He’s very important because he saved my life.” Asked why she picked the name Derek, Fergie joked: “I don’t know. It just made me laugh that I have now a friend who is with me all the time who is protecting me with his shield of armour.” She added: “I have a got a perky here friend on my left.
Poor Eric on the right is feeling rather sad because he is not as perky as Derek on the left but I will get Eric balanced, don’t worry.” Sarah said she is “getting much better” and that she was “kind of proud of the amazing work” of the surgeons and doctors who helped her.
