On Instagram, the actress shared a bare-faced selfie while lying down in her hospital bed at the Makati Medical Center.

"Reminiscent of the '80s, including my hairstyle, when I've been confined last if I recall correctly.

"Nonetheless, I enjoyed my stay knowing I was in great hands and was super taken care of.

“I am now rebooted and given a clean bill of health along with a new pair of knees ready to face the next marathon of this new chapter of my life. THANK YOU ALL #onward," she writes.

Reminiscent of the 80's , including my hairstyle, when I've been confined last, if I recall correctly. Nonetheless, I enjoyed my stay knowing I was in great hands and was super taken care of. From admissions, Joan and Monica , who were so gracious, my round the clock nurses, Aaron, Ria, Cheryl and Aika to my amazing top notch Drs! Starting with ortho DR Marc Castro, my admitting doctor as I went in for a meniscal tear surgery. And with the rightful insistence of Dr Martin Manahan , my gynecologist , I went in for further tests. So now that I mention my very thorough gastroenterologist, Dr Liboro, you might as well guess what else I came in for. And finally to my cardiologist, who cleared me for surgery, Dr Wensceslao, and lastly, but NOT the least my anesthesiologist , Dr Aypa! (Yummm) Let me not forget Louis and dra Corpus at the ultrasound dept and the vampires who sucked out vials of my blood. Apologies if I can't Recall your names but you prick pretty good I have to say. And to all the kind fellows and residents who came to visit with clear explanations and reassurances. You guys are amazing! Deeply grateful ! And to all of you who sent me their concern and loving well wishes ... you know who are... I love you guys . Most especially to my parents who gave me moral support , to one of my bff's Tessie Tomas who came to visit , to my dearest @bianca.rogoff who checked in on me and chatted for a bit while she caught her plane back to NY form studies in Amsterdam and finally to Dianne, my loyal PA who undyingly and tirelessly stayed by my side every second . I am now rebooted and given a clean bill of health 🙏🏼 along with a new pair of knees ready to face the next marathon of this new chapter of my life THANK YOU ALL #onward Ps and to @MMC thank you for the care, the facilities and top notch doctors This is the longest post I ever written! Because #healthiswealth guys ! BUT at the end of the day.. love and laughter is still the best medicine 🤣

Fellow StarStruck council member Heart Evangelista, daughter Bianca Rogoff, and former sister-in-law Gina Alajar shared their happiness to see Cherie back in full force.

According to the Penn Medicine of the University of Pennsylvania, a meniscus tear happens when the force and degree of twisting can tear some wedge-shaped cartilage that provides cushioning between the thigh bones and the shin bones.

It is common among athletes and if left untreated may need surgery to restore full knee function.
