Sara Bareilles Reveals She's 'Healing From a Minor Surgery' to Remove a Fibroid

— -- Sara Bareilles tweeted last week that she "took a few days off" from performing and now fans know why. The singer revealed on Instagram Wednesday that she's recovering from surgery.

The "Brave" singer posted a photo collage of herself smiling while wearing a hospital gown. The collage also included a snapshot of her mother, Bonnie Halvorsen, and sister Jennifer Bareilles.

Bareilles, 36, wrote: "So I have been healing from a minor surgery removing a fibroid on my uterus."

The Grammy Award-nominee went on to thank the hospital staff.

"Well, surgery sucks but helpers and families are amazing, nurses are angels, and doctors are wizards," she wrote.

Bareilles also shared what she's been doing while recovering.

"In the silence and solitude of the simple task of my body seeking it's healed state, I have become vigilant about what I am intaking. Physically and metaphorically," she explained. "Be careful about how much negativity and noise you heap on your plate. It comes in abundance, but there are other beautiful things at the buffet."

Bareilles continued, "The slow pace of my recovery has simplified my world in a way, and I am reminded to absolutely acknowledge the chaos of a very strange/surreal time in our country and on our beloved planet, but ALSO remember to come back into the room I'm actually sitting in. Celebrate what is good about that too."

Bareilles said she plans to "return with more patience and compassion and knowledge of 'Game of Thrones'" after recovering.
