Apparently, she had complications from her last endometriosis surgery, after which doctors declared her free from the disease.
The actress posted a photo from her hospital bed on Instagram and wrote:
“Thank you for all the love & concern that’s been pouring in since Tuesday. Although I’m much healthier than I was a year ago, complications arose from my most recent endometriosis surgery.”
The Girls creator also took the time to tell women suffering from chronic illnesses like hers that they are strong as hell:
“I also want to remind all the women suffering from chronic illness that we aren’t weak- quite the opposite, actually. We do our jobs with skill even when we’re struggling. We care families even when we can hardly care for ourselves. We serve major face on a red carpet when we feel like lying face down would be more appropriate. I’ll always be proud of those Met Gala pics- not just because I felt beautiful, surrounded by art and magic, hugging my best friend tightly, but because they’re evidence that women contain steely multitudes.”
Right on!
She looked beautiful at the ball, and we’re sorry she wasn’t feeling well. It’s good to see her in recovery now!
