What has Louise Thompson said after being rushed to hospital?
Louise Thompson’s fiancé Ryan Libbey revealed that she had been rushed to hospital on their He Said She Said podcast. Ryan said: “Sadly Louise is not here this week.
“She had to go back into hospital almost two weeks ago for another emergency operation in the same tummy area that she’s been recovering from since earlier this year with her stoma surgery. It was completely unexpected.”

She was heavily medicated, she had all kinds of pipes and tubes and cannulas all over her body. So to see that again in intensive care was completely heartbreaking.”


Louise Thompson has now taken to Instagram to describe what has happened to her. She said: “It’s World kindness day. 🌞
“The world feels like it’s been a bit unkind to me again.
“But today is a new day.
“And that hopefully means home.
”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.
“I’m almost embarrassed at this point.
“BUT there is light.
”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.

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.

“My faith in humanity is actually at an all time high right👇🏼”
