Daddy Winehouse: 'Amy's Got Emphysema'

Last week I posted a rumor that that Amy Winehouse was suffering from Tuberculosis. Turns out that was incorrect and the singer is actually diagnosed with emphysema! How awful. Mitch Winehouse (Amy's Dad) gave a statement to the Sunday Mirror about his daughter's current condition... and it's not good.  

People Magazine recaps: 

"With smoking the crack cocaine and the cigarettes her lungs are all gunked up. There are nodules around the chest and dark marks. She's got 70 percent lung capacity."

"When we got to the hospital a room was ready. Several doctors came in and checked to make sure she didn't need any emergency treatment. They put her on a drip straight away because she was dehydrated. She said, 'Don't worry about me, dad. I know I've got to stop taking drugs now.'"

"She's got emphysema. It's in its early stages, but had it gone on for another month they painted a very vivid picture of her sitting there like an old person with a mask on her face struggling to breathe."

 After she was admitted, she "curled up in bed" and slept for three straight days.

Well, at least it is in its early stages, so there might be some hope for her to recover.

I'm not at all surprised. She needs to stay in the hospital until she kicks the drug habit, if possible.

Y'know......the only way the doctors could examine her was when she finally crashed, from being awake for 2 days straight. That's when they found the lump in her chest, according to her dad. According to the Daily Mirror, Winehouse is claimed to be sooooooo desperate to perform at the Mandela concert and Glastonbury this weekend, that there will be a masseuse, ambulance, hospital equipment. Also, no booze or cigs will be permitted. I'll give this new-found sobriety 4 days. "I don't want views shoved down my throat, unless they're covered in a candy-coated shell." - Stephen Colbert

I'm going to H-E - double hockey sticks for this, but Amy is starting to look like a J.R.R. Tolkein character from 'The Rings'.

Emphysema is not reversible, but she can stop further damage if she has the strength to stop smoking in all its forms. How old is she? 24? And already has emphysema. Looking at her, that's probably not all that's wrong with her what with her scabby skin and skinny, under-nourished body. She is a walking deterrent for getting involved with drugs. Lung capacity reduced to 70% is not good news for a singer. Will she learn from this episode, or return to her old ways once she's not so sick? What a waste of talent and life...
