They were contemplating cutting off my legs in the hospital emergency room —Victony
“They were contemplating cutting off my legs in the hospital emergency room.”
Victony (Anthony Ebuka Victor) says as a child, his parents were away all the time, they left him on his own, and he was very lonely. That, he says, has completely reshaped his life.
He has had to rely on himself to take care of himself emotionally and mentally, but it has also helped him build the resilience to face life - including the infamous accident that landed him in a wheelchair.
In this conversation, he shares:
— The real possibility in the emergency room that his leg was going to be cut off and how he survived that ordeal.
— Why he had to answer those who said he was using his wheelchair for sympathy - and how he grew out of the deep frustration of that incident.
— Why he feels his heart cannot be broken because of how he has trained himself to be, based on the loneliness of his childhood.
Pensive, reflective and wise - Victony’s clarity will soothe your spirit.
