Xenia Goodwin Instagram – Hi Everyone,
It’s been a while since I’ve been active and I wanted to give an explanation, for my own catharsis and to help me feel less guilty. Before anything, a shout out to my Mum, my family, my friends and DA fam – I’m blessed to have you all.
In July of 2019 I was in a serious and fatal car accident in Zakynthos, Greece. My whole life changed.
I spent many months in hospital (3 hospitals in Greece, 1 in Australia), months in a wheelchair and had many surgeries after that. I shouldn’t be standing, let alone walking, and I am so grateful that I am.
I look at the messages that fans, friends and family sent & send me and feel guilty for my non-response. I didn’t want anyone to know what was happening. But, I was carried and strengthened through the period because of all that love, and so I suppose what I really want to say is… thank you.
As far as injuries go, this has been pretty bad. I am supposed to be a quadriplegic, and I thank my lucky angels every day that I am not. I won’t give a medical breakdown here but let’s just say, I broke all vertebrae bar 4, had major surgery awake with no painkillers, and died on my way to this new life.
I miss ballet, I miss acting, I miss who I used to be. But, I am proud of who I am now.
I’ve never been one to post on social media about personal matters – this is really scary! But I want to tell the story now. I’m ready for it.
To the stunning Greek community and my Zakynthos friends, I think of you every day.
To the Doctors, my heroes, the team that never gave up on me… I am forever thankful to you.
I Love you all, thank you for loving me from afar, I wouldn’t be here without you.
Xen X
