🚨 4 Years Post Blood Clot – My Story 🚨
Four years ago, my life changed overnight. I was hospitalized with a severe blood clot from my knee to my groin—just 10 days after my first AstraZeneca vaccine. At the time, I was prepping for a fitness model competition, training hard, and feeling strong. But suddenly, everything stopped.
I was put on blood thinners for life. Training—my escape, my passion—was taken from me. I was a single mum with no help at home, going through a breakup, stuck in lockdown. My mental health suffered. My biggest fear? Leaving my children behind.
At first, I thought I’d just pulled a muscle. My leg was sore, swollen—2cm bigger than my left—but no redness, no heat. By the time the doctor came back with my diagnosis, my life had already flashed before my eyes.
But the comeback is always stronger than the setback.
I took my time. I listened to my body. And in November 2021, I stepped back on stage and placed 2nd in the PRO category.
4 years on, I’m still on blood thinners. I still get pain in my leg, and my strength has never fully returned. But I am HERE. And I am still showing up!
If you’re struggling, if life has knocked you down—please know this: you CAN come back stronger. I did, and so can you. 💪🏼
