An Abuja-based public speaker and author, Mabel Onwuemele, tells GODFREY GEORGE her survival story after she became paralysed for a year following childbirth complicationsMy name is Mrs Mabel Onwuemele. I am a sex therapist, public speaker and an author. I have written three books:, which is my bestseller, released during the pandemic.
I lost the use of my legs and became bedridden. It was such an unpleasant experience. But my husband and family stood by me and I think the love they showed me helped in my healing and survival. It was one year after that I began to walk again. But I couldn’t walk properly; I had to learn how to walk again, like a child. But in 2019, I suffered a relapse.I can’t tell. The doctors didn’t really give any explanation. Eventually, through physiotherapy, I regained my strength and I am finally okay.
It was a time of sober reflection. My husband and children were around me all the time. I didn’t have a maid at the time. I told my husband to take me out of the hospital because the bills were mounting. I resorted to fasting and praying even in my condition. My tummy was heavy; my legs were so heavy, they felt like bags of cement were placed on them. But I just knew I would walk again. I had a revelation in which a man gave me a wheelchair as a gift.
