"On December 2nd, Colt suffered an accident which caused a dislocated and broken leg. Tibia/fibula along with torn meniscus," Vanessa captioned photos of Colt in a hospital bed.
The first photo featured a medical device holding Colt's right leg in place, and the second picture showed Colt with a large above-the-knee cast on his right leg.
The third photo Vanessa posted was of Colt giving the thumbs-up with X-rays behind him.
"He was hospitalized for 2 weeks. In those 2 weeks he had 2 surgeries. With all the pain meds/anesthesia he received, his bladder stopped working and has been on a catheter since."
Vanessa revealed how her husband "is unable to put any weight on the leg," even though it's been over a month since the accident.
"[Colt] can't bend it and is wheelchair bound. His 3rd surgery was a couple of days ago to remove the hardware he had to keep his leg straight," Vanessa elaborated.
Vanessa noted it's been "a rough journey" for Colt and for herself, given she's been his caretaker outside of the doctors and nurses.
"I had to move us from our second story apartment within a few days due to him not being able to go up stairs," Vanessa wrote in her post.
Colt is expected to recover in six to eight months, according to Vanessa.
"Physical therapy will be added in the next month or 2 for him to be able to learn how to walk again," she shared.

Many comments poured in from the 90 Day Fiance family, who sent Colt their prayers and well wishes.
Natalie Mordovtseva said, "I am so sorry. Please recover fast," and Syngin Colchester commented, "Dam bro. Good luck in the healing process."
Colt and Vanessa recently appeared on TLC during the Tell-All special for Season 3 of 90 Day: The Single Life in December 2022, which featured Colt and his mother Debbie Johnson appearing to reconcile -- with a hug -- after some brutal arguments.
Debbie has not publicly commented on Colt's accident or ongoing recovery. Late last week, Debbie shared on Instagram how she left Las Vegas, NV, and is currently on a road trip with her Canadian boyfriend Tony, whom she was shown meeting during Season 3 of 90 Day: The Single Life.
Colt and Vanessa co-starred on Season 1 of 90 Day: The Single Life in 2021. Debbie starred on the spinoff's next two seasons, which resulted in occasional appearances by Colt and Vanessa.
Colt and Vanessa were shown getting engaged on a dock at Big Bear Lake in Southern California during Season 1 of The Single Life in early May 2021 despite Vanessa's trust issues and the couple's struggle with Colt's high sex drive and relationship expectations.

During 90 Day: The Single Life's Season 1 Tell-All in Spring 2021, Colt shocked viewers by saying he and Vanessa had secretly wed.
"I love Vanessa so much I married Vanessa and didn't tell anybody in this f-cking room," Colt said at the time.
Colt and Vanessa tied the knot while enjoying a road trip through Reno, NV, about a month before the Tell-All taping, In Touch Weekly reported.
"I wanted something just for Vanessa and I," he explained of keeping Debbie out of the loop about his marriage. "It was very important that I showed Vanessa that it was just for her and I."

Colt and Vanessa moved in together after they eloped and got married.
In January 2022, Vanessa said on the Tell-All for 90 Day: The Single Life's second season that she had moved out of Colt's home and they were "separated" at the time.
Colt lamented about how he was Debbie's "anchor" in life, and Vanessa said she was tired of being under Debbie's roof.
"It's nonstop," Vanessa vented of Debbie's interference. "The door is closed on our room and [we hear], 'Hey, Colt. Hey, Colt.' It's nonstop!"
Vanessa said her breaking point was when she had suffered a miscarriage, which the pair publicly announced in October 2021.
Debbie claimed she was "heartbroken" for Vanessa and Colt's loss but she had allegedly been paying all the bills and felt her son was unappreciative.
"Do you know how many times I've been there to support you?" Debbie asked Colt. "I don't even want you in my life anymore. You make it miserable; you make me miserable."

Colt filed for divorce from his first wife, Larissa Dos Santos Lima -- with whom he starred on Season 6 of 90 Day Fiance and Season 4 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? -- in January 2019 after an explosive fight in his Las Vegas home.

Colt finalized his divorce from Larissa in April 2019, and Vanessa's divorce from her ex-husband, True Maudsley, became official in November 2020.
Once his divorce was finalized, Colt struck up a romance with Jessica Caroline and the pair starred on Season 5 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?.
Colt admitted on the show he had cheated on Jessica with Vanessa, and his romance with Jessica ended in October 2019.
Jess therefore asked Colt why he started dating her when he was clearly wrapped up in Vanessa, and Colt replied, "Because Vanessa said, 'No.' If she said, 'Yes,' I would've dated her in a second. I'm sorry that you were in a sh-tty relationship with me. It was a summer fling."
Vanessa said on the Season 5 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? Tell-All that she liked Colt only "as a best friend" because she "wouldn't trust him as a boyfriend." Colt, however, insisted he had never cheated on Larissa.
Although Colt and Vanessa insisted they were just friends for months, the pair were photographed walking hand-in-hand down a Las Vegas street in September 2020. Colt also changed his appearance and grew a beard, which Vanessa had confessed is more like her "type" in men.
Jess went on to wed a man named Brian Hanvey.
