Serena Williams has finally released a statement about her emergency operation for a hematoma on Monday. The tennis star called the pulmonary embolism “scary,” according to People.

“Thank you everyone for all of your prayers, concerns, and support. This has been extremely hard, scary, and disappointing. I am doing better, I’m at home now and working with my doctors to keep everything under control.”

“I know I will be okay, but am praying and hoping this will all be behind me soon. While I can’t make any promises now on my return [to tennis], I hope to be back by early summer. That said, my main goal is to make sure I get there safely.”

Her rep also says in a statement, “Thankfully everything was caught in time. With continued doctor visits to monitor her situation, she is recuperating at home under strict medical supervision.”
