On the mend!

Dolores Catania confirms that the “non-cosmetic emergency medical procedure” Teresa Giudice underwent last week was to remove her appendix.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey star shared the news while chatting with E! News. She also gave an update on how Teresa is healing following surgery.

“She had her appendix out,” Dolores explained on Monday. “Now, it just takes time to heal. But it was emergency surgery, so she’s in a lot of pain.”

Dolores added that she “just spoke” with Tre and “she’s not well” after coming from the hospital on Friday.

“She’s not feeling good at all. It’s bad,” Dolores explained. “She’s in a tremendous amount of pain.”

Over the weekend, Teresa received loads of get-well flowers and gifts from her friends and family. Dolores and her boyfriend, Paul Connell, sent an Edible Arrangement, while Bill and Jen Aydin sent flowers.

Caroline Manzo and Dolores Catania are still as thick as thieves all these years later.

The two longtime friends hung out this weekend in Los Angeles where they got dinner, had drinks, and so on.

Dolores documented the outing on Instagram, captioning a group of photos, “Back in LaLa Land ? ? Nothing like palm trees & good friends ?.”

A day later, the Real Housewives of New Jersey OG posted several photos of her and Dolores while gushing about their long-standing friendship.

“Back home from a quick trip to L.A. where I Met some new friends and spent some time with one of my oldest ones. We are an unlikely pair @dolorescatania but our friendship has stood the test of time,” Caroline wrote.

For years, the idea of Caroline returning to RHONJ has been swirling around social media with Caroline even admitting she’d be open to coming back to the show as a full-time Housewife.

“Caroline loved the good moments on RHONJ and would be very open to coming back to the show full-time, but only as a full-time wife. It doesn’t matter to her who’s in the cast, as long as Bravo comes correct, meaning a good offer and not a friend, she’d be very interested in considering returning to the show,” an insider told HollywoodLife in 2020.

In the last year alone, RHONJ stars Melissa Gorga, Jackie Goldschneider, and Margaret Josephs have all said they want Caroline back on the show.

Now the question is – Will Bravo listen and bring Caroline back? Only time will tell.

On the road to recovery!

Teresa Giudice was admitted to the hospital on Wednesday night for an “emergency medical procedure,” according to Page Six.

On Thursday, Teresa’s oldest daughter Gia Giudice first shared the news that her mom had been admitted to the hospital.

“Such a trooper. I love you,” the 21-year-old wrote over a photo of Teresa in a hospital bed. “Pray for a speedy recovery. I love you, @teresagiudice.”

“She is in recovery, currently resting, and she thanks everyone for their prayers and well-wishes,” Teresa’s rep tells Page Six, noting the surgery was “non-cosmetic.”

The Real Housewives of New Jersey star is set to be released from the hospital “within the next 24 hours,” the rep adds.

Teresa’s ex-husband, Joe Giudice, also posted about her hospital visit. A Celebuzz article Joe linked in his Instagram profile reveals that Teresa had her appendix removed.
