The Vampire Diaries actress Nina Dobrev has expressed her heartfelt gratitude to her loyal fans for their overwhelming support and positive vibes during her recovery from a recent surgery. Following a serious e-bike accident last month, Dobrev has been updating her followers on her progress, sharing insights into her journey back to health.
On Wednesday, the actress took to Instagram to reveal that her surgery had been a success. "Thank you to everyone who has been sending kind messages, thoughts, prayers, and good vibes," she wrote in her post. "I have been feeling the support and positive energy, and it means more than you will ever know."
Dobrev also candidly shared her pre-surgery jitters on her Instagram Story, admitting, "Anyone else get scared before surgery? I'm such a baby when it comes to needles, blood, or procedures of any kind." Her honesty about her fears resonated with many of her fans, who rallied around her with words of encouragement and comfort.
While Dobrev has kept details about the accident private, she initially shared the news of her hospitalization on May 20. She posted a photo of herself on the e-bike moments before the accident and another of her lying in a hospital bed, sporting a neck brace and a splint on her leg. "How it started vs how it's going," she captioned the post, humorously acknowledging the stark contrast between her pre-accident life and her current recovery.
Fellow celebrities, including Sarah Michelle Gellar and Zooey Deschanel, rushed to her comments section to offer their well-wishes. Gellar wrote, "Still managing to look gorge in a hospital bed," while Deschanel expressed her dismay, writing, "Noooo! Hope you have a speedy recovery!" Her boyfriend, Olympic medalist Shaun White, also chimed in with a light-hearted comment, saying, "Just keeping things on brand."
In the weeks following the accident, Dobrev has continued to share snapshots of her leg injury and the recovery process, keeping her fans updated on her progress. "Life looks a little different lately," she wrote in a recent post, adding, "Get ready for the leg content because that's all I've got in my camera roll these days." Her candid approach to sharing her recovery journey has only deepened the bond between her and her loyal followers, who continue to shower her with love and support during this challenging time.
