Nina Dobrev Says ‘Surgery Was a Success’ Following E-Bike Accident
Nina Dobrev is updating fans on her recovery post-surgery following a serious e-bike accident last month.
The Vampire Diaries alum took to Instagram on Wednesday to share that “surgery was a success.”
“Thank you to everyone who has been sending kind messages, thoughts, prayers, and good vibes,” she continued in her post. “I have been feeling the support and positive energy. It means more than you will ever know.”
Dobrev also recalled her thoughts heading into the operation on her Instagram Story: “Anyone else get scared before surgery? I’m such a baby when it comes to needles, blood or procedures of any kind.”
While Dobrev hasn’t revealed many details surrounding the accident, she first shared on May 20 that she had been hospitalized due to an incident on an e-bike. At the time, she posted a photo of her on the bike and then of her lying in a hospital bed with a neck brace and splint on her leg. “How it started vs how it’s going,” she captioned the post.
Several fellow celebrities took to her comments to send well-wishes, including Sarah Michelle Gellar who wrote, “Still managing to look gorge in a hospital bed,” while Zooey Deschanel added, “Noooo Hope you have a speedy recovery!” Her boyfriend, Olympian Shaun White, also wrote, “Just keeping things on brand.”
In the weeks that followed, The Out-Laws actress shared additional photos of her leg injury and the recovery process. “Life looks a lil different lately,” she wrote in a post on Sunday. “Get ready for the leg content because that’s all I’ve got in my camera roll these days.”
