I never have and you’re supposed to take all of this medication with food.” Because of this, the gossip blogger, 47, “developed an ulcer and then a perforation and then sepsis.” “People die of sepsis,” he tearfully continued. “The day before I was hospitalized, I was in so much stomach pain. I was like ‘This is weird, but it’ll go away.'” But by the next morning Hilton — born Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr. — “couldn’t walk” and had to be taken by ambulance to the hospital.After taking flu medication for a week without eating food, Hilton “developed an ulcer and then a perforation and then sepsis.”“I ended up being there for 21 days. I felt like I knew everybody by the time I left,” he quipped.“I ended up being there for 21 days. I felt like I knew everybody by the time I left,” he said. “The first few days were a lot of pain and constant tests, X-rays, CT scans, ultrasounds, because they couldn’t find where the perforation was. So that was scary.” After five days, he had laparoscopic surgery to “flip around all of organs” trying to find the perforation, followed by another major procedure because his organs were still infected. “They inserted I don’t know what inside of me and drained a ton more infection out of me and then the sepsis just kept working and my body kept falling apart. My heart got out of control, they had to put me on heart medications. And then, I developed another infection in the hospital.”Hilton said that over the two weeks in the hospital he could only eat through a feeding tube.Once he was able to start eating regularly again, it was a “whole other process” because it can be “hard on the body” as well as “humiliating” because he was having “a lot of accidents.”Even out of the hospital, Hilton explained that he is “not 100 percent,” showing a pick line into his arm.The journalist is going to use the health scare as a learning lesson and promised to slow down his lifestyle.“I felt so humiliated and sad and bad to have to keep calling because I kept having accidents in the bed. But she was so kind and patient,” he praised. “It was just such a slow process. Two weeks of just sickness and then another week of getting better before I was released.” “Now that I am home, I am not 100 percent,” he noted, showing a pick line into his arm. “It’s like a scary IV with two lines, and one goes to my heart.” Hilton also shared that he is using this health scare as a learning lesson and is going to slow down his lifestyle and be more present with“I’m going to have dinner with my kids and my mom every night from now on,” he pledged, before thanking his entire family for supporting him through this difficult time.to share videos and photos of himself wearing an oxygen mask while in a hospital bed at Southern Hills Hospital in Las Vegas.
