While training sa mga parkour routines niya for "Gagambino," he was involved in an accident that injured his knee na kailangan na ngayong operahan.
Alam natin na Dennis Trillo does his own stunts in his TV projects. Unfortunately, last year, while training sa mga parkour routines niya for “Gagambino,” he was involved in an accident that injured his knee. Last Thursday night, while rehearsing for SOP’s Bro Band, nagbigay siya sa iGMA.tv ng update tungkol dito. Interview by Connie M. Tungul. Text by Erick Mataverde. Photos by Mitch S. Mauricio. "Nung nagtre-train pa lang ako sa Gagambino, dun sa training namin sa parkour, na-injure ako," and what was thought to be a sprain, turned out into something serious.
"'Yung tuhod ko bumigay siya, naputulan ng ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament), kaya sa April 1, para hindi siya masyadong lumala or hindi na mag-cause ng kahit anong damage doon sa loob [ng knee ko] papa-opera ko na habang bakasyon." He added that during the first few weeks after his accident, he had trouble walking. “Pero nag-therapy ako so kahit papaano may mga muscles na sususuporta sa kanya kahit nawala na 'yung ligament. Ngayon nagagawa ko pa rin 'yung iba kong activities, pero hindi na ganun ka-extreme.” Because of this injury, medyo na-restrict nga ang physical activites ng actor who is an avid biker and athlete. "Nakakapag-bike [pa] rin ako [pero] hindi na masyadong aggressive -- hindi na 'yung downhill, puro patag na lang. Tapos, kaya ko pa rin sumipa. Minsan kasi nagki-kickboxing kami, may mga sipa na hindi ko magawa, pero meron namang kaya. "[Sa] stance, kailangan lang mag-stretching tapos huwag lang bibiglain ang mga muscles, lalo na i-check 'yung mga height ng mga tatalunin and kailangan may kneepads na ako and knee braces," Dennis explained further. Quick recovery The operation is indeed required for Dennis to be up and about again. He has tapped the services of an expert who can assure him of a safe procedure. "Halos lahat ng na-injure na kakilala ko siya 'yung doktor, kaya alam namin na talagang magaling siya kasi kilalang-kilala siya talaga. Actually, naka-dalawang visit na ako sa kanya. Nung una alam niya na kaagad na ganun, tapos nung pangalawa ipinakita na namin 'yung MRI results, 'yun na nga nagbigay na siya ng [recommendation] na kailangan nang operahan." But, Dennis’s friends and fans should not worry. Dennis explains that he expects to recover quickly “kasi medyo common 'yung injury na 'yun lalo na [sa] mga athletes so marami nang nagpapa-opera ng ganun, and safe naman. Kung ooperahan ka sa umaga, mga hapon nasa bahay ka na. Mga one hour lang 'yung procedure, 'yung preparasyon lang ang matagal." At kailan kaya siya completely na makaka-recover after his April 1 operation? "According doon sa mga nakausap ko na na-injure na rin ng ganitong klase, depende. May iba [na] one week nakakapaglakad na, pero medyo ika-ika pa, pero 'yung mga iba mga three months, nakakatakbo na. Tapos mayroon daw iba, mga three days nakakalakad na. Depende siguro sa lakas ng leg mo kung kaya niyang ma-sustain 'yung muscle memory niya, kasi panibagong muscle ‘yan so parang nakalimutan niyang mag-function." Para sa lahat ng nag-aalala kung permanenteng naka-apekto itong injury kay Dennis, her offers this assurance: "Pag na-operahan [ang knee] magiging mas matibay pa siya kesa dun sa luma mo, as long as continuous 'yung therapy mo."
