And, I got home, you know, around 2AM, and I thought I could just sleep it off. And then I I woke up in the morning, and, it it was worse. And I I tried to push through. Figured it was just a stomachache, pain. I don't know. So I was I decided to film. I was doing a makeup video. And while I was filming, I the room began to spin, and, I couldn't breathe. And I fell on the floor, and I best passed out. And, when I woke up, I was able to grab my phone, and, I called 911 because I I knew damn well I couldn't drive myself anywhere. Rank then I got picked up in an ambulance, taken to a hospital, and they did an immediate, CAT scan. And they found that my appendix was, gonna rupture. So, they put me into immediate emergency surgery, and I no longer have an appendix. I have three, incisions on my stomach, and I can't really walk. And, Zach is taking care of me, which is really sweet of him. Better, yeah, it's gonna be an interesting few days. And I just wanted you to know what happened, and I love you.
