   Buffy’s Nicholas Brendon Is Undergoing Spinal Surgery.  Girlfriend Launches   
   Fundraiser to Help Pay for Costs Amid Show Scandal   
      
      
   By Johnni Macke February 15, 2021   
      
   Road to recovery. Nicholas Brendon announced on Monday, February 15, that he   
   is having spinal surgery after a slip earlier this month.   
      
   “If you’re somewhere impacted with ice, be careful,” Brendon, 49, wrote   
   via   
   Instagram on Monday. “With a rare condition and a slip a week ago, I’m   
   having spinal surgery in 1 hour.”   
      
   The Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum shared a photo of his hospital room,   
   revealing that his girlfriend, Sarah Allison, will be updating his Facebook   
   page during his surgery. “May you be happy, may you be healthy, and may you   
   be safe,” he added.   
      
   Allison told Brendon’s social media followers that the actor had to go under   
   the knife alone, due to a “serious winter storm and a bit more” that kept   
   her from being there with him.   
      
   “Nicky doesn’t half ass anything so I’m sure he’s going to kick butt   
   and be   
   in recovery soon,” she wrote on Monday. “Thank you all, for all the love &   
   support. For the few who need to hear it, please don’t stress us out with   
   hateful judgmental comments. Everyone do yourself and everyone a favor by   
   replacing your typical negative self-talk and comments with positive,   
   loving, and encouraging ones. We all deserve it. 💚 NickyB Team.”   
      
   “I’m so seriously just overwhelmed and upset with not being there for   
   Nicky’s   
   surgery and the fact he has so much financial stress hanging over the both   
   of us and he needs to just focus on being well and recovering,” she wrote on   
   “Nicky’s Don’t Stress & Recover Fund” page on Monday.   
      
   Allison explained that the couple was working on having their car brakes   
   replaced and paying down Brendon’s storage bills before the fall.   
      
   “He’s looking at 4-5 days recovery in ICU after his surgery,” she wrote.   
   “Sweet man says he’ll be back to finishing the fence in no time. But sweet   
   boy is also clumsy boy who has two broken phones and only broken tablets now   
   he can’t even hardly keep the camera going although the mic is impossible to   
   keep on.”   
      
   The Kentucky native continued: “His mental health is as important to me as   
   his physical health is and if he’s not able to listen to Bob’s Burgers   
   throughout his duration in recovery, with the blinding lights, the   
   confinement to a bed/facility, and being stuck without his daily activities   
   which keep him at ease staying busy, IDK how he’ll make it without trying to   
   leave.”   
      
   The fund, which has a goal of $5,000, has already raised more than $3,500   
   within the first few hours of its creation.   
      
   “I know everyone’s having hardships right now, but if anyone can help out   
   towards this, I know the burden will be eased for him,” Allison continued.   
   “And I in this time when our focus should be on his recovery and keeping him   
   from a financially impacted depression, because sadly there’s little keeping   
   his brain from it.”   
      
   She noted that there is a stigma surrounding celebrities and their wealth   
   but pointed out that the pair have “nothing coming to help during this   
   time”   
   without any supplemental insurance. “So please if you can, thank you, if you   
   can’t thank you still because we love and appreciate every single one of you   
   and wish you happiness, health, and safety,” she concluded.
