Storm Keating has opened up about her traumatic emergency surgery, saying that husband Ronan has been ‘unbelievable’ throughout it.
The Australian native was rushed to hospital in March of this year, where she had to undergo emergency surgery on her spine.
Now, coming out on the other side, Storm is opening up about her experience, admitting that it has been life-changing.
“It’s been a long and trialling week, the most frightening week of my life,” she said at the time.

Speaking with OK! Magazine, the 39-year-old explained exactly what happened to her, sharing nothing but praise for her husband Ronan.
“It started off as a severely prolapsed disc, that kept getting worse. I was warned that surgical intervention was needed,” she began.
“But I wanted to explore all the natural options. I had a steroid injection which I thought was working, but it was just masking the injury while it kept escalating. I was rushed to the hospital because I couldn’t move. I was in so much pain, I couldn’t breathe properly.”
With two young children waiting for her at home, Storm said it was up to Ronan to keep the family going while she was unwell, a challenge she admits, he was more than willing to take on.

“Ronan is possibly one of the most hands-on dads I’ve ever known in my life. He does everything. Especially at the minute – I had a serious back injury and condition”
“He’s taken on everything from the cooking and the cleaning, the nap times, bed and bath times – he’s unbelievable.”
Adding, Storm says that while she’s on the mend, her injury is likely something that she will struggle with for the rest of her life.
“I’m still not 100% better and I’m going through rehabilitation. The programme I’m doing might be something I have to do for the rest of my life”
“Your whole life can change just like that”
