Am I supposed to be ungrateful for surviving, considering that only death could have freed me from trauma, negativity, and my permanent injury?\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Mpisane reminded followers that her recovery was anything but simple. She revealed that she was fortunate to avoid amputation, describing the procedure that saved her leg as both costly and life-changing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany can\u2019t say the same, but I\u2019m very fortunate that my leg didn\u2019t have to be amputated. It was a costly procedure, and I\u2019m blessed to have 2 feet and 10 toes today. I had to learn how to walk two years after my accident and adopt a life with amnesia,\u201d she shared.<\/p>\n<p>The influencer added that while she may appear strong on the outside, her journey has been filled with challenges.<\/p>\n<p>She questioned why her moonboot continues to attract negative commentary on nearly every post.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI may not look like my problems, but my life hasn\u2019t been easy, and your negative comments only highlight your disappointment in my resilience. It seems people find joy in others\u2019 misfortunes. Every post attracts negative comments about my Moonboot. Why?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Concluding her message on a defiant note, Mpisane made it clear she refuses to apologise for surviving and prioritising her healing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSurviving is not something I will apologize for. I\u2019m a warrior.
