Last week I felt pain under my right rib and had to go in for emergency gallbladder surgery. Talk about frightening! I want to sincerely thank Vanderbilt’s Emergency Trauma and Surgical Critical Care Team who took me in the middle of the night… So many of you and cannot remember all names- I apologize. Aimee for insisting we go to hospital and all your care and love. Pommier’s for driving 7 hrs straight to see me. Now 6 days later getting ready to start the first show on H&O tour in Hershey tonight and Madison Square Garden on Friday. Without your unbelievable expertise- my recovery would not be what it is today- I am truly grateful! #vanderbilthospital
