Fans Are Wishing Neil Patrick Harris Well After Revealing He Required Surgery After Latest Vacation
We love and respect Neil Patrick Harris in *this* house.

So when the actor revealed he was requiring surgery on his finger after a Croation vacation with his family, we were shooketh.
We got especially concerned because it was just recently announced that NPH landed himself a role in the latest "Matrix" installment.
THAT'S RIGHT, BABY.
He'll be staring alongside Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss.

Warner Bros. announced in August that a fourth “Matrix” movie is officially in the works and is set to start filming in a couple of months.
Which is WHY we're hoping Neil's new injury doesn't cause any issues while filming!

Fingers crossed (no pun intended) that he has a speedy recovery and can start filming without a hitch.
Now let's back it up, NPH's dreamy Croatian trip happened two months ago!

NPH and his hubby David Burtka have such an adorable family I can't handle it!
The only thing you should take home with you after a European vacation is some jetlag and a few extra lbs.
NOT AN INFECTION.
Sadly, NPH didn't have such luck.

The actor posted a photo of himself in the hospital on Instagram yesterday, along with an ultrasound video of his injury.
"Had surgery today. I tripped and hand planted onto a sea urchin almost two months ago while climbing rocky cliffs in Croatia," he wrote.
How is he still so cute even in a hospital gown?
BTW if you've ever even so much as touched a sea urchin, you can probably guess how excutiating it must have been to fall hand-first on top of one.
I got chills just thinking about it.
It's bad enough that he hand-planted onto a sea urchin, but to make a bad situation worse, he got an infection from it.

Which is so rude, to be honest.
"Most of the tiny spines I dug out myself, but two refused to leave and one got infected," he explained.
Instagram | @nph
AH!
"Turns out it pierced through a tendon (see ultrasound video)."
Instagram | @nph
"Well, thanks to the surgical talents of Dr. Dan Polatsch and his team, I’m officially urchin free and on the mend."
"Only drawback - having to wear this massive hand elevating contraption for the foreseeable future".

"All in all, though, I have to say: uni is still delicious."
Friends and fans flooded his comment section, extending their sympathies.

His fellow How I Met Your Mother co-star and longtime pal, Cobie Smulders, sent her well-wishes.
Speaking of "How I Met Your Mother", this person joked that they were surprised to see NPH wearing sweatpants.

I don't think he will be suiting up anytime soon!
Here's another hilarious "How I Met Your Mother" reference.

Whenever Barney Stinson starts feeling sick, he stops being sick and starts being "awesome instead."
That show really never gets old.
Some fans find this injury to be a unique one.

I suppose out of the countless reasons there are to have surgery, this one wouldn't necessarily be high up on the list.
I rate this pun 10/10.
Instagram | @nph
This person deserves way more recognition for coming up with this one.
It was simple, tasteful, and perfectly executed.
Well done, @thefabulouskjg.
This person suggested that NPH eat as much uni as he can to avenge his finger.
Instagram | @nph
That'll teach those sea urchins not to mess with him ever again!
Get well soon, NPH! We hope your hand feels good as new in no time.

Sending our thoughts, prayers, and healing vibes!
