In her recent Instagram post, actress and host Kris Aquino has gave her fans and supporters the latest update on her health condition.
The Queen of All Media shared she went through a minor operation recently.
“Exactly 2 weeks ago, I had an Ultrasound-guided PICC LINE INSERTION, the minimally invasive surgery was done in Makati Medical Center. I would like to thank everyone in MMC for their genuine concern for my safety & well-being while confined- from those in the OR, all the doctors & residents who were monitoring me, the nurses in the 9th floor, and the security team- MARAMING SALAMAT sa INYO!” she said in her caption.
She then thanked her medical team for the successful minor operation.
“This picture was taken by my pain management doctor, @rainiertanalgo. In the picture you can clearly see my adopted younger sister immunodermatologist @drkatcee who is stressed with my ever growing list of medicinal and food allergies; partially seen was my excellent vascular surgeon Dr. James Illescas, not pictured is our family’s trusted anesthesiologist Dr. Jonnel Lim who crossed the ‘border’ (again thank you MMC for saying yes to our request) and clearly visible is surgeon Dr. Mike Padlan. (Pinangalanan ko na po sya).”
Dr. Mike is the surgeon who is reportedly Kris’ boyfriend for some time now.
Kris revealed she now has six autoimmune diseases and she is now suffering from rheumatoid arthritis.
“I always try my best to highlight the positive because having 6 autoimmune conditions is depressing (hindi po ako nagkamali, in my last update i had 5 diagnosed autoimmune disorders, but just like the Pop Mart Care Bears na 6 ang laman given to me by my new friends @rouge_and_orange #6 is the supremely punishing RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS,” she said.
With the pains she feel that are nerve-wracking, Kris still holds on to dear life, although there are times she feels exhausted.
“Kahit gaano katapang ako, there are moments especially pag nagsabay sabay my unexplainable allergies, my lupus (rashes, fever like heat in my entire body, migraine) and rheumatoid arthritis flares (the worst, stabbing/crushing deep bone pain in my knees, hips, ankles) plus my high blood pressure (170/116); i ask myself KAYA KO PA BA?” she said.
Kris likewise revealed that thete is a strict security protocol that is being observed now that she is in an isolated room in the hospital.
“During my hospitalization, my WBC dropped… i also had a bad allergic reaction to the last antibiotic i could still tolerate. What did that mean- wala na kong panlaban sa kahit anong viral or bacterial infection. I’m now in isolation. So many rules for family & friends na gusto akong dalawin. Yes, it’s lonely,” she said.
But she’s not giving up hope.
“What keeps me going? I REFUSE TO DISAPPOINT ALL THOSE PRAYING FOR ME. Ayokong maisip nyo na binalewala ko yung time & effort ninyo. Because your compassion has deeply touched my heart. Kaya #bawalsumuko #tuloyanglaban,” she said. (NIGEL CHAVEZ DE ESTRADA)
