"It's not going to kill me, but I do have a machine -- and how dare you talk about the swelling of it all," she added.Williams reassured her tensed fans that she was doing alright despite the new diagnosis and cracked a joke that the machines have alleviated the swelling which is a huge hit at parties."I've got it under control. If [the swelling] in my feet never goes all the way down, at least I have this machine," she explained. "I sit for 45 minutes a day. It's the best party entertainer ever. Everybody [that] comes over wants to do it."( With inputs from ANI )
