Tracey Emin seeks treatment in Thailand after an infection nearly caused her intestines to explode.
The 60 year old artist shared about her illness on her Instagram account @traceyeminstudio yesterday, December 17 :
This is my first post in a long time. I’ve had shows , I’ve been traveling and I’ve been very unwell. Not cancer but horrible complications with my intestines bought on by an infection , scar tissue and made a million times worse by flying. My small intestine nearly exploded. Luckily for me I was in Thailand on my way back from Australia, so I spent a few days in a very good hospital .. and now recovering in luxury .. Apart from using up another one of my 9 lives . I’d say I was very lucky. I’m now on a special diet and will fly when I’m well enough. Meanwhile it’s absolutely fantastic to be in love , not to be in pain and know how lucky I am.
