OlderAlli Simpson Shares Full Story of Neck Injury, Reveals It Happened In October
Alli Simpson is giving more details on what happened when she injured her neck.
The 23-year-old shared an update on how she is doing and she even revealed that the initial injury actually happened in October, three months before she was hospitalized.
Get more details inside…
“today marks 1 month in the neck brace 🤍 can’t say the road has been easy.. I think I’ve cried enough tears to fill up the pool I dove into!! 🥺😅 not only sad tears but happy ones too – as I constantly remind myself how blessed I am that it wasn’t worse x,” Alli shared.
“for those of you that don’t know the full story.. the pool dive itself happened back in October – therefore I was living my day to day life with a broken neck for 3 months having absolutely no idea 🤷🏼♀️😵💫 unaware I was a walking time bomb?!”
“I pushed through bad neck pain day & night during workouts, work, parties, Physio appts & more thinking I’d only just badly jarred it as it all slowly started to subside - don’t risk waiting like me – get the scans!! 🤭” she continued.
“for some reason on New Years Eve, I had a feeling something was wrong.. my GP sent me straight for an X-Ray, from there the radiographer sent me straight for an emergency MRI 🥶😨 once the results were in & I was back at my apartment – my doctor called & told me to not move a muscle, to call an ambulance right away to travel to the hospital completely immobilized!! as any sudden movement over those 3 months could’ve paralyzed me or even worse.. my luck simply astounds me 🍀🤯”
“so like I’ve said before.. I’ve had some serious guardian angels on my side from the moment my head hit the bottom of my friends Burleigh pool and every bloody second since 🙌🏼🤎,” she shared. “and as goes for the latest update – I met with an amazing neurosurgeon, got her input & am getting progress scans in two weeks to get a bit of an idea into to how much longer I’ve got to go in the brace.. 🤞🏼”
“thank you to everyone that has supported & helped me on this journey over the past month & since the beginning,” Alli said, before adding thanks. “to my friends & my family – I don’t have words to thank you 🤍 you know who you are. to my absolute hero of a doctor – @bpenwan! to my kind & caring legend of a physiotherapist – @scottfawcett! to neurosurgeon – Dr. Ellison Stephensen thank you 😊🙏🏼 only up from here AS ❤️🩹👼🏼 xo”
We are sending all the well wishes to Alli!
