Overview
- On Thursday, November 5, Verrett posted an about‑ten‑minute video on Instagram saying he is 'back' and plans to resume sessions and webinars as he recovers.
- He explained that a very strong steroid regimen after his August kidney transplant caused the visible facial swelling he has shown to followers.
- Verrett said post‑transplant anti‑rejection drugs have suppressed his immune system 'to practically zero,' which is why he kept a long period of isolation to avoid infections.
- He and his wife issued a joint statement after the successful August operation at Oslo's Rikshospitalet thanking the anonymous donor, and Verrett praised his wife Märtha Louise for intensive support during his illness.
- Verrett pushed back at critics in the video, and his stated plan to restart public work while still medically vulnerable makes close infection precautions and a gradual return to appearances the key developments to watch.
