This it! Another knee surgery, Abby says in a new video she shared on Instagram. Abby shared that shes had three knee surgeries before, but shes put off having a full knee replacement for seven or eight years. Well, her right knee is now getting a total overhaul.

Abby explained in the video that she meant to get her knee replaced sooner, but her busy work schedule kept getting in the way. It was always one more episode, one more season, another special, oh, we have nationals, she said. So, the time has come.

Abby said shes hoping for a robotic supersonic knee that will allow her to jump over building in a single bound. Hey, a girl can dream, right?

This knee surgery is actually a BFD for Abby. Shes been in a wheelchair since her cancer diagnosis, and she revealed back in June that she hopes to be walking by September after having knee-replacement surgery. "I've had two different therapists say there's no doubt," Abby said, in reference to walking again.

Abby Lee Miller's been candid about her health issues over the past year:

Knee-replacement surgery is no joke. While it's the most common type of joint replacement surgery, it involves removing parts of your natural knee joint and replacing them with artificial parts, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Afterward, patients may need to use a walker or crutches for up to three months to help them get around, the NIH says.

Abby hasnt shared any post-surgical updates, but she asked fans in her latest post to keep me in your prayers.
