NEWSElizabeth Taylor Tweets About Heart Surgery
Oct. 6 2009, Published 10:48 a.m. ET
Dame Elizabeth Taylor is quite the techno-savvy lady -- so much so that she's taken to her Twitter page to let her fans know that she's going to the hospital for a heart procedure, instead of the old-fashioned way of releasing a statement via a publicist.
Her series of Tweets reads, in full:
"Dear Friends, I would like to let you know before it gets in the papers that I am going into the hospital to have a procedure on my heart.
Want OK! each day? Sign up here!
It's very new and involves repairing my leaky valve using a clip device, without open heart surgery, so that my heart will function better.
Any prayers you happen to have lying around I would dearly appreciate. I'll let you know when it's all over. Love you, Elizabeth."
Our thoughts are with you, Dame Elizabeth!
