Prayers are needed for “Duck Dynasty” star Uncle Si Robertson as he undergoes major surgery…
In his podcast Duck Call Room, Si spoke of his health and said that it started to decline ever since he contracted COVID-19 in 2021. He explained that the situation was alarming and that he didn’t think he would make it.
Both him and those close to him explained that Si didn’t do much to improve his condition as he refused to go to the hospital and later refused to take the medications prescribed to him.
Sadly, just as he thought he felt better, he experienced yet more health issues, this time, involving his lungs. As described in an episode of his podcast, Si could easily inhale, but hen he exhaled, one of his lungs did not function properly, so he was set to have surgery to implant a device that will allow the under performing lung to exhale the requisite amount of air.
“I had some tests in Houston,” Uncle Si wrote in a Facebook post. “There are a few more things we have to do, but it looks like I’m approved for lung surgery. Then I’ll be able to talk your ears off with even more stories, all guaranteed to be 95% true!”
As expected, his fans were there to send prayers and wish him a speedy recovery. “Prayers for your surgery and a speedy recovery may God Bless you Through all This I hope your family keeps us updated on how your doing you are one special gentleman,” a fan wrote.
Si confessed that most of his lung-related issues were due to the heavy smoking.
Finally, in September 2022, Uncle Si underwent the surgery and it turned out to be a successful one, to the delight of his family, frands, and his many fans.
In an Instagram post, Si wrote, “The doc says surgery went great. I’m ready to get back at it, Jack! Thanks for all the prayers and support. It means the world to us,” along with a photo of him on the hospital bed.
Recently, however, fans raised concerns about their beloved reality TV star after he made a post on May 27 in honor of Memorial Day, honoring those who lost their lives and fought for the country.
“I ask God to bless the families of the fallen who protected our freedoms with their last breaths. We are forever grateful for your bravery and sacrifice, and we owe you a debt we can never repay. God be with you all,” he captured the video.
What caught the attention of many was Uncle Si wearing an oxygen mask and speaking rather slowly than usual. As expected, fans wanted to know what was wrong with him and if he has been experiencing health issues.
“What are you doing on oxygen? You doing alright sir?” one person inquired. “Thank you for your service si. Everything ok? Your on oxygen,” another added.
Some of the fans were quick to respond, with one of them writing, “He’s been on oxygen for some time, he uses it more some days than others. He said its from smoking too many Winstons in nam.” Another fan added: ” Duck call room episode 11 from 3 years ago he had it on, you can see it on youtube.”
Another thing his followers noticed was that Uncle Si changed his appearance by shaving his beard on the sides, leaving a bushy goatee. He has also had a hair cut.
We truly hope Uncle Si will no longer experience health issues.
