Oprah injured birthday gift, Oprah injured: Tyler Perry’s birthday gift sprains Winfrey's back, Oprah injured by flowers, but is now on the mend. Talk show mongul and billionaire Oprah Winfrey celebrated her 59th birthday on Jan. 29, and received gifts from her many fabulous friends and well wishers.
According To Examiner...One such well wisher was actor and director Tyler Perry, who sent the mongul an elaborate floral arrangement. She also got an additional unwelcome present from Perry’s gift; an injured back muscle. While trying to pick up the flowers, it appears Winfrey sprained her back, injuring the muscle, according to a Jan. 31 report in the Toronto Sun.

Winfrey tweeted the news to her fans writing, “In bed with an ice pack most of today. Moved a bushel of roses sent by Tyler Perry and sprained a back muscle.”

An apologetic Perry also wrote about the incident on his Facebook page, “I feel so bad. I like to send really large flower arrangements to people for whatever occasion. Well, I sent one to Oprah yesterday for her birthday. She strained her back picking it up. No joke! Feel better Oprah. Happy birthday. Sorry. Next year I'm sending her one rose.”

The next day, Winfrey tweeted, “Beautiful birthday. Thanks All!” and posted a photo of her posing next to her bouquets and cards.
