Actress Abimbola Craig recalls newa-death experience after a brain surgery [video]

Popular Nigerian actress, Abimbola Craig has shared her back story of how she went on with a brain surgery about 10 years ago.

In a video shared on her YouTube channel, the movie producer, Abimbola Craig disclosed how she had battled nausea, insomnia, and weight loss after the surgery.

According to her, the doctors carried out a lot of spinal taps (lumbar punctures) but could not identify the cause, adding that they even began to suspect meningitis.

The actress, however, said she is now healthy but thought she was going to die while battling the complications.

“Four days after the surgery I started feeling weird but I could not explain what it was that was wrong with me. I could not eat. I could not sleep and I also started losing my appetite and started losing weight,”
 she said.

“I remember my last ER visit. I was still throwing up so much that Mum tried to reach my doctor but could not. At this time I was doing a lumbar puncture, I had four that day. Lumbar punctures are like spinal taps. So they tell you to bend and take fluids from the spine and the reason why they did this is because they still did not know what was wrong with me so they thought I had meningitis.

“10 years after my surgery, I am alive. I am healthy and doing things I never thought I’d be able to do again. I thought I was going to die, not even from the brain surgery. It was during the period of the lumbar puncture, not sure if I had meningitis and all. I literally thought I was going to die.”
