Actress Jennifer Barlow was enjoying her vacation in the Bahamas Islands, when suddenly a simple cut with a razor while shaving caused a rare flesh-eating bacterium to come into contact with her skin in the sea, causing a serious infection.
This was explained by the interpreter on her social networks months ago. Barlow shared a picture of her on her Instagram profile, where she explained everything that had happened to her five months ago. In this publication we can see a snapshot of her on the beach in the Bahamas and another intubated in the hospital. ''I want to share my story about my near-death experiences along the way. What it's been like to relearn how to be human and the loneliness that comes with living in a hospital for five months,'' she wrote.
After five months of absolute silence, the actress has reappeared in various local media, where she wanted to talk about the terrible moment she lived through. According to the interpreter's account, the carnivorous bacteria began to act very quickly on her leg. Barlow reported that her knee began to swell and was also very hot. A situation she could barely walk with.
Days later, her little brother found her unconscious on the kitchen floor and decided to take her to the hospital. After analyzing her situation, the doctors found the bacteria that was causing this health problem and decided that the best thing for her was to amputate her leg.
Jennifer Barlow affirmed that since that moment she has been "in mourning," but she assured that she agreed with the decision made by the toilets. ''My disability has now made me stronger as a person,'' the actress declared. In addition, the American has started a crowdfunding campaign to be able to pay the cost of a prosthesis.
The actress also wanted to reveal that she had to be operated on a total of 33 times to be able to remove all the damaged tissue. ''When I woke up I had what looked like a zombie leg. It seemed as if a dog had taken possession of her. I had nothing left '' she assured. An intervention that undoubtedly saved her life.
