Emmerdale's Lisa Riley gives health update after injury: "It's been horrendous"

Summary: Emmerdale star Lisa Riley recently shared an update about a painful injury. She slipped off a breakfast stool and badly hurt her left thumb, tearing a ligament called the UCL. She had to get surgery and said the wound looked like a "dog bite." Even with her injury, she managed to fly to New York City just four days later wearing a special, expandable cast. Now in her fifth week of recovery, she is hoping to get the cast off soon and start physical therapy. She recently joked on the TV show Loose Women that her bright cast perfectly matched her outfit and the set!
