Comedian Sarah Millican has shared a health update with fans after revealing she was rushed to hospital for emergency surgery. The 51-year-old took to Instagram with two photos, one showing her in a wheelchair being pushed by her husband, fellow comic Gary Delaney, and another showing her celebrating the staff at Wythenshawe Hospital.
Hospital Stay and Surgery
Sarah, who is originally from South Shields but previously relocated to the Manchester area, explained in the caption of her post: "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 added: "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. A few names I’ve remembered in the fog of morphine and codeine (but everyone was amazing)."
Message of Thanks
Sarah continued: "First photo is @garydelaneycomedian taking me home. It looks like we’re escaping. We had permission. I promise. I love this photo. Second photo is of the Meet our team wall display of every single angel. Massive hugs also to my husband, sister and best friend who I could not do without. #thankyouNHS."
Her post was quickly flooded with well wishes from fellow comedians and TV personalities. Alan Carr commented: "Aww get well soon," while Reece Shearsmith said: "Ah hope you have a speedy recovery Sarah!" Ulrika Johnson replied: "Ahhh, get well soon, lovely lady." Sir Chris Hoy's wife, Sarra, shared: "Get well soon. What a marvellous euphoric post, great picture and PERFECT music. So pleased you’re ok- you are our treasure!"
Fans also sent their support, with @lynne_flint2007 posting: "Speedy recovery Sarah," @climbing.barbie writing: "Ah no so rubbish for you, but glad you're on the mend," and @marmalade_and_macarons adding: "Wishing you a full and speedy recovery."
