Longtime KTLA weather anchor Mark Kriski provided an update to viewers and his KTLA family on Monday afternoon.
In a video posted to Instagram, Mark was smiling and in good spirits.
“Looking forward to getting back to work. I’m doing great, recovery is going fantastic,” he said.
He said he’s looking forward to returning to the KTLA 5 Morning News “as soon as possible.”
Mark then thanked his “village” who has helped him through his recovery.
“All my doctors, all my nurses, nurses assistants, physical therapists. The cooks- the food has actually been pretty good,” he continued.
He then thanked his wife, crime reporter Jennifer Gould.
“Boy, I couldn’t do it without her,” he said.
“Thank you everybody. Thank you for your support and well-wishes out there and thank you to my KTLA family. Number one, I’ll be back soon.”
The update comes just days after Jennifer announced that Mark is set to be discharged from the hospital this week, about two weeks after he suffered a minor stroke.
“Update: SOMEONE IS COMING HOME NEXT WEEK!!!” she posted. “We have a targeted date for discharge.”
Jennifer said Mark’s been doing physical, speech and occupational therapy and is “kicking butt.”
We have no word on an exact discharge date, but he is communicative, joking and in good spirits.
