Kel Mitchell recently shared more details about a health-related incident that led to his hospitalization earlier in the week. In a video posted on his Instagram, the actor reassured his fans that he was doing well and was at home with his family. This update came after Mitchell had previously described the experience as “genuinely frightening.”
He recounted the events that led to his hospitalization, explaining that while he was out shopping, he suddenly felt the room spinning. Initially thinking it was dehydration, he attempted to remedy the situation by getting water and food. However, he soon experienced numbness in the right side of his arm and leg, followed by an inability to swallow, causing him to panic.
Mitchell then made the decision to drive himself to a local hospital, a decision he admits he wouldn’t advise others to do. At the medical center, he failed the arm and leg test, leading to fears of a more serious condition. He underwent a CT scan and EKG, which ultimately led to an overnight hospital stay.
Fortunately, it was discovered that Mitchell was experiencing symptoms caused by a bulging disc from a prior injury, which was pressing against a nerve. He expressed gratitude for the outpouring of prayers and well-wishes from his fans and shared his relief that the situation was not as serious as initially feared.
The day after the incident, Mitchell took to Instagram to thank his fans for their support. He acknowledged that the scare was real, but so was the support he received. While he didn’t go into detail about the incident at the time, he expressed gratitude for being on the road to recovery at home, surrounded by the love of his family, attributing it to both the grace of God and the skill of the medical team.
Aside from his health scare, Mitchell is also making headlines for his upcoming role in the sequel to the 1997 film “Good Burger.” Titled “Good Burger 2,” the movie co-stars Mitchell and Kenan Thompson and is set to premiere on Paramount+ on November 22.
This recent health scare serves as a reminder of the importance of seeking medical attention when experiencing alarming symptoms. Mitchell’s decision to share his experience with the public also sheds light on the severity of certain health conditions and the support system that individuals rely on in times of need.
The actor’s transparency and openness about his health journey are not only a source of reassurance for his fans but also a testament to the power of community and the impact of sharing personal experiences. Mitchell’s message serves as a reminder to prioritize one’s health and to appreciate the outpouring of love and support during challenging times.
