(Comedian Amy Schumer revealed on Friday that she’s spent 5 days in the hospital, sidelined with a serious infection.
“I was hospitalized for 5 days with a horrible kidney infection,” the comedian wrote in a post to her social media. “I want to give a big thank you to the doctors, the bad a– nurses also my husband who’s name is, I want to say, Chris? and my sisters Kimby and mol who have been by my side the whole time.”
Due to her illness, Schumer, 36, announced that she’d be missing some promotional appearances for her upcoming film, including its London premiere.
Schumer concluded by saying, “I am so grateful for all the support the movie is getting. I hope people check it out in England and everywhere else in the world. It’s sweet and fun and you will walk out feeling better. Which is something I hope to feel soon too.”
“I’m really disappointed selfishly to miss this trip because I love London and Europe in general and all the great people (food) there,” Schumer wrote in an Instagram post. “But I need to put my health first.”

Schumer is currently promoting her latest film, “I Feel Pretty” which hit the theaters last week to tepid reviews, but decent box office revenue of $18m, which is respectable for a non super hero movie in the age of Disney-Marvel.
