"Sarah Hyland is a very good actress.\r\nThe Modern Family star opened up in an interview with Good Morning America Monday about her new confession in Seventeen magazine that she&amp;apos;s been suffering from kidney dysplasia. The 21-year-old actress had to hide the pain of her disease on the hit ABC show before receiving a kidney transplant last month.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I would be in a lot of pain a lot of the time. If I didn&amp;apos;t get, like 12 hours of sleep -- It felt, like, none at all,&amp;quot; Hyland explained to GMA of her battle with the disease.\r\n&amp;quot;I try and make it so that Haley is always sitting down,&amp;quot; she said of her character Haley Dunphy on the show. &amp;quot;If you notice, she&amp;apos;s always sitting down a lot&amp;#x2026;or leaning and texting.&amp;quot; Hyland added, &amp;quot;When Haley walks up the stairs that&amp;apos;s like my work out for the week.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nBut she&amp;apos;s been coping with the pain since she was diagnosed with kidney dysplasia at the age of nine. &amp;quot;You know, if you&amp;apos;re sick, you still go to work,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;And in between takes, you sit down, or you lay your head down or something.&amp;quot;\r\nStill, Hyland&amp;apos;s pain was getting worse and fortunately her father, actor Edward James Hyland, was a perfect match for an organ donor. The actress underwent transplant surgery last month and is now recovering.\r\n&amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s weird,&amp;quot; she said of her father giving her his kidney, &amp;quot;because it&amp;apos;s like, &amp;apos;I have your kidney in me now.&amp;apos; &amp;quot;\r\n\r\nHyland told Seventeen magazine that her boyfriend, actor Matt Prokop, has been a big help with her recovery.\r\n&amp;quot;He helps me with my medication and takes me to doctor appointments and all the stuff that I need to do to take care of myself.&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;#xA0;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
