Brinkley posted images on her Instagram account Monday, showing her with stitches over a swollen left eye.
In the post, the 61-year-old Brinkley writes, “We interrupt this holiday to take a little unplanned excursion to Miami for cat scans and stitches following an accident trying to save a bird.”
Brinkley continues, “My grateful heartfelt thanks go out to our wonderful Parrot Cay Family who got me to the boat and plane, and my friends in Miami who found my A Team at University of Miami Hospital led by Dr Askari and his professional caring and adorable team…”
One of the photos shows Brinkley holding an ice pack to her face while in another, a woman in a white lab coat is giving a thumbs up behind Brinkley as the patient rests in a hospital bed with a blue cap covering her hair.
