Amy Winehouse Wants To Attend The Grammys, But Is Taken To Hospital Instead
Amy Winehouse, currently in a rehab center in the UK, was taken to the hospital after she became dehydrated:
Confirming that his daughter remained under "medical supervision," Mitch Winehouse told BBC radio station 1Xtra that the singer, 24, spent a night in the hospital, where she was placed in a drip as a means "to rehydrate her after she'd been vomiting" as part of her treatment for drug addiction.Amy Winehouse entered rehab on Jan. 24.
"Everything is going according to plan, and she's perfectly okay," Mitch Winehouse said, explaining that Amy was now out of the hospital and back in the rehab center.
Of course she's been vomiting...her body is probably freaking out that the steady diet of drugs and crisps have been taken away (well, I don't know about the crisps...btw, that's chips, for those of us in the US). And I can see where she'd be dehydrated, because she's so thin I can't see that she'd have anything to throw up. But, at least she's still in rehab...which qualifies her for a Breath Of Fresh Air award (that's two I've given out today, wonder if I can find someone else and make it a hat trick).
The news that she still wants to attend the Grammy Awards, where she's been nominated in six categories, comes as no surprise. However, I don't see how it is going to happen. She just went into rehab January 24, and the Grammys are February 10. She'd have to leave the UK at least two days in advance because of the travel time and time changes. So that would give her perhaps 15 days in rehab.
I don't see how that is going to be enough. Problems such as this do not surface overnight, and they will not go away overnight. Just learning and accepting that you have a problem isn't the solution, it's just the first step. Even getting your body clean from the toxins drugs cause isn't enough. Look at all the time Lindsay Lohan spent in rehab, and she's still having problems with relapses.
The only way I can see it happening is if a medical professional and her father accompanies her (btw, where is her mother is all this?), stays with her the entire time, and all of them go immediately on a plane back to the UK and she returns straight to rehab.
Regardless, she is doing well to continue in rehab, and I wish her all the best in her continued fight.
