started experiencing symptoms earlier that month, with his wife noting his speech seemed affected.
