Pauline Hanson has been inundated with comments from well-wishers after having her appendix removed and has vowed to be 'in fine form' for the election. The One Nation leader, 64, shared a picture of herself in hospital in Canberra on Wednesday after having emergency surgery. Dozens of supporters rushed to pass on their good wishes - and Hanson replied to several fans. She also praised the 'wonderful' doctors and nurses who looked after her, saying 'you realise how helpless you are when you don't have your health.' One Nation leader Pauline Hanson was raced to hospital on Tuesday for emergency surgery to remove her appendix Dozens of supporters rushed to pass on their good wishes - and Hanson replied to several fans One fan Mick Gardner wrote: 'Having a bad trot there Pauline,' and the Queensland senator replied: 'From the tick to this, it's been a rough week. It won't keep me down for long though Mick.' She also wrote to another commenter: 'It's the equivalent of a quick service before a long road trip. I'll be in fine form before the election is called.' Hanon's latest health scare occurred as her former Senate running mate Fraser Anning was censured in Parliament for his comments last month blaming Muslims for the Christchurch massacre which saw 50 Muslims killed in New Zealand. It also came just days after the Qatari-owned Al Jazeera network's hidden-camera expose on One Nation officials was broadcast on the ABC. The One Nation leader was left 'unrecognisable' after a paralysis tick bit her face last week 'Over the weekend I felt extraordinarily unwell. At first, I thought it was a case of food poisoning so I just took it easy,' she told her Facebook followers on Wednesday afternoon. 'I woke yesterday morning to continued pains in my stomach and decided to see a GP,' Senator Hanson said. 'Surgeons determined I needed an emergency operation to remove my appendix. 'Compared to the pain I was in before the surgery, today's pain is a lot less and I plan on being back on my feet tomorrow.' A week ago, Senator Hanson was left 'unrecognisable' after suffering facial paralysis from a tick bite when she was still in Queensland. Ms Hanson said she felt 'extraordinarily unwell' over the weekend but assumed it was a case of food poisoning Her sister Judy Smith had told Daily Mail Australia the senator was unwell, as the One Nation leader cancelled public appearances. 'No, she's not okay,' she said. While most tick bites don't cause symptoms, in some cases they can spark an allergic reaction, including anaphylactic shock and breathing problems. What can a tick bite do? Ticks inject an anticoagulant, which prevents blood clots, when they bite into skin. This highly-toxic saliva can cause paralysis to humans. In severe cases, allergic reactions can lead to swelling of the throat and breathing problems. Some people suffer anaphylactic shock. Early symptoms of tick paralysis may include rashes, headache, fever, influenza like symptoms, tenderness of lymph nodes, unsteady gait, intolerance to bright light, increased weakness of the limbs and partial facial paralysis. Tick paralysis, while rare, is usually seen in children rather than adults. Most tick bites pose no medical problems apart from some localised swelling and redness at the bite site if the tick is removed quickly.

Her tick bite occurred the day after Al Jazeera network's How To Sell A Massacre documentary was broadcast on the ABC, showing her chief-of-staff James Ashby and her party's Queensland leader Steve Dickson agreeing to the idea of soliciting $20 million in political donations from the American National Rifle Association. Senator Hanson had also been duped by journalist Rodger Muller, who had posed as the founder of the fictitious Guns Rights Australia lobby group. She had been caught on camera suggesting the 1996 Port Arthur massacre in Tasmania, which saw 35 people shot dead, was a government conspiracy to take away guns. Senator Hanson fronted the media in Brisbane on Thursday last week, claiming she supported Australia's existing ban on semi-automatic weapons, adding that gunman Martin Bryant was the only person involved in the mass slaughter 23 years ago. On Wednesday, the Senate passed a censure motion against Senator Anning, who was third on One Nation's Queensland ticket at the 2016 election. Senator Hanson condemned Senator Anning's March 15 media statement, issued hours after the Christchurch massacre. But she has opposed the censure motion against the MP, who defected from One Nation in November 2017, the day he was sworn into Parliament to replace Malcolm Roberts, who was found to be a dual citizen.
