Ex-jungle camper Natascha Ochsenknecht had to go through a lot. Now she talks regarding her physical hardships and a near-death experience.
The reality TV actress speaks openly regarding her ordeal in the series “Dies Ochsenknechts” and makes a surprising revelation: she had a near-death experience.
As early as the 1980s, Natascha Ochsenknecht complained of severe abdominal pain that felt like “a subway train had run through her stomach”. In addition, the 57-year-old had to vomit up to twelve times a day and had to sleep sitting up, otherwise she mightn’t breathe.
“I was a time bomb”
At first, Natascha Ochsenknecht was not taken seriously, but then the diagnosis came: Uwe Ochsenknecht’s (66) ex was allergic to the birth control pill. This caused deposits to form in the vessels in the abdomen. “It was a time bomb,” said Natascha. If a vessel had burst at birth, she might have bled to death. By then, their sons, Wilson Gonzalez, 31, and Jimi Blue, 30, were born.
Natascha Ochsenknecht was unable to move
The reality TV star had his first surgery in 1994, followed by two more surgeries. at the birth of her daughter Cheyenne (21) then her scar, which stretches from her breast to the bottom of her pants, ruptured. The near-death experience came following the second operation: the morning following the operation, she felt like she was suffocating.
“I mightn’t breathe at all, I mightn’t move and then this scar. I knew that if I coughed now, my scar would probably burst,” she recalls.
The angels encouraged her
She just managed to push the emergency button before she passed out. Then she registered that the nursing staff came into her room. “I saw four angels fluttering there,” says Natascha. The angels told her to cough and that it was not her time.
Then the scar was torn and Natascha Ochsenknecht finally got air once more. After the incident, she underwent a third operation and the abdominal wall was stabilized with a mesh and disk. Despite everything, Natascha remains positive: “If you are seriously ill, you have to make the best of it, but in the end it made me stronger and stronger.”
