When Aftonbladet reaches Gunilla Persson65, is in the middle of talking to an attendant at the Los Angeles hospital.
It is Thursday morning in California and the Hollywood wife has spent her third night in the hospital bed.
At the beginning of the week, she fainted outside her home and had to be taken by ambulance to the emergency room after suffering acute dizziness.
– I felt like I was about to pass out and Erika held me. It turned black and it’s clear that you get really scared, says Gunilla Persson.
Despite medical examinations and medication, she has not yet received an answer to what is behind the dizziness attacks.
– They have tried to make a diagnosis, but it is probably the crystal disease. A great many examinations have been carried out on me and I have received fluids intravenously and a lot of medication, says Gunilla Persson.
– But what makes me happy and relieved is that it was nothing dangerous.
Forced to postpone the trip to Sweden – Mello around the corner
In two and a half weeks, the Hollywood wife will perform her song “I won’t shake La la Gunilla” in Melodifestivalen’s third competition.
Because of the hospital stay, she is forced to rebook her trip home to Sweden and leaves five days later than planned.
– It gives me few days to come again. Among other things, I will practice a lot in the dance studio.
Persson says that she is obviously worried about being bedridden so shortly before the performance.
– You can only hope and pray to God that he keeps me strong so that I can handle it.

Lying in an alarmed bed
It is still unclear when she can go home from the hospital, but the Hollywood wife hopes as soon as possible.
– I’m not allowed to get up and they have an alarm on the bed. I can’t even go to the toilet by myself. But Erika comes to visit and was here with flowers yesterday.
– Now we’ll see how I feel today, I haven’t been up and walking yet. It may even happen that I can come home today if I feel better.

“I think it’s good that you can sue hospitals”
Gunilla Persson thinks that she has been well taken care of and properly examined.
– What is so good about the USA compared to Sweden is that here you are so madly afraid of being sued. After all, you can sue the hospital for millions of dollars and even the doctor personally if they don’t investigate when it’s serious.
– In Sweden, it is not possible to sue anyone and then you only get a pittance or nothing. I think it is good that you can sue hospitals.
