Actress Michelle Dede has expressed thanks for being able to walk again after a near-leg amputation due to an accident.

The 39-year-old described her story in a recent Instagram post, revealing that she was brought to the hospital in January, bleeding profusely, while excited about an upcoming role in a Netflix series.

Michelle Dede claimed that the month of January was filled with tears, pain, and denial as she dealt with the physical and emotional consequences of her health issue.

“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 the promise of giving out her clutches and orthopedic boots to those in need of it. Michelle Dede added:

“PLEASE KEEP AN EYE OUT ON MY PAGE NEXT WEEK AS I WILL BE DOING A GIVEAWAY OF MY CRUTCHES AND ORTHOPEDIC BOOT, TO ANY ORGANISATION IN NIGERIA THAT NEEDS THESE FOR YOUNG ADULTS,” she wrote.
