Media personality and actor, Denrele Edun has opened up on his battle with stroke.
In an interview with Channels Television, the entertainer revealed that he was very sick at the time because he had a stroke. According to him, the stroke was on half of his face but it still didn’t stop him from working.
He disclosed that his face was dropping on the right side and anytime he drinks water, it would pour out of his mouth. Edun said he had trouble breathing, and seeing clearly, his front hair fell out and his right leg was paralyzed.
He recounted how his friend had invited him to a movie shoot, while he was battling with the disease, yet he had to show up because he hates making excuses and being pitied.
”I was very sick at a time, so I had just come out of having a stroke on half of my face, it’s never happened before but it still didn’t stop me or it didn’t deter me from working, my face dropping on the right side anytime I have to drink water it would pour out of my mouth one eye was wide opened I couldn’t hear and breathe”.
