“It just got too bad, and I couldn’t handle it,” said Venus Williams, while revealing what she went through in the last year. At 45, she made a stunning comeback to tennis just a week ago in Washington. But the story behind the comeback is gut-wrenching. The WTA pro, who managed to recover from a severe health condition, recently opted to shed light on her challenges before she could pick up the racket again. This includes a life-saving surgery, but scary nonetheless, and a painful road to recovery. But her indulgences post-surgery will shock you.
The former World No.1 took to Instagram to share a throwback post from a year ago, a reflection of her battle with fibroids. Her health condition was so severe that she had intense nausea, extreme pain, and heavy menstrual bleeding. She also shared an array of stories in which the 45-year-old reflected on her post-surgery emotions. And her first thought after regaining consciousness? “Gym…I wanna go the gym”, she mumbled. Describing that moment, she wrote, “Me trying to be back to training right after surgery I’m not even in my right mind!”
In another story, Williams recalled the moment after being “rolled out of recovery.” She mentioned that she was “in there a while bc I was in a lot of pain.” And then there was another story in which she explains her emotions before surgery, “I was still lucid”
