Cheryl thought she was going to die
Is it true she thought she was dying? "Yeah," she says quietly. "You want to know the details? I had no liver function, no kidney function, I was swollen with the fluid, I had no oxygen in my blood, I literally had 24 hours to get fluid out of my body, otherwise my insides were going to pack in. You know how sometimes you feel ill and say, 'I feel like I'm dying'? Well, I actually felt like I was dying. I asked the nurse outright – was I going to die? She said, 'There's a possibility.' "

Don't believe a word of it tbh.
from a black eye ? judging by the size of her an elephant gun would only partially injure
Yeah OK
Indeed, dubious at best. As a nurse myself there is no way I would have answered that question with such an off-the-cuff remark. Nurses are there to give people hope and comfort, not confirm their worst fears in such a direct manner.
And after all of that, there is her "remarkable" recovery in just literally a couple of weeks. Something doesn't quite add up here, to be honest.
Those 'details' are complete nonsense: no liver function ? You turn yellow. No kidney function ? You're hooked up to a dialysis machine. No oxygen in your blood ? You're already dead, because either you've stopped breathing, your brain is irreversibly damaged or your lungs aren't functioning any more so you'd be on a ventilator. For someone who allegedly had three major organs - liver/kidneys/lungs - all shut down at the same time, she looked astonishingly healthy when she left hospital.
And yes, no-one would tell her directly that there's a chance she would die, least of all a nurse... but you know the scary thing ? She apparently believes this rubbish.
true! Now if she said she had no brain function that I could believe....
Yes, I thought I was going to die, and I had every right to think that because it was possible. And while I'm at it, the doctors did tell me what would have happened if I hadn't gone to my medical center that day.
It also may have been possible that Cheryl would die, just because she's a celebrity doesn't mean she has this superhuman immunity to fatal diseases, malaria is very serious.
:yawn:
I was told by a nurse that if I didn't get into surgery within the next hour, there was a good chance i would bleed to death so, despite the fact a nurse probably shouldn't say such a thing, I've experienced first hand that sometimes they do.
But did you actually ask anyone if you were going to die, and did they say something like "yes, you could" ?
When I've been rushed to hospital with renal failure (more than once), yes, the doctors told me what could have very well happened had I not been brought in immediately... but not until after I was a whole lot better.
It's notable that in one interview she claims the doctors told her she was 24 hours from death, yet in the latest one it's downgraded to a nurse telling her she might die. Rule #1 of telling porkies - keep your story consistent.
be allowed to fly out, and then there is the drinking....
Lew, you had Pneumonia and Malaria at the same time tho..
It wasn't a very nice expirience, I had dangerously low blood pressure, an extremely fast heart rate, complete dehydration and next to no oxygen. I just felt like I couldn't do anything except mildly keep my eyes open and stare at a wall; I didn't have the strength to do anything else.
I also had a catheter... they put litres of fluid into my body and wanted to measure how much of it was coming out. That wasn't a very comfortable expirience xD.
I don't think Cheryl is telling porkies, interviewers have a gift for twisting words and some of them just out right make things up.
Pneumonia and Swine Flu*
I don't know if that's supposedly worse than Malaria... I remember hearing countless stories of swine flu deaths being related to pneumonia...
I don't believe one word of this stupid woman's witless, tedious b
ks.
Amazing how she has miraculously recovered - did she find God at the same time :rolleyes:
thats next weeks instalment - she has a claendar coming out then
I don't doubt for a moment that you had a horrible time, and sorry if I gave that impression, but what you've just said confirms what I thought - even assuming she was in any state to ask questions (which, if you accept her statement, like you she wouldn't), she wouldn't be told bluntly, "there's a possibility you might die". And I'm sure you didn't bounce back to being able to make a 10-hour flight a few weeks later. I've been hospitalised more than once for renal faliure, and I was on my knees for weeks afterwards.
