Miriam Margolyes, an 83-year-old actress known for her role in Harry Potter, recently shared an update on her health struggles. She has been diagnosed with spinal stenosis, a condition that puts pressure on the spinal cord and nerves, causing pain and muscle weakness. Miriam underwent a surgery last year to replace her aortic valve with a cow's valve, in order to avoid a more invasive open-heart surgery.
In a recent interview, Miriam revealed that she has been registered as disabled and relies on various types of assistance to get around. She uses two sticks, a walker, and has recently acquired a mobility scooter, which she describes as a "new toy" that she enjoys whizzing around on. However, this is a far cry from her previous active lifestyle and Miriam has been open about her struggles with weight, admitting that it has caused her spine issues.
Miriam spoke about her weight struggles in a podcast with Elizabeth Day, saying that it is the one thing she has not been able to conquer. She expressed embarrassment and disappointment in herself for not prioritizing her health and succumbing to her cravings. She also revealed that she has accepted the fact that she will likely end up in a wheelchair due to her health issues.
In another podcast with Jessie and Lennie Ware, Miriam talked about her recent heart surgery and how she is not actively preparing for the possibility of being in a wheelchair, but has come to terms with it. She joked that she now has a cow's heart and while it may not be the entire heart, it has definitely improved her condition.
Despite her struggles, Miriam remains positive and continues to work in the entertainment industry. She recently shared her story in hopes of inspiring others to prioritize their health and not make the same mistakes she did. If you have a celebrity story to share, feel free to reach out to us.
