Pauline Hanson has been inundated with comments from well-wishers after having her appendix removed and has vowed to be 'in fine form' for the election.
The One Nation leader, 64, shared a picture of herself in hospital in Canberra on Wednesday after having emergency surgery.
Dozens of supporters rushed to pass on their good wishes - and Hanson replied to several fans.
She also praised the 'wonderful' doctors and nurses who looked after her, saying 'you realise how helpless you are when you don't have your health.'

One fan Mick Gardner wrote: 'Having a bad trot there Pauline,' and the Queensland senator replied: 'From the tick to this, it's been a rough week. It won't keep me down for long though Mick.'
She also wrote to another commenter: 'It's the equivalent of a quick service before a long road trip. I'll be in fine form before the election is called.'
Hanon's latest health scare occurred as her former Senate running mate Fraser Anning was censured in Parliament for his comments last month blaming Muslims for the Christchurch massacre which saw 50 Muslims killed in New Zealand.
It also came just days after the Qatari-owned Al Jazeera network's hidden-camera expose on One Nation officials was broadcast on the ABC.
The One Nation leader was left 'unrecognisable' after a paralysis tick bit her face last week
'Over the weekend I felt extraordinarily unwell. At first, I thought it was a case of food poisoning so I just took it easy,' she told her Facebook followers on Wednesday afternoon.
'I woke yesterday morning to continued pains in my stomach and decided to see a GP,' Senator Hanson said.
'Surgeons determined I needed an emergency operation to remove my appendix.
'Compared to the pain I was in before the surgery, today's pain is a lot less and I plan on being back on my feet tomorrow.'
A week ago, Senator Hanson was left 'unrecognisable' after suffering facial paralysis from a tick bite when she was still in Queensland.
