Lisa Curry rushed to hospital with terrifying health scare
Lisa Curry hasn’t had the easiest start to 2020 as the former Olympian was rushed to hospital on New Year’s Day after suffering from a severely swollen throat.
Taking to Instagram to share the news, the 57-year-old wrote candidly about her most recent health scare as she posted a photo of her on a hospital bed surrounded by medical equipment.
“My goal for the year was to slow the heck down … before I even got a chance to slow down, I ended up here in a Melbourne hospital,” she captioned the image.
“New Year’s Day lovely lunch with friends, go home for a nana nap, woke up unable to breathe … my throat and tongue swollen and so scary not to be able to get a proper breath,” she added.
Lisa said that the entire experience was a harsh reminder as to why she needed to look after herself.
“We only tend to slow down when we are FORCED to. When we feel ok, we keep pushing and pushing,” she wrote.
While she admitted that she’s yet to find out what caused the swelling, she explained that she is “quite allergic” to things in the air and plants.
“But really have no idea why it happened?? Immune system down plus too much stress,” she told her followers.
The three-time Olympic swimming champ is mother to Morgan, Jaimi and Jett with ex-husband Grant Kenny.
