Back in May, Mediacorp actor Richard Low, affectionately known to fans as Limpeh, gave many a scare when he revealed he had been hospitalised for six days after suddenly losing control of his bowel and bladder.<\/p>\n
Now, two months on, 8days was relieved to see the 74-year-old back to his cheerful, high-spirited self at the press conference for Mediacorp’s upcoming drama Old & Dangerous.<\/p>\n
In the Channel 8 slice-of-life series, Low plays a retired Special Operations Force officer who shares a heartwarming friendship with four former unit mates, portrayed by Chen Shucheng, Zhu Houren, Wang Yuqing and Li Wen Hai.<\/p>\n
The veteran actor even appeared in good spirits while chatting with reporters, casually taking his health supplements between interviews.<\/p>\n
When asked about his condition, the actor told local news Zaobao that he is “temporarily okay”.<\/p>\n
He went on to reveal that his hospitalisation was caused by diverticular disease, a condition in which small pouch-like sacs develop in the wall of the large intestine. In his case, it resulted in intestinal bleeding.<\/p>\n
“When I got up in the morning and went to the toilet, I saw blood in my stool. I immediately thought: ‘This is bad,'” Low recalled.<\/p>\n
“I had a bad feeling that the same thing that happened 20 years ago might be happening again.”<\/p>\n
As it turned out, his instincts were right.<\/p>\n
Low shared that he had suffered from the same condition two decades earlier, so the familiar symptoms immediately raised alarm bells.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
