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, the doctors wondered how I was not in more pain. More pain??!!!”
Thankfully, the surgery was successful and the actress is gradually recovering fully.
