The 46-year-old actor is ready to embark on the \u201chard work\u201d of \u201cfixing\u201d her medical problems and noted the positives of her health struggles meant she had enjoyed a \u201crestful\u201d end to the year.<\/p>\n
She continued: \u201cNow, my job is to get to the bottom of that with the doctors and then embark on the hard work of fixing it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t look forward to it because I feel, like, hard work is all I do. That\u2019s OK, my cognitive decline since I smashed my face open has helped me to slow down and helped me to have a more restful finished 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n
Noting she\u2019d experienced \u201cthe most restful holiday\u201d season she\u2019d ever had, Evangeline added: \u201cThat\u2019s a good thing. [I\u2019m] feeling extraordinarily grateful and blessed to be able to play one more day, one more year on this beautiful living planet. That is my concussion update. Thank you all for caring.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Ant-Man actor has an \u201cuphill battle\u201d to get back to full health.<\/p>\n
She captioned her video: \u201cComforting to know my cognitive decline isn\u2019t just peri-menopause, discomforting to know what an uphill battle it will be to try to reverse the deficiencies.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you all for always asking, for always caring, and for your continued prayers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lilly detailed her accident on Instagram last May.<\/p>\n
She wrote on Instagram at the time: \u201cI fainted at the beach and fell face first into a boulder.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the hospital, the nurses and doctor went straight into action, more determined to find the cause of my blackout than to stitch up the hole punctured into my face by the rock. I smiled wryly at them. \u2018You won\u2019t find anything.\u2019 I said with a woozy voice.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 46-year-old actor is ready to embark on the \u201chard work\u201d of \u201cfixing\u201d her medical problems and noted…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":215695,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[1081,74,1558,1596,22510,156,130311,5504,6871,685,101,28096,5836,111,139,69,2737,102,379],"class_list":["post-215694","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-accident","tag-after","tag-been","tag-brain","tag-damage","tag-entertainment","tag-evangeline","tag-following","tag-has","tag-last","tag-left","tag-lilly","tag-lost","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-star","tag-with","tag-year"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215694","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=215694"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215694\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/215695"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=215694"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=215694"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=215694"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
