The celebration follows the one-year anniversary of Valastro’s hand injury. A year after crushing his hand in a gruesomeaccident at his home bowling alley, the star toldTodayon Oct. 5 that while he “might have to get another surgery over time,” he’s healing.
Valastro, 44, injured his hand on Sept. 20, 2020, when his home bowling alley’s pinsetter malfunctioned. When he fixed the issue in the machine, his right hand became lodged in the machine and a metal rod impaled his hand three times between his ring finger and middle finger. Within five minutes, Valastro’s sons and brother-in-law,Joe Faugno, were able to free him using pliers and a saw.
Just two weeks after the gruesome accident, Buddy began practicingfrosting piping techniques with his non-dominant hand. Now, after undergoingfive reconstructive hand surgeriesand physical therapy, the baker’s health has steadily improved. He documented his journey on a TLC special calledBuddy Valastro: Road to Recovery,and even filmed the third season of his Food Network and discovery+ series with Duff Goldman,Buddy vs. Duff.
Buddy says that his family all lent their support to him throughout his recovery.
“They definitely stepped up to the plate,” Valastro toldEntertainment Tonightin July. “In times of crisis, you don’t know what people’s reactions are going to be. ‘How are we going to do this?’ ‘What are we going to do?’ We all came together and I am so proud of my boys and thankful to my whole family.”
