Nollywood actress, Lydia Lawrence has taken to social media to share a testimony of how she overcame a serious health issue that nearly killed her.
In a lengthy Instagram post, the actress explained that she had intended to keep her life’s bittersweet experience to herself but had pondered how the devil would feel if he discovered that she was celebrating his failure.
Lydia Lawrence described how her illness progressed to the point that she required four pints of blood, resulting in a poor response from her body and the need for oxygen to breathe.
She stated that because it was the worst moment of her life, she didn’t believe she’d survive.
She endured a second operation in September, fought for her life, but won.
She wrote,
“Wanted to keep this moment of my life to myself but then I asked: how will the devil see me rejoice at the fact that he failed?
I need to share my testimony. Never in my life have I been so sick, that I needed, not 1 or 2, but 4 pints of blood to keep up. While taking the 4th pint, my body reacted so badly to it that I urgently needed oxygen to breathe. Scariest moment of my life cos I thought I wouldn’t make it. To cut the story short, the devil came again but God showed up for me like He has always done.
Last year September I was fighting for my life while battling 3 ear surgeries. This year again, it went from flexing to another surgery and another fight for life.
Funny enough, so many people kept calling me while I was hospitalized, saying I came to their minds and if I was okay.
Guys, it’s always important to check up on your loved ones. Thanks a lot to everyone who checked in on me. I’m fine, recovering, and doing a lot better.
Thanksgiving loading….. because what my eyes saw ehn, na just GOD.
The last slide has to be my biggest reason and greatest strength to pull through”
