Real Housewives of Sydney veteran Lisa Oldfield rushed to hospital for emergency surgery: ‘Not on my to-do list’

Real Housewives of Sydney star Lisa Oldfield has revealed she suffered a serious medical emergency.

Lisa, 50, took to Instagram on Wednesday to share that she was rushed to hospital for surgery this week.

The reality TV star shared an image that showed her recovering in a hospital bed with a breathing tube in her nose and what appeared to be electrodes attached to her forehead. 

‘I like to plan my week ahead. Perforated diverticulitis was not on my to do list,’ she captioned the shock post.

Continuing, she thanked her partner James Laws for springing into action to get Lisa to hospital.

‘Thanks Jimmy for getting me seen to and operated on quick smart, my doctor is the best vet on the Northern Beaches,’ Lisa joked.

Diverticulitis is a condition where small pouches called diverticula in the colon become inflamed or infected.

Perforated diverticulitis is a serious complication of the condition where an area of the bowel wall ruptures, allowing the contents of the colon to leak into the abdominal cavity.

This can lead to peritonitis – a potentially fatal infection of the abdominal lining.

Lisa’s post was met with an outpouring of support and well wishes from friends and followers.

‘Wishing you a speedy recovery! It’s hard to come by good vet doctors these days,’ one wrote while another chimed in with a similar: ‘Sending big healing hugs.’

A third summed up the sentiment of many with: ‘Oh that has got to suck! Hope you are on the mend and it’s a quick recovery.

It comes after Lisa alarmed her fans in November when she shared a shock photo to social media of her bleeding from the top of her head.

She had her eyes closed and looked worn out in the photo, and in the caption she revealed the surprising way she injured herself.

‘Not the best way to start the day. Walking into the bathroom cabinet at 6:30am. Lesson learned, I will not get up in single digits again,’ Lisa wrote.

Her shocking post alarmed many of her fans, who quickly took to the comment section to offer their well wishes.

‘Oh no! I hope you are all right,’ one concerned follower wrote.

It’s not the first time Lisa has shared photos of her facial injuries to social media.

In July, she posted a similar image to Instagram, which captured a trail of blood running down her forehead from her scalp.

‘I am the clumsiest person on the planet,’ she wrote in her caption.

‘I sneezed really hard and managed to bang my head on the door I was closing at the time’.

Lisa also revealed to her followers in March that she had been diagnosed with myocarditis – an inflammation of the middle layer of the heart wall.

‘I thought it was the thrill of the win on Saturday, but turns out I have myocarditis,’ she wrote on social media.

‘Bit scary but with lots of rest I should make a 100% recovery,’ she continued.

One follower enquired: ‘Is it from your vaccine? Several friends of mine have myocarditis too and got it after they vaccinated.

Lisa was quick to address their concern. 

‘No from my osteomyelitis from my broken toe,’ she responded.

Lisa, who is the ex-wife of One Nation co-founder David Oldfield, rose to fame after starring The Real Housewives of Sydney in 2016.
