“I’m back. It’s been a full week since my surgery. Recovery has been really great, for the most part,” he said in an Instagram video.
Amabile explained that he initially struggled with speaking following the procedure.
“I think I struggled at the beginning with speaking. Just like knowing what to say but not being able to say it,” he said.
He also experienced pain following the surgery but said his recovery had progressed enough that he was no longer taking prescription pain medication.
“But it’s been a full week. I’m off Oxy. I’m off all the painkillers. I take a few Tylenol here and there,” he shared.
Amabile also revealed that doctors had given him a “fairly good” prognosis. According to the reality star, doctors diagnosed him with a low-grade astrocytoma, a type of brain tumor.

She also confirmed that Joe had returned home to continue his recovery.
“Joe is [now] home recovering, and we’re so grateful to have been in such good hands,” she added.

Joe announced in July that he was preparing to undergo brain surgery, prompting an outpouring of support from Bachelor Nation fans.
Now, as he continues healing at home, Joe and Serena are sharing occasional glimpses of the journey while keeping the mood as positive as possible.
