Fhima, who previously competed for Gerry Turner's heart on ABC's senior citizen spinoff of The Bachelor, shared the details of her health scare with her Instagram followers.
In an Instagram Story video uploaded on Sunday afternoon, Fhima informed her 75,100 followers that she spent her birthday in the hospital. Hooked up to an IV while lying on a hospital bed, she revealed her bowel blockage and the intense cramping that landed her in the emergency room. Fhima emphasized the importance of not delaying seeking medical help for severe stomach issues, urging others not to wait as she did.
The cause of Fhima's pain turned out to be scar tissue from an appendectomy she had undergone at the age of 18. Despite the setback, she expressed her excitement to be discharged and reunited with her dog.
While Fhima faced health challenges on her birthday, the focus is also on Gerry Turner, who chose Theresa Nist as the winner on The Golden Bachelor. Turner and Nist recently announced their plans to tie the knot just a few weeks after their engagement. The couple shared their enthusiasm about their upcoming wedding, with Turner expressing certainty that he had found the right partner.
Nist, formerly married to her childhood sweetheart Billy, shared her anticipation for the wedding, describing Turner as the man of her dreams. They both expressed their desire to savor the process of planning their special day and were looking forward to an incredible wedding ceremony.
Turner and Nist's relationship has shown that despite their respective experiences of loss, they have found joy and laughter in each other's company. Their focus is on their shared future as a married couple, prioritizing their emotional well-being and the enjoyment they bring to each other's lives.
As Leslie Fhima recovers from her health scare and Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist prepare to exchange vows, fans of The Golden Bachelor are eagerly awaiting the next chapter of these contestants' lives, hoping for happiness and success in their future endeavors.
