The talk show host Ellen DeGeneres went through a truly terrifying ordeal this past Friday when she had to rush her wife Portia de Rossi to the hospital for emergency appendectomy surgery. On Tuesday, DeGeneres opened up about the ordeal, and gave fans an update about how her “Arrested Development” star wife is doing.

“Anybody else have to rush their wife to the emergency room for an appendectomy? Anybody? No? Just me? OK,” DeGeneres said to her audience on her daily eponymous talk show.

DeGeneres went on to say that de Rossi first said she wasn’t feeling well at around 8 p.m. on Friday night, and though they went to bed early, the comedian soon awoke to find her wife “on the floor on all fours.”

“So I rush her to the ER, and we’re driving and she’s in so much pain, and I’m worried about her, and I don’t know what’s wrong with her, because as you know, I grew up Christian Science, so my best guess was a demon,” DeGeneres recalled, according to Entertainment Tonight. “So anyway, they gave her a CT scan and I didn’t know what that was.”

Though de Rossi was admitted to the hospital overnight, DeGeneres was told that she had to go home because of COVID-19 protocols.

“The next morning, they call and they said, ‘It’s the appendix. We have to take the appendix out,'” she recounted.

The Mayo Clinic defines appendicitis as an inflammation of the appendix, and it causes pain in your lower right abdomen. The pain increases as the inflammation worsens, eventually becoming incredibly severe. The standard treatment is emergency surgery to remove the appendix altogether.

While DeGeneres said that de Rossi was “in a lot of pain” after surgery, she added that she is “feeling much better now.”

“She’s home. She came home late yesterday,” she said. “Not all of her, she left her appendix at the hospital.”

This comes after The New York Times reported that DeGeneres’ ratings have plummeted since her toxic workplace scandal last summer, and that she’s lost over one million viewers since then. Since DeGeneres apologized on her show to kick off this season in September, her show has been averaging 1.5 million viewers, compared to 2.6 million last year, and her ratings fell 38% in a core demographic for the show, which is adult women under the age of 54.

It seems that this is not an easy time to be Ellen DeGeneres.
