Bret Easton Ellis<\/a> \u2013 wrote to friends to say he fell over at home and later had to be rushed for emergency treatment.<\/p>\nIn an email he sent to friends which was obtained by Page Six, Jay said he had a dizzy spell followed by a fall at his home in Manhattan, New York, and woke up the next morning to find \u201cblood all over the bedroom, the bathroom, the hallway, the bed and the pillow\u201d.<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cEventually had to explain to the cleaning lady I hadn\u2019t murdered anyone and give her a bonus.\u201d<\/p>\n
When Jay consulted a doctor he said they \u201cdiscovered a four inch gash in the back of my head\u201d, adding: \u201cA CAT scan eventually revealed two Subdural hematomas inside my skull. I was pretty dizzy and my vision was blurry and sometimes doubled and the next few weeks are a little vague.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cSo I apologise if I kind of disappeared during recent weeks. Email got ignored. \u201cI tried to make lists but it didn\u2019t really help. I forgot to look at the lists. And I took a lot of naps, a talent I never really possessed before.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nJay underwent a \u201ctwo-hour brain procedure\u201d as a result of his injury and Jay admitted: \u201cMy CAT scan to check on the procedure two weeks later wasn\u2019t too good.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nHe said: \u201cI was just on my way out to dinner last Monday night when I got a call from the hospital insisting that I go to the emergency room immediately. Naturally, I said, \u2018Well, can\u2019t I go to dinner first?\u2019<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI felt fine and Roscioli was (hard) to get into.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nBut Jay said a doctor\u2019s assistant told him he could end up keeling over at the restaurant \u2013 a warning he said led to him \u201creluctantly\u201d going to an emergency room, and then the Intensive Care Unit where he said \u201cthe nurse confiscated the half bottle of Krug that had somehow found its way into my overnight bag, though not before I managed to sneak a glass\u201d.<\/p>\n
\nJay subsequently had surgery, which he said left him with \u201ctwo holes in my skull\u201d and \u201clots of staples\u201d.<\/p>\n
\nHe said: \u201cHappily almost all my hair seems intact, if not entirely clean.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nJay\u2019s wife Anne Hearst was by his side during the trauma and said it was something he \u201cdefinitely\u201d doesn\u2019t want to experience again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
