Kimberly Michelle Pate, known by her stage name K. Michelle, is currently in recovery after having undergone two blood transfusions as well as four emergency room visits.
The surgeries were caused by various complications due to the removal of her butt injections. "According to K. Michelle, everything was going fine after the surgery until a short time later she suffered a serious infection and discovered some of the remaining silicone spread," reports www.lovebscott.com
K. Michelle used Instagram to discuss her journey to recovery,
Jan 12 I started a journey to correct a mistake I did over 6 years ago. The first surgery went well so we thought until my body started to shut down while I was on tour. For 26 cities I was on steroids to walk and keep down infection causing me to get off stage and be rushed to ER over 4 times and then the next day back on stage. I later found out the silicone had spread and I would be rushed back into surgery. Last Wednesday I entered surgery barely functioning with my legs and an infection. The surgery to remove all of this from me lasted a long 6 hours. The following days were spent with paramedics until i they realized my blood count was severely low and I was rushed into ER where I was admitted. 2 blood transfusions later I've been released and started therapy today heal and walk. I have the most skilled and amazing reconstructive surgeon in Beverly Hills and I'm blessed to be here. It hurts my heart to know there are girls out here who can't afford to have the best and are just sitting around in pain and infection. I thought I was strong but this changed my life. I saw my life flash right in front of me."
K. Michelle's testimonial should be a warning and an important lesson to people out there considering getting such treatments.
