Real Housewives of Sydney star Lisa Oldfield rushed to hospital with serious health scare
Real Housewives of Sydney star Lisa Oldfield has revealed she was rushed to hospital after suffering a medical emergency, undergoing surgery for a painful bout of perforated diverticulitis.
The 50-year-old reality TV star took to Instagram on Thursday to share a candid selfie from her hospital bed, revealing the shock diagnosis was definitely not how she planned to spend her week.
Wearing a blue surgical cap and nasal oxygen tube, Lisa appeared remarkably composed in the photo, which showed her hooked up to monitoring devices with a blood pressure cuff on her arm.
'I like to plan my week ahead. Perforated diverticulitis was not on my to do list,' she wrote in the caption.
'Thanks Jimmy for getting me seen to and operated on quick smart, my doctor is the best vet on the Northern Beaches,' she added, cheekily comparing her medical team to a vet.
Fans and friends flooded the comment section with well-wishes, with one follower writing, 'That can be very serious Lisa - it killed my dad. So glad you were seen to early.'
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
'Wishing you a speedy recovery,' added another, while a third shared, 'Have experienced this!! Extremely painful. Good luck with recovery.'
Perforated diverticulitis is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition where small pockets in the bowel wall become inflamed and infected, sometimes leading to a rupture.
Lisa, who is known for her sharp wit and no-nonsense attitude on RHOS, has not yet revealed how long she'll remain in hospital but appears to be on the mend.
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.

In an emotional Instagram post, the fitness influencer, 31, opened up about some of the challenges she is currently dealing with and thanked her followers for their understanding. 'I just want to say thank you to everyone, I have been dealing with some heavy stuff. I feel like people can tell... I definitely don't like to pretend I am okay when I am not,' Tammy said. 'I feel like I have been trying to do that for a little while because I have so much I have to focus on. I just feel like pretending is doing me more harm than good.' Tammy added she would not go into detail about what she is going through, but asked her followers to be 'kind'. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Reminder to be kind always. Everyone has something they're going through, so big hugs to anyone that needs it right now,' she added. She also shared a cryptic post that said 'when something feels off it is usually women's intuition'. It comes after Tammy was recently spotted not wearing her wedding ring. Meanwhile, her husband Matt has also ramped up rumours that his whirlwind romance with Tammy may be over after posting footage of himself going to the movies solo. The former Love Island star took to Instagram to share a video from inside the cinema, revealing he was watching Death of a Unicorn alone — a move which came after fans noticed he was absent from Tammy's 31st birthday celebrations. Sources close to the couple previously told Daily Mail Australia the pair are 'on a break', with Matt relocating back to Melbourne. 'Matt and Tammy are on a break. They're not saying it's over for good, but for now they're taking time apart,' the insider revealed. 'They're both emotional people, and they've decided to put their marriage on pause for now.' Tammy added she would not go into detail about what she is going through, but asked her followers to be 'kind' The fitness mogul shared several glamorous snaps from her big birthday, including photos of her decadent cake, extravagant floral arrangements and gifts. However, her husband was nowhere to be seen at the event. Tammy and Matt began dating in mid-2023, after he slid into her DMs and were engaged just three months later. They tied the knot in a lavish ceremony at Chateau Du Soleil in Byron Bay in November.

She told the Canadian comedian: "I show Princess and she's like, 'mum, that's so good, that picture'. This and that. "This is what's funny about Princess. This is probably why we get on.' She went on: "She does her days where she goes out and does her pictures for her Instagram and she's like, mum, can you get eight outfits for me? I said, what, your clothes? "No, your clothes. I went, why do you want to use my clothes? Because your style, you do it better. So, she uses my clothes for her Instagram pictures."

"To everyone out there, yes I work and yes I earn my own money which I'm super proud of and so thankful that I'm lucky enough to buy my own car xx."

Towie star rushed to hospital during filming after she ignored worrying symptoms for TEN years
TOO SCARED Towie star rushed to hospital during filming after she ignored worrying symptoms for TEN years A TOWIE star was rushed to hospital during filming after she ignored her worrying symptoms. Reality TV star Chloe Meadows, 33, was so "scared" of the doctors and the prospect of "having any procedure done" that she ignored symptoms of a chronic inflammatory bowel condition for around 10 years. 4 The Towie star was rushed to hospital during filming after she ignored her worrying symptoms Credit: Getty 4 Chloe received worried texts from her father while she was filming Credit: Instagram 4 Chloe was scared of going to the Doctors or facing a procedure Credit: Instagram Chloe said she had some health checks aged 26, 10 years after her symptoms appeared, after she went on a diet at a time where she was also losing a lot of blood. She told the podcast Bedside Manners with Dr Oscar Duke, that her mother intervened and said she should go to the doctors and get a blood test as she looked grey. While she was out filming, after she had the blood tests, Chloe received a number of missed calls from her father who then texted her to say a doctor had advised her she should got straight to A&E because her "blood was so low". "I went to the hospital. I had to have all of these checks and these iron infusions and that was where it started," she said. Chloe also revealed that she had probably her longest flare-up after filming a nerve wracking scene on Towie. The star first discovered blood in her stool, a symptom of ulcerative colitis, when she was 16. "I went to a college where I boarded when I was 16. "I was staying away from home and I was living in a student house and there was blood down the toilet", she told Dr Oscar Duke's Bedside Manners podcast. "I remember I told my mum and I was like, there's quite a lot of blood down the toilet. "I'm not really sure what's going on. She was of course like, go to the doctors. Towie's Chloe Meadows reveals 'real job' outside of show filming but fans aren't convinced "I went to the doctors, and they said that I would have to have a colonoscopy, which is a camera into the bowel." Chloe added: "At this point in my life, I had never really ever been to the hospital. I'd never been sick. "I'd never had any procedure or operation. I'd never been sedated. "I'd never had anything and the doctor referred me and I got this letter, and this is awful, but I got this letter and I just never went to the appointment because I was terrified. What causes ulcerative colitis and how is it treated? It is thought to be an autoimmune condition, which means the immune system wrongly tries to attack healthy tissue. The theory generally thought to be correct is that the immune system mistake 'good' bacteria inside the colon as a threat and attacks, causing the colon to become inflamed It is unknown why the immune system can behave in this way, but it is thought to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Medication can be taken to relieve symptoms and prevent them from returning. These include aminosalicylates, corticosteroids and immunosuppressants. An option for some people is to have colon removal surgery. "Then I ignored it and what would happen, which is what I realise now, is that I can go into remission, I can go into a flare-up in remission. "It would stop for periods of time so that the blood would go away. I'd be like, 'Oh, cool, it's gone away, I'm better. There's nothing wrong with me'. "I'd go through years where it wouldn't happen and then it would happen again, and then it would stop again. "I would probably lie to my mum about how much it would happen because she always pestered me about it and I was like, 'No, it's fine'. Chloe admitted she was scared of having any procedure done. "I was also scared of what they were going to tell me. I was just terrified, which is not really a reason not to go to the doctor, but I think that's just what I thought. "I was young as well, so I would forget when there wasn't blood down the toilet, I would completely forget." Ulcerative colitis is a long-term condition where the colon and rectum become inflamed, according to the NHS website. Symptoms include recurring diarrhoea, which may contain blood, extreme tiredness, loss of appetite and weight loss. Some people with ulcerative colitis may go for weeks or months with very mild symptoms, or none at all (remission), followed by flare-ups and relapses. Treatment options include corticosteroids, immunosuppressants and surgery.
