Renowned fashion designer Toyin Lawani recently disclosed that she had started rehabilitation following six surgeries she had a few months ago.
She posted a video to her Instagram page in which she was treated for her trouble speaking and breathing correctly.
Toyin Lawani described how she had to undergo six surgeries because of a tumour in her voice cord. She added that she couldn't speak for several months as a result.
She wrote: “Yesterday was a huge step to recovery for me,
The last image was before my last surgery a few months ago, have had 6 surgeries in total now and am currently in therapy,
That was the lump I had growing in between my vocal cords after my tracheotomy tube was removed from my throat, the tracheotomy left my vocal cord ruined, as it was emergency surgery to save me cause I stopped breathing, and I couldn’t speak for months.
"A big thank you to my Amazing team of doctors who have been working on me tirelessly for months to get me back on my feet and thanks to wonderful and my amazing family for being by my sides all through,
all through this ordeal,
Told you all I was going to take two years off cause my doctors told me it would actually take two years to get me back to speaking and breathing properly again,
Cause most times I stop breathing in my sleep
And my meds keep making me blow up
I still wake up paralysed at times,
Still, have a bad leg and still have pains from the implants in my neck,
But in all I thank God
But it’s a year today and it can only be the glory of the lord that I can hear myself speak and make sounds, and not struggle so much while I speak, while the chest pain is less,
It’s not perfect but I’m grateful,
My Thanksgiving and big come back is coming,
Help me thank God for this new phase,
I’m on bended knees in his glory
Thank God we don’t look like what we are going through
Starting my speech therapy next week wish me luck,
And a big thank you to my Amazing clients,
Fans, God bless you all
"KingofallQueensaka King of fashion is coming back soonest."
