In a later update, she added: "Maybe these accidents occur to say Slow Down. We do so little of that, that sometimes it takes something stronger to enforce rest. I’m grateful for the guidance."
Jane also thanked two strangers for their help during her time of need, as well as the hospital staff.
She explained: "A lovely couple helped me when I fell. They got me a cup of tea and brought me home. Thank you to them and the lovely Scottish nurse who put my arm in plaster when all the other ‘plasterers’ had gone home."
The Little Voice actress was swamped with well wishes after she posted the updates.
"I hope it's not too serious, sending best wishes," one fan commented.
"Get well soon Jane," added another.
"Stay safe," a third chipped in.
