She shared a photo from a hospital bed as she looked up at the camera and posted about her sadness of having to go to A&E alone.
Michelle wrote: “Well life took a turn.

“It’s one of the reasons I’m so passionate about Bad Friend, you might have a whole bunch of friends to invite to your birthday but how many do you have who you can call at midnight to come with you to A&E?”
She continued: “The irony is not lost on me that my last post was saying how this year was turning out to be my best year yet.
"Even two days ago, I was being asked about my past surgeries and I said I’d been on such a good streak.
“I also got asked the other day how do you deal with chronic illness and I said this: live as much life as you can between the hospitalisations. And right now, I really really mean it.”

Michelle Elman reveals she ‘floated above her body’ after ‘dying’ during brain surgery
Michelle was born with a brain tumour and hydrocephalus, an excess of cerebrospinal fluid, and went into surgery so doctors could run tests on her brain.
Speaking on Loose Women a few years back, she described how death felt “peaceful and calm”.
She said: “I still remember floating above my bed.
"What's really nice to know is it's a really calm sensation when you die, and that's what I'd like to tell people because it gives you a bit solace that even in the last moments it's really peaceful and really calm.
“In my head it was five minutes but apparently it was a few seconds. I remember everything that happened but apparently my eyes were closed.
“I didn't talk about it for years but it makes me sound a bit crazy.”
has spent much of her life in and out of hospital and had 15 surgeries in her first two decades.
These include operations to fix an obstructed bowel and punctured intestine.
She’s been left with scars on her stomach following her numerous procedures, but hasn’t let it hold her back.
Speaking of her scars, she has said to the Sun Online in the past: “When you grow up with scars like mine, there is a point in your childhood when you realise your body is different to everyone else’s.
“My moment was when I was aged 10. Up until that point, I didn’t notice the difference between my stomach and my brother’s.
“I realised that when I was younger, people’s looks of shock, pity and horror weren’t about really my appearance, they were about how an 11-year-old girl could have gone through so much.
“They weren’t reacting to my body because it was ugly, they were reacting to my story because it happens to be a sad one - and one that is painted on my body.

“Now when people ask me why I love my scars, my answer is simple: because they are mine.
“I only get one body and the body that I have deserves love. My scars have saved my life. I wouldn’t be alive if it wasn’t for them.”
