Reality T.V star, Boma Akpore has disclosed how he caught COVID-19, On December 2nd, 2020, which led to him having a terrible sinus infection.
He revealed this via his Instagram page narrating the whole story as he shares photos and videos of himself while he was undergoing treatment.
He stated: “I got extremely busy going from one film set to another in the US, then I came to Nigeria and stayed for another 6 months due to being on big brother Naija and other press duties I had to attend.”
Explaining further, I decided to return home to New York, all this while the sinus issue hasn’t given me any relief almost 1 year after. I decided to see an allergist and between January and March 2021, I had multiple doctor appointments, and tests, and the scan results came back very unpleasant. Half of my right face/nostril was blocked and I was only breathing from my left nostril. At this stage, I wake up with mucus from my right nostril every single day.
At this point, my only option was to have surgery as proposed by my Doctor. The surgery date was set for April 12. Suddenly I booked a movie role in Nigeria and the shooting starts on April 8, my team and I decided to postpone the surgery till after the shoot. While I was in Nigeria the reunion date was also set, so I killed both birds with 1 stone. As soon as the last episode was shot I took the next flight back to NYC on May 7, to prepare for my surgery on May 13. He said.
Finally, The doctor said the infection had already spread to the back of my head and I was told I could get blind or have brain damage it was a head surgery close to the brain and I got was extremely scared. The surgery started at 6.30 am and was due to be done at noon, but I couldn’t wake up for another 3 1/2 hours, mean, everyone was scared.
I just want everyone to thank God for my life. After 2 months I’m back in the gym, 6th slide was me working out yesterday July 20th, 2022, and ready to work again. God is good.
I want to urge everyone to always check in with their doctors when having unusual feelings or sickness. Health is wealth!
PS: The grey area on the scan photo is the blocked part of my Face/Nostril
Big thanks to my friends and loved ones that took care of me when I was sick, May almighty God meet you at your point it needs.
THAT’S MY TESTIMONY!!!
