The author of the words in the purple box is actress Sharon Stone, who apparently has no shame and wants the whole world to know, or at least anyone with a Facebook account. But then, she's not starring in any new movies so I guess you stay current however you can in Hollywood. That's fine, and really it's her business. My beef is with her very last sentence: "It's all good."
Really -- it's all good? I mean, it's all good? These are the things that Sharon says are good:
1. She just received another misdiagnosis, so that means she has had at least one before this. And then she had an incorrect procedure, which sounds really awful. Like what did they do, fix the wrong body part? (That's not even partially good, forget "all good.")
2. She had to have a double epidural. (Definitely bad.)
3. She experienced worsening pain and had to get a second opinion! God knows how long it took to get that appointment, this obviously had been going on for some time. (Again, all bad.)
4. She has a large fibroid tumor that must come out! That means surgery, and that's never good under any circumstances.
5. She will be "down" for 4-6 weeks to recover. (Very, very bad.)
Then she ends with, "It's all good." WTF? Either Sharon is exhibiting signs of early-onset dementia at the age of 64 and has confused the words "good" and "bad," or she has fallen prey to the mindless use of a platitude which conveys nothing, is basically meaningless, and serves as a way to end a statement when the speaker can't think of anything real to say.
I'll bet you anything that Sharon says, "At the end of the day" even when it isn't, like in the morning or afternoon. I hate that, and lose respect for people who say that. It's all good.
