In a photo of her laying in a hospital bed, wearing a gown and strapped to an IV, the "Slide Away" artist revealed on Tuesday, "Trying to heal as quick as I can to make it to Gorillapalooza w @TheEllenShow @PortiaDeRossi @BrunoMars this weekend!"

Miley continues, "Hoping the Rock star G*DS send me a boost of bad a-- and help me kick this s--- to the cub where it belongs. We got gorillas to save!"

The singer looked quite refreshed in her hospital selfies -- to which she credits her mom Tish Cyrus in another Stories update.

"Thank you mama for helpin this little sickyyy look a little bit better by brushin my hair for me," she captioned the photo of her mom diligently brushing and hair-spraying away the hospital bed head.

Cyrus also "redesigned" her baggy hospital gown by turning it into a dress -- shearing off the sleeves and creating a scoop neckline.

Gorillapalooza -- a charity event hosted by The Ellen Fund -- is happening this weekend to raise money and increase conservation efforts for endangered animals.
