In a livestream on Tuesday, the 50-year-old television explained her dog Meika "ran into me full-speed ahead," and she "ended up with a tibial plateau fracture." Ouch. According to Physio-pedia.com, this type of injury impacts a "critical load-bearing area in the human body." It is a serious injury - one that required Kate to undergo "surgery" to get "plates and pins in [her] leg." The Kate Plus 8 alum said the "opening line" from her doctor about how serious the situation was "that morning at 5 a.m." quickly "got [her] attention." He told her: "This is one of those things that is a life-altering event." Whoa. For now, Kate is recovering. She shouted out the "ice machine" for giving her cold therapy on her leg, though she is still dealing with a lot of pain: "My leg is really hurting, I'm going to need to say something. It's, like, unable to be ignored." The TLC personality noted she is on "five pain meds" before calling the operation her "top three most painful" surgeries ever. Oof.
