It looks like Sandra Lee is doing A-OK.

The Semi-Homemade Cooking star seemed to be in good spirits while leaving the hospital and heading home earlier today.

After undergoing surgery following complications stemming from her May 2015 mastectomy on Tuesday, Lee was discharged and flashed a smile while being escorted out of the hospital by her longtime partner, Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

"We visited Sandra in the hospital this morning and we're happy to share she seems to be back to herself -rearranging flowers on the table, cleaning countertops and organizing seating for her visitors," her team wrote on Facebook earlier today.

"Then, true to form, she asked every member of the hospital staff she saw if they had eaten breakfast."

They continued, "What can we say? The girl simply wants to GO HOME!! So today, we're just happy that she's happy - but most importantly, we're happy because we think she's won the match!"

The celebrity chef revealed yesterday that she was resting comfortably after a surgery that "went very well."

"We are happy to let you know that Sandra Lee is out of surgery. The operation took more than two hours, and Sandra is resting in post-op," her team wrote on Facebook Tuesday night. "Governor Cuomo remains with Sandra in the recovery room, as her anesthesia subsides."

"She will return to her hospital room after post-op, and hopefully get some sleep," her post read. "We will let you know how things go overnight—and again, we thank you for your incredible support."

The 49-year-old was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year and underwent a double mastectomy in May. In July, Lee would be hospitalized for an infection after a surgery.
