Louise Thompson spent the holidays in hospital amid her ongoing health struggles.
The former Made in Chelsea star took to her Instagram account to share an update with her fans and also took a moment to thank the medical center for their care.
Louise posted images of her from the hospital in a gown, sharing, “Looks dramatic but it wasn’t. I had a proctoscopy today. It’s like a colonoscopy but not as invasive because I don’t have a colon so there isn’t very far the camera can go.”
The TV personality added: “Still bloody awkward and a tiny bit uncomfortable but fentanyl is a wonder drug.”
In another photo, Louise was seen wearing a nasal cannula. She explained why she chose the date, saying: “These appointments are so important and they managed to fit me in quite urgently so I jumped at the offering of a 24th December date, then when it came around I realised the magnitude of it being Christmas Eve.”
Louise praised the NHS for continuing to work during the holidays. “Despite all the chaos of what I’ve been through, I still think we are incredibly lucky to have the NHS which NEVER clocks off in case of emergencies,” she said, adding, “The NHS never sleeps.”
She continued with humor, “A nice little Christmas Eve camera up my bum.”
“Thanks for keeping the country ticking along and for keeping our loved ones alive,” Louise ended by thanking staff.
It is pertinent to mention that Louise nearly died giving birth to her son in 2021 and has since faced multiple serious health conditions including Lupus, Asherman’s syndrome and has also had a stoma bag fitted.
