Divine Diva Zsa Zsa Padilla took to social media to give fans an update after dealing with a recent health scare following a string of commitments over the past few days.
On Facebook, the singer revealed that she had to be isolated for three days after experiencing feverish symptoms.
“Na-isolate ako for three days dahil bukod sa sipon, ubo, at low-grade fever, nagka-conjunctivitis (pink eye) pa ako. Super sakit ng right side ng face at ulo ko. Nagkaroon pa ako ng broken capillaries sa mata, kaya nag-isolate talaga ako dahil sobrang nakakahawa ang sakit sa mata,” Zsa Zsa shared.
Her parents, who are currently in the country visiting her, also caught the flu, prompting her to book an appointment with their family doctor.
“Sabi ni Mama, umuubo na rin daw si Papa, kaya gumawa ako ng appointment para sa aming tatlo. Salamat sa pulmonologist ko, si Dr. Ron Aquino- Ilang dekada ko na siyang doktor, at siya rin ang naging doktor ni Dolphy noong nagka-COPD siya,” she added.
She later shared that her father also contracted the same virus, saying: “Nahawa ko si Papa ng parehong virus- oh no! 😟 May conjunctivitis na rin siya. Pero noong huli ko siyang nakita, wala pa akong conjunctivitis noon. Kawawa naman, 91 years old na siya. Si Mama naman, nagsisimula pa lang ang ubo niya.”
Zsa Zsa and her parents eventually consulted their doctors and are now on the mend. She was also advised to take time off.
“I feel a lot better now. Thanks din sa family doctor namin- si Dr. Art Onglao, kapatid ni Conrad. Ang sarap talaga may doktor sa pamilya, laging may matatakbuhan kapag may sakit. Pinagbawalan pa ako ni Dr. Ron na mag-workout. 😞Parang alam nya na gusto ko ng maglaro ng badminton. 🏸 haha Sabi ko- ay, balak ko pa namang mag gym na sa Sabado!” she expressed.
Because of her condition, the singer announced she would miss her ASAP schedule: “Unfortunately, absent ako sa live at taping ng ASAP. Miss ko na ang lahat ng mga kasamahan ko.”
She also reminded everyone to take extra precautions, especially the summer season is approaching.
“Take care, everyone! Huwag kalimutang mag-mask kapag nasa crowded areas, lalo na indoors,” she said. “Papasok na ang init, ano? Kahapon ko talaga naramdaman kasi bihira lang ako gumamit ng aircon sa hapon. Pero yesterday, hindi ko na natiis at pinalamig ko ang kwarto.”
Looking ahead, Zsa Zsa shared that their family plans to spend time at her resort once fully recovered: “Next week, summer na! Ano ang plano ng family ninyo this summer? Kami, pupunta sa Casa Esperanza para mag-swimming—pero siyempre, kailangan munang gumaling kaming lahat para walang mahawa. Ingat!”
Prior to her illness, Zsa Zsa had been in Cebu for a scheduled show with her daughter Zia Quizon. She also shared that her parents, Carlos and Esperanza, recently flew to Manila to spend time with family, including her eldest daughter Karylle and son-in-law Yael Yuzon, as well as Zia’s husband, Aleksa.
“My parents finally made it to Manila together! They arrived last Friday evening and have been enjoying all the amazing food. I had to take a quick trip to Cebu for a concert with Zia, but I’m back and soaking up time with them now. My sister Suzy and her husband Ray are also in town,” Zsa Zsa said.
“It’s been extra special because my parents finally got to meet Yael’s parents— and Aleksa, Zia’s husband, too,” she continued.
