A Minneapolis TV anchor who has been off the air for three months following a one-boat crash said her return to work may still be some time away.

Julie Nelson, 54, shared a statement on Facebook telling her community that she is recovering quickly, but fans may still have to wait a little longer to see their beloved anchor back on screen.

'The good news is I am making great progress and anticipate being back to work soon,' the veteran anchor wrote in a Facebook post published Wednesday morning, marking her first public comment since July 20.

Nelson, who has been at the NBC affiliate KARE 11 for 23 years, was injured in June after a boating accident on Balsam Lake at Pine Island in Wisconsin. 

According to reports, the crash occurred around 11 pm and also involved her husband Kurt Krumenauer, 55, who works in commercial real estate.

In an application for a search warrant by Ramsey County officials, an officer noted that Nelson had 'significant injuries including broken bones and deep lacerations that will likely leave lasting scars and effect on her quality of life,' the Minnesota Star Tribune reported. 

Just days after the accident, the Star Tribune published an article claiming that Krumenauer was suspected of being intoxicated at the time of the crash.

But less than 24 hours later, the outlet yanked the story from its website. It published a subsequent piece explaining the reasoning for its retraction. 

The Star Tribune wrote: 'The article incorrectly attributed a quote to Matthew Pierce, a records coordinator with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.

'The reporter mistakenly incorporated language from his own email correspondence with Pierce regarding a records request and presented it as a quote. Pierce did not make the statement attributed to him.'

'In addition, a paraphrased statement attributed to a Department of Natural Resources spokesperson was inaccurate and created the impression that the spokesperson had commented on the incident when she had not,' the outlet added.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is still investigating the accident. 

Nelson said she is still dealing with nerve injuries to her right arm and that recovery from such injuries is a slow process.

'As I am learning, nerve recovery is frustratingly slow and unpredictable,' she wrote. 'But I'm fortunate to have a phenomenal team helping me heal.'

Compassionate fans rushed to the comments section of Nelson's post to express their empathy, as others sent the anchor 'healing energy for a full recovery.'

One concerned user wrote: 'So glad to see this post. We’ve all been so worried about you. Sounds like you’re healing nicely, but the recovery is a little slower than you had hoped. Hang in there!'

Another one added: 'Best of luck Julie for a successful recovery!!! Can’t wait to see you back on KARE 11.'

David Rippe, a Minneapolis doctor specializing in electrodiagnostic medicine told the Star Tribune that nerves grow back at about an inch a month. He added that patients commonly experience numbness and tingling.

In Nelson’s absence, KARE resorted to a single-anchor format with veterans staffing the desk.

News director Matt Kummer told the Star Tribune: 'We look forward to welcoming Julie back to the KARE 11 anchor desk when she's ready.

'We are grateful to Kevin Holmes, Rena Sarigianopoulos and Lauren Leamanczyk for stepping up this summer on our evening newscasts.'

At the end of her post, Nelson had warm words for her community: 'Thank you for your kindness, encouragement, support and prayers during this challenging time,' she wrote. 'It has meant the world to me and has uplifted me more than you know.'

The Daily Mail contacted the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and Nelson for comment.
