Broyles to have more surgery Friday

Amy Broyles

Knox County Commissioner Amy Broyles will have surgery on Friday at UT Medical Center, according to a release from the commission office. She expects to be home by Monday, and will then "be keeping a light schedule during the month of April."

She notes in the release that her constituents can still reach her by phone and email.

"There are a couple of fairly routine procedures to help keep some chronic health issues in check," she said in the release. "I appreciate everyone's positive thoughts for me and kindness towards my family during these times."

I've talked to her about the matter and it's partially related to past surgeries, but I don't want to get into it as they've already been made public and I'll let her discuss them if she wants.

The Porch wishes Amy a successful surgery and full recovery.
