One TNA star is happy with her decision to undergo neck surgery.
Back in September, Steph De Lander was set to team with Matt Cardona to take on the team of Rhino and PCO at TNA Victory Road. However, moments before the match, De Lander announced that she needed neck surgery. An update indicated that Steph De Lander would likely be out of action for 6-10 months.
De Lander successfully underwent C5 and C6 fusion surgery on October 17th, and speaking in a new interview with The Commentary Booth – Live Via Satellite, the star gave an update on her recovery weeks later.
“Good, feels good. Just a little cut [on my neck], I’ve got some bandages on it. I feel great. It’s been just about two weeks since since surgery now, and obviously I’ve got a long ways to go as far as recovery is concerned, but for two weeks post neck surgery, I’m feeling pretty good.”
“I’m Happy I Did It” – TNA’s Steph De Lander
Continuing, De Lander said that while neck surgery sounds scary, she chose to repair her issues preventatively before things got much worse and she’s happy with her decision.
“When you hear neck surgery, you think worse case scenario. Obviously, neck injuries can be very, very dangerous. But luckily mine is kind of a preventative, like ‘Look, you’ve got this [nagging] neck issue. Let’s get it taken care of while we can, while you can recover, come back from it, be 100%,’ rather than waiting until it gets worse. So I’m feeling good, I’m happy I did it, on the road to recovery.”
