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

Influencers 'inches from death' after car slams into restaurant during live food review
Influencer couple Patrick Blackwood and Nina Santiago were recording a food review at a restaurant in Houston, Texas when a car reportedly slammed into the booth they were sitting at Two influencers renowned for their food reviews were struck by a vehicle whilst filming a segment on Saturday at a Houston, Texas eatery. Video footage captures Patrick Blackwood and Nina Santiago sampling their meals at CuVee's Culinary Creations when a car reportedly crashed through the glass window of their booth, smashing the pane, hurling the influencers forward, and causing Santiago to tumble from her seat. The motorist informed police that she thought her vehicle was in park before removing her foot from the brake, causing the car to plough into the restaurant, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office. "The chef, influencers, guests, and staff were all blessed to not be severely harmed," CuVee's Culinary Creations told NBC News. "We appreciate the love and support." The footage was uploaded to the YouTube channel Unrated EX Files with the incident occurring approximately 10:35 minutes into the recording, reports the Mirror US. The vlog subsequently shows both influencers inside the ambulance and at the medical facility. "Still here," Blackwood said in the video. "Um, I'm OK now, heart rate's regulated. The realization just hit...I was not expecting this bulls*** right here. But um, I'm glad I'm alive." Whilst awaiting stitches, Santiago revealed this marked the second accident they had experienced this month. "This is the second accident this month," Santiago stated. "The fact that we walked away from both accidents ... maybe I'm just delusional right now but I'm just like, it's like I want to break down and cry and I just can't." Both shared pictures displaying their wounds on Instagram, with the snaps showing the pair sporting stitches and staples across their gashes. "Hey everyone, it's @NinaUnrated and @PatrickBlackwood here, and we can't even begin to express how incredibly fortunate we feel to be alive after what happened to us. We were just sitting in a cozy booth at our favorite restaurant, enjoying happy hour with an amazing spread salmon sliders, presidential oysters, a macaroni and cheese flight (classic, lobster, and truffle), shrimp and grits, and some refreshing drinks," Unrated EX Files stated on Youtube in the video's description. "We were laughing, having a great time, and right as we tapped our sliders together in a "boom!" cheers moment, out of nowhere, this SUV came barreling through the glass wall at 35-40 mph. No warning at all glass shattered everywhere, chaos erupted, and it hit right next to Patrick on the outside of the booth. We were inches from disaster, but by some miracle, we're both okay, just shaken and forever changed." The social media stars returned to the eatery following the drama to grab a bite. "We came back just to make sure to have peace of mind, and also because the food is actually amazing," Santiago said.

Photo of Elle Macpherson confirms long-standing rumour about the model
A recent photo of Elle Macpherson has confirmed a long-standing rumour about the model's hair. The 61-year-old posted a series of holiday snaps to Instagram on Tuesday and one image appears to confirm that Elle wears hair extensions to add volume to her locks. The photo shows Elle walking through a European city in a brown shirt and matching skirt. She had her long blonde locks tied into a messy bun but as she looked down, one of her hair extension bonds was visible. The clip-in extension was noticeable on the top of her head as she pulled her locks back. Hollywood stars and models often wear wigs and hair extensions to achieve a more youthful appearance as hair thins and loses volume with age. Elle is renowned for her radiant, luscious locks and youthful complexion. She previously revealed how she protects her hair when she's not working with the best in the beauty business. From ditching the hot tools to protecting her locks from the harsh sun, Elle shared her top five tips for optimal health hair on her Get The Gloss column. She said she is a big believer that eating well and having a healthy gut plays a crucial role in keeping hair thick and luscious. 'The gut plays a crucial role in nutrient absorption,' she said. 'The combination of botanical herbs, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and probiotics that feature in The Super Elixir™ and The Hair Elixir [from WelleCo] will keep your gut microbiome, and in turn your hair, healthy.' Elle also explained it's best to put the hot tools down and keep hair natural as much as possible. Elle also said it's important to protect hair from the sun and believes this is key to keeping her hair silky and healthy. When she is out in the sun and the sea, she uses hydrating and protecting masks. In colder climates, the supermodel wears her hair in braids with a leave-in mask to ensure UV protection and hydration. And one of Elle's biggest tips for healthier hair is a well-looked-after scalp. She likes to give herself a gentle scalp massage with a natural oil like coconut, almond, or jojoba to improve blood circulation and stimulate hair growth.
