Joyce Skefu on Friday recounted the day she suffered a stroke in March 2022, giving a health update to her followers.
The long-time Scandal! actress detailed her experience in a series of Instagram posts.
She woke at 4am needing to go to the toilet and found she “couldn't walk” as she couldn't get herself out of bed.
She recalled throwing herself on to the floor and watching half her body “die slowly”.
“It was traumatising. I crawled on one side to go to the toilet, it was scary.”
Joyce, who has been sharing her recovery journey with fans, said she was grateful to God for her deliverance.
“He fought for me. He kept lifting the standard against stroke. Stroke is cruel, is mean. I came a long way. First and foremost, there was no sign at all.”
In another post, Joyce shared a video from her session with a physiotherapist
