The Emmy winner, best known for playing Blanche Devereaux on the '80s sitcom, has been on the mend since late last year.

The 75-year-old actress was forced to enter hospital in November after her doctor noticed that her heartbeat was irregular. She is currently undergoing physical therapy.

With the death of Bea Arthur last year, McClanahan and Betty White are the last surviving stars of the popular show.
