She penned: "What I thought was just an intense and painful ocular migraine slowly turned into my left eye going blind, I was advised to not fly home.
"So alas, I can't open for the best people/friends/musicians tonight for a sold out benefit at troubadour which blows a**.
"It's now been 15 days both colourblind and a black hazy cellophane type feel on the left side and ANYWAY it's been very disorienting and scary.

"Most of my little health woes are from me being clumsy as hell and snapping something: an ankle in softball, an ankle from dumb shoes, an ankle from giving a piggyback ride to a much larger person as a display of strength.
"My ankles are toast btw. This is why I don't like writing captions omg long ting brev; thank you for letting me be myself.
"Been one of the scariest times but my best friends are taking care of me and also are hilarious and also after MUCH ADO have met an angel ophthalmologist, Dr. Shaman Dolly, god forbid you ever need to find him, London, I must let you know his name."
She continued: "London show; you were all so sweet and caring to me when and I lost it and wept on stage smdh, @jameelajamil came to the stage and literally turned herself into a weighted blanket and held me and told me it's gonna be ok. No thanks to lexapro btw.
"I'm on the way to get an MRI in an Uber and unsure why no one likes using their car fan in UK/EU and I've gotten ct scans and bloodwork and yada yada literally 7 trips to hospitals now.
"Anyway. I'm incredibly lucky. My heart is heavy waiting on a prognosis, but my a** is heavier, and my resilience is alarming actually, and the lore disrespectfully deepens, and I'm getting the sense more people want to smash when I'm wearing my eyepatch or I'm pulling it off.

She wrote: "I couldn't be happier to represent my country at the Euros. I'm so grateful for the opportunity. Let's make Switzerland proud and show how football is growing." Lehmann was named on the bench for her nation's opening game against Norway in Basel on Wednesday. She used to date Juventus men's team player Douglas Luiz, having joined him in a stunning double transfer from Aston Villa. However, in May it was reported they had broken up.

An own goal from Julia Stierli before that penalty miss was the decisive blow in the game. With Finland also beating Iceland 1-0 in the opener, Switzerland currently sit in third in Group A.
