Quick recovery: Kamene Goro undergoes knee surgery
Popular media personality Kamene Goro is now in the recovery phase at the Karen Hospital in Nairobi after successfully undergoing knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus.
The vibrant presenter shared insights into her pre-surgery jitters with fans via Instagram Stories just before the procedure.
Kamene candidly explained the nature of the surgery which is aimed at either removing or repairing the cartilage in the knee.
The procedure involves a few small incisions and typically lasts about an hour. The recovery period spans a few weeks, during which patients experience a reduction in pain, improved mobility, and enhanced stability, allowing them to resume their normal activities.
Expressing a mix of nerves and optimism, Kamene admitted feeling some anxiety about the anesthesia but remained confident about a swift recovery. “I usually find the recovery harder than the surgery itself,” she humorously shared.
Following the surgery, Kamene provided another update, this time accompanied by her husband, DJ Bonez, who stood by her side.
“I usually find the recovery harder than the surgery itself,” she shared with a laugh.
Despite the postoperative discomfort, she thanked her followers for their well wishes and assured them that she would keep them informed about her progress.
Hours after the surgery on January 25, Kamene took to her Insta stories to share her immediate postoperative experience, saying, “After the epidural wore off, aki the pain I’m in. I don’t know how I’ll sleep tonight. Jesus take the wheel.”
The advantages of knee meniscus surgery will help in improving mobility, enhancing knee stability, and preventing or slowing the development of arthritis. Kamene’s recovery will see her return to normal activities within six to eight weeks, albeit with recommendations for low-impact activities during the recovery period.
