After waking up from a two-day coma, Angela Magana is grateful for the show of support she received during her ordeal.
Early Tuesday, the Combate Americas fighter lapsed into a coma following an emergency procedure to treat a “rare neurological disorder” identified as cauda equina syndrome. According to her coach who was relaying information via Magana’s Twitter account, Magana suffered a herniated disc in training and when she underwent a nerve block to treat it, that led to her requiring neurological surgery to treat the ensuing disorder.
Magana’s coach also shared several videos that Magana filmed before going under the knife, in which she expressed concern over the administering of the anesthesia.
