Former 'Mulawin' star Bianca King after her surgery: “I felt so weak and skinny.”
Actress Bianca King poured her heart out on Instagram as she discussed her long road to recovery after her surgery in 2021 to fix her dislocated shoulder.
In a lengthy post, the former Mulawin actress revealed that she was misdiagnosed in the Philippines, but the good thing is, her doctors in Sydney Australia were able to find out the real problem with her shoulder.
She recalled, “This is me starting from zero and gaining back my strength [and] flexibility. In July 2021, I had shoulder surgery called biceps tenodesis to fix a dislocated shoulder that was causing daily pain.”
“I was misdiagnosed in the Philippines with a rotator cuff tear. Luckily, I did another MRI in Sydney and the diagnosis was joint instability and a split in my biceps anchor with calcific tendonitis. Inflammation and pain caused by the loose shoulder.”
Bianca continued, “I had the best doctors in Sydney who once worked with the Australian rugby team. They fixed my shoulder! My right arm had muscle atrophy and had no strength to even lift a pot. After [six] months of physiotherapy to mobilize the stiff shoulder, I was ready to start building muscle again.”
The mestiza beauty also remembered her difficult journey recovering from the medical procedure and admitted that she felt depressed, too.
“I was in so much pain after surgery and slept on a stack of [five] pillows for [three] months. I felt so weak and skinny.” she said.
“I was depressed being isolated at home during the peak of the pandemic, not being able to bathe myself properly or cook my own food, mostly laying in bed feeling down and crying to my friends on the phone. I had to stop yoga for over a year.”
Despite the challenges, Bianca realized that she's grateful for going through that process and it strengthened her bond with her husband Ralph Wintle--the couple tied the knot in June 2021 in Sydney, Australia.
Ralph is the brother of Iza Calzado's husband Ben.
“Now I feel ALMOST back to normal but extremely grateful for having gone through that horrifying experience of joint surgery.
“And the best part of it all was my bond with my husband became stronger as he stepped up to take care of me when I couldn't take care of myself.”
Some celebrities reacted to Bianca's inspiring recovery including Kapuso actress Beauty Gonzalez.
