Kate Gosselin gave fans a couple updates late in the day on Tuesday, revealing what was behind her hospitalization.
In her first post, she shared, "Update: I had surgery this morning and have five pain meds on board (top 3 most painful surgery). I am not in a position to go into the details now but only bc I can't focus. I did well. Details coming soon. CANNOT thank you enough for all your prayers! Love you guys! 😘."
In another post, she shared video of herself in the hospital bed, telling her followers she'd be going live later in the evening to give more details about her emergency.
"Meika, my puppy, ran into me full-speed ahead and I ended up with a tibial plateau fracture and surgery with plates and pins in my leg," she shared on the live," claiming the surgeon called it a "life-altering event."

Kate Gosselin is asking fans to keep her in their prayers.
The Jon & Kate Plus 8 alum took to her TikTok late Monday night to share a photo of her from the hospital, hooked up to an IV and a pulse oximeter.
"Please pray for me tonight and tomorrow," she wrote over the image. "I will be fine, but I'm scared and would appreciate your prayers! Thanks guys."
In the caption, she added, "Emergencies don't care about schedules! Please DON'T worry about me! Please pray instead! Please pray for me tonight and tomorrow? I'd really appreciate it! Don't worry, story time to follow when I'm able! Love you guys! I'll be back as soon as I can!"
One of her followers commented on the post, writing, "You are a strong woman who can do hard things! Praying to Jesus for your comfort and healing. ✝️😇" To that, Gosselin responded, "Thank you! I had to call upon that strength that I know I have deep down tonight! And I appreciate your prayers!"
Someone else wrote, "Sending love and positive energy! I hope you are okay! You are loved by so many❤" -- to which she replied, "Awww [omg] thank you."
Her hospitalization comes as Gosselin has been posting a lot of life updates to TikTok ... revealing last week that she's been dating someone for the past year or so.
When answering a fan asking if she's dating, Kate replied, "The answer to that question is actually, finally, yes! I am dating somebody for the past year to like, a little over a year, maybe like 15 months. I am super super happy. It’s somebody that I’ve known for a really long time and I am very very happy."
That sparked reactions from both her son Collin and ex-husband Jon Gosselin -- see what they had to say about her love life here!
