Actress KC Concepcion said that she survived paralysis after COVID-19 began to impact her brain and complicate her motor abilities. Concepcion thanked her doctor in an Instagram Stories post over the weekend for rescuing her from “possible paralysis” caused by the dangerous infection. Her followers posted her old posts on the internet.
“I have my dearest doctor, the brilliant Dr. Albert Recio @harvardhopkinsmd to thank, for acting urgently, and arresting a possible paralysis the other day due to a neurological effect COVID had on me,” she stated.
The actress stated that she noticed the virus was affecting her brain because of changes in her motor abilities.
“What I thought was a mild bout turned into something much more serious overnight. I felt a change in my motor skills and also knew it was hitting my brain… it’s like nothing I’d ever experienced before,” she stated.
Concepcion stated that she will be eternally grateful to her doctor for keeping her alive.
“Doc urgently prescribed me the exact meds I needed at exactly the right time – and by anticipating the progress of COVID in my body, he put me on the road to recovery. It’s my 6th day today since first onset of symptoms and I am still weak but regaining strength slowly but surely! I am forever indebted to you doc for saving my life,” she added.
Concepcion took Toni Gonzaga’s position in the film “Asian Persuasion,” which will be directed by Tony Award-winning producer Jhett Tolentino.
Gonzaga is said to have quit the film due to schedule issues.
Concepcion will portray the lead actress in the film, partnering Filipino-American actor Dante Basco.
Apl.de.Ap from the Black Eyed Peas, Yam Concepcion, Rachel Alejandro, Rex Navarrete, and Tony Labrusca are among those cast members of “Asian Persuasion.”
In another post, Concepcion shared an unedited image of herself while updating her health and expressing gratitude for life.
She also expressed her desire to heal quickly so that she could continue filming her new film, “Asian Persuasion.”
“This is me. Unfiltered. I appreciate LIFE even more now… You don’t know how scared I was on Wednesday morning. I couldn’t handle it without the meds… It’s 5 am and I am up to drink my morning dose, and will go back to sleep so I can get better… and get this movie finished!!! I have 3 more shooting days to go for Asian Persuasion and I need a negative swab test and 10 more days before I am allowed my SAG to work again,” Concepcion stated.
“Stay SAFE everyone. This is not like the flu. It’s a whole different animal. I evaded it for 3 years!!! But just like that it got me. From an asymptomatic person who unknowingly passed it on. Try your best to live your healthiest lives. And let’s ENJOY WHAT LIFE HAS TO OFFER.MAHAL KO KAYO!” she remarked.
