Rondell Sheridan, known for his role on Disney Channel’s “That’s So Raven,” took to social media to announce that he’s been diagnosed with severe pancreatitis.

The actor and comedian, now 66, spoke from a hospital bed.

“On April 10th, I was on the road and got sick,” he said. “Went to the hospital, and they thought it was gastric. I got home on the 12th and immediately went to the hospital at North Ridge and was told it’s pancreatitis,” he said. “Tons of tests. I was in the hospital for nine days. I got released and thought I was on the road to recovery but … my pancreas is inflamed and there’s not much you can do about it but just wait.”

Sheridan said he hasn’t been able to work due to his hospitalization and money is tight.

“I didn’t realize I was going to be, and will be, out of work for quite some time,” he said in the clip. “I’m setting up this GoFundMe to help with some of my medical bills and just expenses. If you have anything that you could donate, I’d gladly appreciate it. Thank you so much.”
