Nigerian fashion designer, Toyin Lawani has narrated her experience living with a tracheostomy tube.
According to her, living with tracheostomy tube has brought her closer to God.
A tracheostomy tube is a medical device inserted into the windpipe (trachea) through a surgical opening in the neck to facilitate breathing.
She made the revelation on her Instagram page.
“Living on a tracheostomy tube was not a joke, Which brought me closer to God & I learnt valuable lessons about resilience, hope, strength & power of true friendships,” she wrote.
“But through it all, one thing remains clear, taking time to focus on my health & well-being, I am reminded of the importance of self-care, self-love, & the need to prioritise what truly matters in life.
“Your support means the world to me & I am eternally grateful for each & every one of you.
“Losing my voice was a huge setback for me. Not breathing well daily, opened my eyes to a lot we also take for granted in life.’’
