Ardent viewers of TV3 ‘Music Music’ might have wandered where their popular hostess has gone to since she was missing on screens for over a year. Some might even think “Stacy might have gone to give birth” in her own words.
At the Neighbourhood Evangelism architectured by Timothy Bentum on the wings of Actors, Presenters, Professionals and Musicians for Christ (APPMC), Stacy shared the most touching story. She was off screens because she was experiencing excruciating pain from ailment which was later diagnosed as ‘appendix’.
According to the Hostess cum Business woman, she arrived from the United Kingdom in September last two years when she had a terrible dream that dawn she arrived which woke her up screaming. She started vomiting green substances.
The wife of Okyeame Quofi added that, her husband thought she was poisoned so she was sent to the hospital to be diagnosed. She was sent to the hospital only to be told she has to be operated on since that was the only remedy.
After calls to her Pastor who instructed her not to allow the Medical Professionals touch her with a knife, the ‘stubborn’ nurses and Doctor refused and was sent to the Theatre. She was operated and whatever caused the appendix was removed.
The mother of two could not walk for some weeks after the operation but the Medical Professionals gave her hope that all will be well. She was aided anything she wanted to use the washroom. “I didn’t want to be in pampers; hell no!” She said.
Stacy Amoateng detailed that, after a while, her hair started falling off and she grew leaner than a 9 year old underfed child. That heightened her fear of what was happening to her.
“I asked Him to let me go if He cannot heal me” Stacy passionately asked God. Her children had to quit school since the burden on the family became very heavy.
All those while, Stacy was on water melon and water feed from June last year to February this year because any food she ate would not settle. She would vomit everything out.
The ‘Music Music’ chanter adds that she then strengthened her faith in God and dared Him (God) to do something. It was after that prayer that she felt wanting to use the toilet. According to her, what came out from her was very smelly to the extent that it woke her husband from bed and made him ask her “Ekua wo yiemu no no?” (Is that how smelly your stomach is?).
She felt hungry that moment and asked her husband for food; statement she has not made in years. That was when her health became better.
Speaking to a silent auditorium, Stacy’s description of her worse health situation was equal to symptoms of Leukemia. She says this has strengthened her faith in God and now a better Christian than before.
She admitted that there is serious ‘Juju’ in Showbiz. it was not clear whether she was saying her situation was caused by a spell by some ‘haters’ in the industry.
If you were pondering why Stacy was off the screens for all those years, this is the reason behind it.
