Comedian Sarah Millican has been rushed to hospital for emergency surgery after a health scare, sharing her appreciation for the medical team and her family on Instagram.
The 51-year-old posted a picture of herself in a wheelchair, dressed in a hospital gown and wearing her glasses, as her husband Gary Delaney pushed her down a corridor at Wythenshawe Hospital. She appeared to be in good spirits despite the ordeal.
Gratitude for NHS Staff
In the caption, Millican wrote: "An appreciation post for the absolute geniuses and angels who’ve just looked after me in A&E and on ward A6 @manchestershospitals at Wythenshawe hospital."
She continued: "From working out what was wrong to whipping out a particularly gnarly appendix (so retro!) to looking after me so expertly. Every single person I came into contact with was kind and smiling and helpful. No notes."
"You’re all glorious and I’m so grateful. I’ve never been so congratulated on doing a poo in my life."
Family Support and Fan Reactions
Millican also thanked her husband, sister and best friend, writing: "Massive hugs also to my husband, sister and best friend who I could not do without."
She described the first photo as "@garydelaneycomedian taking me home. It looks like we’re escaping. We had permission. I promise. I love this photo." The second photo showed the "Meet our team" wall display of hospital staff.
Fans flooded the comments with well-wishes, with one writing "Hope you are ok, take care Sarah," and another joking: "He's behind you!!! Just getting into the panto season spirit early."
