Chris Young is at home and improving after undergoing surgery to his left hand.
Young required the surgery after accidentally cutting his hand with a kitchen knife while preparing a late dinner after returning home from his fan club party late last week.
"Chris is resting," his mother posted on Facebook. "He has passed the 'keep it elevated for 48 hours' mark and can still move his fingers. They are all still looking good color wise. He will be in a soft caste for another two weeks, then in a hard caste for the next 4 after that (so 6 weeks total). I am not sure how long the stitches stay in - there are a LOT of them. His surgeon did a great job on the second surgery, and obviously we can't see the repair work due to the caste."
Young's publicist told The Boot his team are hopeful his doctors will clear him to return to performing this week, and young himself tweeted "So this weekend will be interesting . . . Shows while wearing a sling . . . #firstforme I won't be telling you guys to clap with me haha."
