Country icon Brad Paisley's wife Kimberly Williams reveals major health update after undergoing surgery

Country star Brad Paisley's wife Kimberly Williams-Paisley has thanked fans for the flood of well wishes and spoke out about her surgery recovery after she underwent a laryngeal nerve procedure to correct ongoing issues with her vocal cords. 

Kimberly has previously opened up about her health challenges as she admitted that she lost her voice nearly two years ago while on stage at her annual Alzheimer's fundraiser in Nashville.

Just a few days ago, the 52-year-old Father Of The Bride actress revealed she underwent the lengthy surgery, which is said to take about five to nine hours, and made sure to let her fans know she was in good spirits following the procedure. 

After a successful surgery, the wife of the Remind Me hitmaker is now giving a special shoutout to her followers who stood by her side amid her health problems. 

She was all smiles as she took to social media to express her gratitude for 'all the love' she received from fans prior to her surgery.

In a post shared to Instagram, Kimberly looked as vibrant as ever as she donned a gorgeous blue sweater, a straw hat and a pair of black shades. 

The Hollywood heavyweight kept a scarf tied around her neck that covered up her scar.

In the caption, she admitted that she was doing 'really well' and waxed lyrical about her followers.

The actress said: 'Thank you so much for all the love and support following my last post. You reminded me of the power of authenticity, vulnerability and hope. I'm feeling validated and seen and ever more grateful. I read and responded to as many comments as I could and I'm still going! Thank you. I see you too.

'Recovery is on track and I'm feeling really good. With much love and gratitude, Kim.'

Over the weekend, she posted a photo of herself in hospital after the procedure and her scar, which she had drawn over to look like a smiley face. 

The actress admitted that she has had a 'challenging' couple of years and her voice never fully returned throughout this time.

'It's been a challenging couple of years, but we finally got to the bottom of it.

'I have damage to my laryngeal nerve. I tried everything I could to heal it (so thank you but please don't give me any tips!). I was finally able to have surgery this week,' the Nashville-based actress said. 

One 'bada** scar' along her neck later, Kimberly said she now sounded 'so much better.'

'I haven't wanted to share about this much until now because it felt too vulnerable. I took for granted my ability to "use my voice" before — for my career, for a good cause, for a timely joke, for self-expression, for a loud dinner part,' she shared.

'Instead, I've been the quietest in the room. I've felt meek. New people I've met thought I was a shy or reserved person. I've felt trapped in my body.'

Kimberly said she's undertaken 'all kinds of training,' and through bouts of 'shame and self-loathing' has been supported by friends, family and medical staff.

The mother-of-one then detailed what went into her surgery, sharing that she was awake for the three-hour procedure to 'plump up my paralyzed vocal cord so it hits the other one.'

The actress and country star tied the knot in 2003 and have been enjoying many happy years since

'I watched a lot of it on a video screen above my head as it happened and all I can say is modern medicine is miraculous' Kimberly joked.

Although she wasn't able to speak properly over the past two years, the actress said she's found her voice in other ways.

'I've healed old emotional wounds. I've learned the strength and beauty of silence. I've become a serious meditator. I'm deadlifting over a hundred pounds. I'm taking better care of my body. I'm managing stress. I'm dissolving shame. I'm feeling more whole, empowered and joyful,' she gushed.
