Bindi Irwin was suffering from “intense pain” just hours before an ambulance rushed her to hospital to save her life, she has revealed.
Last month, Irwin unexpectedly suffered a ruptured appendix, forcing her to have it removed.
The mother-of-one underwent emergency surgery shortly after she arrived in Las Vegas with her mother, Terri and brother, Rob for a gala honouring her late father, Steve.
Adil Cader, the founder of Talking Foreign Affairs, who was interviewing Irwin prior to her stepping onto her flight, has revealed that while they chatted she was suffering from “intense pain”.
“Just hours before flying out for emergency surgery and missing a gala honouring her father’s legacy, Bindi showed up for an awareness raising interview with us,” he wrote in a LinkedIn post this week. “She was in intense pain.”
Despite her visible struggle, Irwin refused to allow her pain to interfere from carrying out her job, added Cader.
“Yet not once did she ask to wrap early. Not once did her words feel anything but thoughtful and present. Not once did she let on that she was suffering. She had every reason to cancel. Most would have. She did it because she wanted to offer hope to others going through silent struggles.”
“That’s what real character looks like. That’s what true leadership is. This is what true grit is like,” he said. “Battling through the biggest pain, yet smiling, just to give others hope. Thank you Bindi.”
Last week, Bindi took to Instagram to tell her followers that she was on the mend following emergency surgery at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York after suffering from a ruptured appendix.
During the operation, doctors also found 14 new endometriosis lesions that had to be removed, and they also repaired a large hernia Bindi had acquired when she gave birth to her daughter Grace four years ago.
“Healing. Thank you for your incredible words of support and kindness,” she wrote on Instagram alongside some photos of her on the mend.
“The reason I share my health journey is because more girls and women desperately need answers to their undiagnosed pain. I’ve battled with endometriosis for more than 12 years. “This disease is crippling and can make you feel incredibly isolated,” she added of her condition in which the cells that line the uterus also grow in other parts of the body, which can cause painful scar tissue.
“We need to raise awareness and change the narrative for women’s health. I see you, your pain is real, and you deserve answers and genuine health care.”
