Ilona Verley provided an update on their recovery from a life-threatening car accident in June. The injuries suffered included multiple lacerations, a broken nose, a dislocated jaw, a concussion, and a fractured spine. Verley reported that healing has been difficult, stating they are learning to navigate life with their injuries. They have made progress, being able to sit and walk without major pain. Verley expressed appreciation for the support received from donors on GoFundMe and acknowledged the emotional impact of their recovery journey, highlighting feelings of gratitude and resilience.
"It's been really hard learning how to live in an injured body," they wrote in the caption. "I am a mentally strong person which has my mind feeling okay most days which makes it hard to remember my body isn't there yet."
Verley said they are "learning to give myself grace and be patient," whilst they recover. They also said they can walk and sit up "without major pain" and that most of their bruising has faded.
They thanked people for the support and said they'd been "sleeping A LOT," so hadn't been responding to messages. "I just want to be honest on that so no one thinks I'm ignoring them," they continued.
Verley also thanked people for their donations to the GoFundMe. They said, "I am forever great full to all who have made this recovery something I haven't had to fear."
