Barbara Walters is on the mend.

The View cohost, who has been recovering at home from the chickenpox and a recent head injury, called into Wednesday's show to give her gals a health update.

"I have been a little weak. I am not in any pain. And I'm not scratching too much. I'm not itching away," revealed the 83-year-old Walters.

As for when she might return to the show?

"I just feel sort of weak and tired, and I probably won't be back on the program for about three weeks," Walters said.

Three weeks and counting! Looking forward to seeing you then, Barbara.
