Eugenio Derbez reappeared on social networks more than a month after the accident he suffered while playing with his son, Vadhir, on a virtual stage. Such was the severity of the injury -he suffered 15 fractures in the shoulder-, that he had to be transferred that same night to three different hospitals, where they could not treat him due to the delicate situation, it was until he arrived at a hospital in Los Angeles in the who underwent surgery after a series of studies.
Several weeks after his last appearance on Instagram, the actor shared a photo in his stories after leaving therapy, which he has received since he came out of surgeryas he warned that there is a possibility that he will not fully recover the mobility of his right shoulder.
In the image Eugenio Derbez is seen in sportswear, sitting in the seat of his car. Visibly recovered, the actor smiles slightly as he looks out the window. “Getting out of physical therapy,” she wrote in her post, “This is what recovery looks like.”
Both the actor and Alessandra Rosaldo, his wife, have highlighted that the recovery process has been slow, but certain improvements are already beginning to be seen. And it is that taking into account the seriousness of the injury, Eugenio Derbez could spend several months in rehabilitation, a situation that had been foreseen since he recounted the ravages that the accident left him.
“Because of the pain I’ve had they’ve had me sedated, in the first two and a half weeks I was practically asleep almost day and night. I woke up to eat and they had to put me back on the medicine to sleep because the pain was very strong”he said in a video published in mid-September in which he explained how the events happened.
One day before the catastrophe, Eugenio Derbez spent a day of adventures with his son Vadhir, along with whom he rode a jet ski through a river of crocodiles; however, during that trip he did not suffer any mishap.
“Interestingly, the month before the accident I was doing very risky things, I love adrenaline… One day before the accident I was with my son (Vadhir) in a river full of crocodiles, taking videos of crocodiles, on a jet ski and nothing happened to me.
But that same night in a town in Georgia, his son convinced him to play in a virtual reality setting. It was then that the unthinkable happened.
“The moment I tripped, the virtual reality made me believe that I was falling from the building. I don’t know what I moved and tripped; I fell with all my weight on my elbow and it pushes on the bone, the humerus, and the bone comes out. That’s when I found out I had a very serious fracture.”
