Mark revealed in an earlier post that he would be spending some time in the hospital after undergoing surgical procedures, and has been documenting his time in the ICU ever since.
On his 17th day in the hospital, Mark shared his ‘daily survival kit’ and gave followers an update on his progress.
“This is my daily survival kit: Netflix, Kindle, Rubik’s Cube, radio… and donut bum cushion (just keeping it real ??),” Mark said on Instagram.
“Jokes aside, doctor happy with progress. It’s a waiting game as the body responds to the procedures they’ve done. Hoping just a few more days,” he added.
