Malayalam movie star Prithviraj Sukumaran is finally on a path to recovery and has returned to work three months after an accident on the sets of 'Vilayath Buddha.' The actor took to social media recently to express his heartfelt appreciation to the medical practitioners who played a crucial role in his journey towards recovery.
He wrote, "It's been 3 months since I jumped off a moving bus for an action sequence in Vilayath Buddha and injured my knew. Went in for a fairly complex knee surgery following that and ever since, life has mostly been about recovery. So I guess now is as good a time as any to say THANK YOU."
Pointing out that the first person he wants to express gratitude to is Dr Jacob Varghese of VPS Lakeshore, Kerala, the actor noted, "The fantastically skilled surgeon along with his wonderful team of doctors and nurses performed multiple procedures in the same surgery on my knee. Without his constant guidance and care, this recovery process would have been impossible."
Thanking Dr. Suhas, the chief physiotherapist at Physio One, Prithviraj mentioned, "Anyone who has successfully recovered from an orthopedic surgery will tell you that the physiotherapy following the procedure is as important as the surgery itself. Dr. Suhaas is the expert who designed my entire rehabilitation protocol until now and will continue doing so in the future."
"The third person is Rakesh, the physiotherapist who was in charge of executing the plan and supervising my physiotherapy sessions every single day..sometimes as many as 4 times a day. During the initial weeks of my recovery, the physiotherapy and other rehab procedures cumulatively went on for 9 hours a day… every day!" he added.
Mentioning that complete recovery was still a while away and that he had to stick to physiotherapy and a rehabilitation plan for some more time, Prithviraj noted, "But to get to where I am in 3 months took a lot of skill and dedication from this team. So THANK YOU for the commitment and truly inspiring passion towards your professions!"
The actor also did not forget to express gratitude to his millions of fans and added, "THANK YOU to each one of you who reached out in various ways with your wishes and prayers.
