Real Housewives of Lagos star Toyin “Tiannah” Lawani-Adebayo is grateful for life after spending months in the hospital. The Nigerian fashion designer spoke about her battles this year; from losing a child, and battling with fibroids, to undergoing spine surgery. She had to be taken to the ICU three times; she spent two months in the hospital and did the rest in a rehabilitation center.
“I ended up in ICU three times and made it out three times,” she says. I had to write to communicate with doctors and nurses. My small baby kept looking at me like I said something. I then knew how it felt to lose one’s voice. The ability to speak, walk, and sit is so underrated.” She also appreciated people who stood by her during the trying period.
“This period in my life made me realise who were my friends and who weren’t. The last people I expected to rush to my aid did so without even asking,” she says. I am thankful to everyone who supported me while being stuck in that hospital. You think you have money? Wait until you are in hospital.”
“I just pray to God to show mercy to anyone going through the same out there. I’m thinking about the people who don’t have funds to help themselves what will they do? Being there, I saw at least three rich people die in front of me and I was just grateful for my life.
