Actress Michelle Dede has expressed gratitude for being able to walk again after experiencing a near-leg amputation following an accident.
The 39-year-old narrated her ordeal in a recent post on her Instagram account in which she revealed that, amidst her excitement for an upcoming role in a Netflix series, she was suddenly rushed to the hospital in January, bleeding profusely.
Michelle explained that the journey through January was fraught with tears, pain, and denial as she faced with the physical and emotional toll of her health crisis.
Hospitalised and saddled the daunting task of learning to walk again, she navigated through the darkest moments with determination and with a thrice-weekly physiotherapy session she can walk again.
She wrote: “One day in January, I’m excited about what the new year holds and getting ready to be on an EbonyLife/ Netflix series, the next I’m being rushed to hospital bleeding profusely after an accident, then a week later being told they may have to amputate my leg. Like he did in the past 3 years, God said not today!
“After the tears, pain and being in denial for the first week my January was spent partly in the hospital, struggling through mental, emotional and physical pain, learning personal lessons and learning to walk again. Over the last 2 months and after thrice weekly physiotherapy sessions I can finally do so.
“Grateful to God and thankful to everyone who constantly checked up on me, came to visit me in hospital and at home, and especially thankful to and for @NajiteDede who took care of me like I was a child for almost a month.
“Lord I know on December 31 I posted that I was a warrior, but it’s time to take me off your strongest soldiers list abeg.
“I prophesy that this March onwards I am surrounded by protection, abundance, ease, flow, joy and everything soft in Jesus name, Amen!”
The Flower Girl actress concluded with tghe promise of giving out her clutches and orthopaedic boots to those in need of it.
PLEASE KEEP AN EYE OUT ON MY PAGE NEXT WEEK AS I WILL BE DOING A GIVEAWAY OF MY CRUTCHES AND ORTHOPEODIC BOOT, TO ANY ORGANISATION IN NIGERIA THAT NEEDS THESE FOR YOUNG ADULTS,” she wrote.
