Jimmy Barnes has updated his fans on the status of his recovery, weeks after undergoing multiple procedures including open heart surgery.
The Australian rocker, 67, took to X (formerly Twitter) on Friday with a photo of himself posing merrily on the edge of his bed while tucking into a pastry.
One of his arms was bandaged, with a tube extending from inside the gauze.
'Week 5 since spinal op & week 3 post open heart surgery,' the Cold Chisel frontman began.
'As for that line in my arm, they're still treating me for the infection in my bloodstream so I'm taking all the treats I can get,' he continued.

Jimmy then revealed his beloved wife Jane had baked him the pastry he was enjoying.
'Jane tells me it's plum galette with our honey, crushed pistachio crunch & runny cream', he wrote.

In November, Jimmy was forced to cancel his headlining appearance at Rock the Boat cruise festival in Noumea, New Caledonia, after being hospitalised with bacterial pneumonia.
He then had to pull out of his scheduled performance at By The C in Torquay on December 2 after his condition failed to improve.
Jimmy has a string of sold-out headlining gigs booked for January and February, including multiple shows at the Red Hot Summer Tour festival.
However, Jimmy confirmed late last year that his upcoming shows will likely be axed after doctors found his infection had spread.
Jimmy wrote in a statement: 'Unfortunately I got some bad news late yesterday... despite everyone's best efforts the bacterial infection I've been battling over the last fortnight has apparently now spread to my heart.

'It's infected an otherwise healthy valve that was replaced some years ago due to a congenital defect, so I'll be getting open heart surgery over the next few hours to clear this infection and put in a clean valve.
He went on to express his frustration and shock at the diagnosis, writing: 'Obviously this is going to take me out of action for a while. I know lots of other people are battling even worse things but it still feel hugely frustrating. Just a few weeks ago I was the fittest I've been in decades!
'Anyway, as you can hopefully appreciate, this has all happened very suddenly so it's going to take a few days for everyone to figure out what is going to be doable with my upcoming shows.'
