Sharon Cuneta out of hospital, gives health update

MANILA, Philippines – Actress Sharon Cuneta has been discharged from the hospital after being confined due allergic rhinitis, post-nasal drip and bacterial infection.

On her Facebook page, Sharon gave an update on her health.

“Hi, everyone. I got home just yesterday after 5 days of confinement. I was supposed to have a couple more tests at the hospital and possibly be discharged today, but I requested to leave yesterday as I thought it was also an emotional thing that was keeping me there longer because I really was missing my family too much. I love being back home! I am still weak and left the hospital with a new (haaaaay…) cough, and LOTS of meds to take home, so (or but) for some reason I am feeling better today. It’s my family! My Miel, though, got sick and has been down with a high fever since 3 days ago.

“KC visited me twice in the hospital. I asked my assistant to call her and ask if she could come because I missed her so much. And my baby came running after an event, with my favorite breads and a sandwich from Paul Patisserie as pasalubong (gift). (I’m not a rice person. Everyone who knows me knows that one of my diet downfalls is bread!). I have always loved KC lying down beside me, and hugging her. I love the smell of my baby’s skin and hair,” she wrote.

Sharon also shared how much she missed her mother Elaine Cuneta, who died last year. (READ: Sharon Cuneta emotional over mom Elaine’s death, gives touching eulogy)

“I cried a couple of times while I was confined, because it was the first time I was hospitalized without my Mama around anymore. She would have come with the usual churros and tsokolate (always her pasalubong to me, even before my first marriage broke up. One of her “pampa-comforts.” Puro food kami no?! Di naman nauubos! Basta nandiyan lang. (We’re all about food, it never runs out, it’s always there.)  I really miss her. And it didn’t help that I was on the same floor as her room when she was last hospitalized there too, just before she passed. Only her room was on the other end of the hallway. I know she was and is with me, though.

“I missed the sound of my babies talking, yelling, screaming (!!!) at home, so when I first lay down on my bed yesterday, I was quiet and told them to please just keep talking. I love my husband lying beside me and hugging me, too. One of my favorite things to do is to cuddle and I love doing that with him all the time! So happy I get lots of that again here now.

“I am just so glad to be back home, though am still recovering, still a bit sick. Better, but still recovering. Thank you for all your prayers and love! Thank you for the flowers and fruits and lovely cards! Please, if you can, continue praying for me? And please, please pray for my Miel to get well completely soon, too? Thanks so much again! God bless you and love you all! ” she wrote.

Last June, KC admitted that she and her mom had some disagreements, adding their relationship is not perfect.
