Louise Thompson has spoken out on her terrifying rush to hospital in an emotional update, as she admits she hopes she will be home in time for her son Leo’s birthday.
The Made In Chelsea star has suffered another setback in her health after being rushed in for emergency surgery before going into septic shock.
She has been in hospital for two weeks, with her fiancé, Ryan Libbey speaking out on the ordeal during a new episode of the couple’s podcast He Said, She Said.
Louise has now posted an Instagram update, telling her followers: ‘The world feels like it’s been a bit unkind to me again.’
The star shared a photo of Ryan placing a sunshine balloon at the end of her bed as she told her followers: ‘It’s World kindness day. The world feels like it’s been a bit unkind to me again.’
She added that she hopes to be home soon, especially as it her son Leo’s third birthday on November 15.
‘Today is a new day. And that hopefully means home,’ she continued. ‘I really hate to say it but I’ve been back in hospital feeling very poorly (I feel like the word ‘poorly’ warrants the label of an Onomatopoeia – everything about it resembles elderly, frail illnessy stuff).’
‘As I say it I feel like a grandma blowing out bubbles for words. It looks and sounds sick. Like I did. Even though I’m also confusingly only 34 and incredibly strong. Mentally and physically STRONG. If I do say so myself.’
Louise went on to admit ‘I’m almost embarssed at this point. BUT there is light,’ as she thanked hospital staff and her friends and family for taking care of her.
‘Despite The Surgery The Butt drain The Catheter The Stoma The Robinsons drains Dreaded Pigtail drain Copious cannulas, damn I wish I’d accepted that picc line Blood tests galore My poor poor bod. I’ve felt like a bit of a zombie. There have been beacons of kindness EVERYWHERE.’
‘It’s been needed because oh goodness me it’s been quite scary seeing my body laden with so many foreign objects. I’m amazed I even managed to move with all that in at one point.’
‘I literally had a tail dangling out of me. Stitched in. In fact I felt like an octopus with multiple legs or tubes (turns out a cannula with different entry points is called an octopus too). Great minds. Or a great subconscious mind and memory of mine.’
‘Ahhh the joy of heavy heavy opioids for getting me through the worst of it. Thank goodness for poppies. Thank goodness for science. Thank goodness for modern medicine.’
‘Back to the important thing : kindness. There have been many many people who have been incredibly kind who have got me through. Like BEYOND KIND.’
‘Angel level of kind. The kind of people you meet and think gosh I wish I was as kind as you because you are next level kind, going out of your way to help others. You really are a superstar kind of god given gift.’
‘It’s really remarkable that there are people out there that are THIS cool. Actually I don’t mean cool. I mean warm, really really warm. Because warm > cool. The world is a better place because of you.’
‘My faith in humanity is actually at an all time high right now.’
Louise also shared her thoughts on Ryan’s solo podcast episode, admitting she found watching a clip of her emotional fiance heartbreaking.
‘Just watching this 1 clip broke my heart so I won’t be listening to the pod this week until I’m waaaaay recovered and feeling so far removed from this challenge.’
She also appeared to criticise the decision to go ahead with the podcast in her absence, telling her followers that it ‘makes me really sad and a bit confused as to why Ryan had to host a solo ep THIS early on into our pod journey, but hey go. I’m v proud of you for getting on and doing it.’
