“It was beyond,” said Teddi, 44 Podcast “The Jamie Kern Lima Show”. “The things that I would not be able to do without my father – not only for financial reasons.”
Teddi explained that she “was pride” when it was a question of doing things without the help of her famous father, but everything changed when she fell ill.
“With all these medical treatments and everything, he intervened. He helped me have a nurse, ”she continued. “He calls me every day. He makes sure that I’m fine.”
The 73 -year -old singer “knew” that Teddi needed home help after making a comment at the hospital on her illness.
“There was something that, when I was in the hospital, that I said that everyone concerned one of my last days. They kept telling me that I was going to be able to leave,” recalls Teddi, noting that she had to stay in the hospital another day because her “salt would not become high enough”.

Last February, she underwent surgery to eliminate several tumors after cancer metastasized in her brain and her lungs. She is currently undergo immunotherapy treatments.)

I have the impression that everyone would be better without me, ”recalls Teddi. “I was so afraid of going home and not being the me that I was when I left the house. It was frightening. “

At that time, John intervened and obtained Teddi a home nurse. The first Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Star said that she “did not expect that” her father at all.
“He gives me advice that, as, I need to hear sometimes,” she continued. “Even the fact that he calls me every night and it is not sold. I may not remind him a few nights, but he will always call every night at the same time.”
Teddi explained that behavior is a change from his childhood, noting that John was “always 100%” as a father, but she had to ask first.
“Now it is there, whether I ask or that I do not ask,” she added.
