Storm Keating shares an update on her recovery post-surgery

Storm was rushed to hospital a couple of weeks ago due to an ongoing issue with her back which took a bad turn. The mother-of-two ended up having to have emergency spinal surgery and she shared it was “the most frightening week of my life.”

Thankfully she was able to make it home for her little girl Coco’s first birthday. Ronan previously  reflected on the stressful week in a lengthy Instagram post; “Well that was a week I never want to live again to have my Storm in hospital under the most extreme circumstances and not be able to see her and hold her hand and give her a hug and tell her everything was going to be ok was the toughest I have known, I felt so helpless, her strength is insane.”

Continuing he said; “The care she received and the expertise was incredible thank you to Dr Aftab and all the team you got her home today, she is on the mend and I am so grateful. What a day to come home thank God she made it.”

Speaking about the terrifying incident she shared; “I was rushed in with what we already knew was a very bad prolapsed disc, which had more recently escalated to the point where it needed surgical intervention.”

To prevent her condition from worsening she had to undergo further surgery; “Whilst stabilising in hospital however, this then escalated to Cauda Equina Compression/ Syndrome which required emergency spinal surgery to avoid permanent damage.”

“If it wasn’t for Dr Aftab and his acute diligence, care, attentiveness and skills, I would not be walking out of this hospital with the prospects of leading the normal life I had always envisioned I would.”

“There are no words that will ever come close to describing my gratitude to you Syed, thank you. And to Georgia and all the wonderful nurses and healthcare assistants who wiped my tears, comforted my fears, cleaned me up and allowed me to keep my dignity in moments where I thought I would lose it… you are amazing human beings to do what you do, thank you.”
