But all through the viewing, I could not sit up … you see, I had been rushed to the ER twice that week already for back-chest pains that would come intensely and leave the next day! The doctors were checking for my now Hbp and intense Acid reflux! On the second admission, the Doctor gave all the drips, and blood work and sent me home to manage. Luckily it left …

“However … after the movie, I knew there would be No talks with Denzel or Ridley Scott today. I needed to go! I threw up all Night till there was Nothing to throw up anymore. By Morning the Most Dilapidating Stomach pain started and so I was rushed again to Emergency… the Third time! This time, I was wheeled in, straight for a CT scan, Ultrasound and MRI. Then the Doctor came in and said you have to go in immediately for Surgery! … To remove your gallbladder!!! It was so dilated, that the Doctors wondered how I was not in more pain. More pain???!

“So the Fight for my Life began and today I am returning to give all the Glory to God. So on this day, whether you’re in the US or not, there’s so much to thank God for, take some time to join in and give thanks.”

In conclusion, she wrote, “Not only for the gift of life but the gift of good health. The gift of a complete body or a sane mind to even dream of a better day!”, she wrote on Instagram.
