“Just an update: I am feeling much better and hope to return to NYC later this week if I feel well enough to fly. Thank you for all the kind texts and emails.”

The news anchor also shared valuable things she learned through her experience:

“I’m down an organ, but I learned some valuable lessons this week.

1. Surgery is painful. I will never take a pain free day for granted again.

2. Be grateful for everyday that you can move your body.

3. Listen to your body. If you are in pain, see a doctor. Don’t wait 5 days like I did ignoring pain.

4. Our doctors, nurses, and health care professionals are true life savers. I would not have gotten the excellent care I received without advice from my sister-surgeon, my parents, Dr. Tara Narula, Dr. Jon LaPook, Dr. Richard Beckerman, and the entire team at MUSC.

Thank you”
