THE Michalis Mitroussis spoke through the hospital about the serious traffic accident in which he was involved, as a car driver pulled him over while he was driving his motorcycle.

The popular actor spoke about his surgery which took place on Monday, December 23 and explained in detail what happened with the accident, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation and how close he came to death. He described how the machine spun out of his control, but he managed to react by running away from it to avoid greater danger. As Michalis Mitrousis mentioned, he will need physical therapy for his rehabilitation, while he noted that his partner and daughter are constantly supporting him and that he has been advised to remain immobile for six weeks.

“Happy Day for you, Black Day for me,” he initially joked and explained why he got up right after falling off the bike: “It was luck, the reflexes because I’m working out. When you fall and tumble and then get up, you grab your limbs to see how you are. And on the other hand, I had a saint.”

Michalis Mitrousis revealed that the operation had a positive outcome, but he did not fail to note the seriousness of the accident and how much he was at risk. “The surgery went very well. I am very well, it was an excellent operation on the outer fibula of the right leg. The machine went to my left, I went to the right. Fortunately the car braked and went to the right, because I was going under its wheel. My head went about 15 points from the wheel. The driver of the car was in another world, a 300 engine was in front of him, not a fly. He apologized to me, but I told him “what should I do with the apology, you will spend Christmas with your family and I am in the KAT”. I could not celebrate at KAT.

Everything is recorded. Everything will be done with lawyers etc., we’ll see how this story goes”, he then added and revealed that he was the one who left the engine to avoid being dragged away by the car. “I could have closed my eyes and been killed or I could have gone right. At that moment I fleetingly made the move I had to make, to leave the machine and fall to the right. The machine disappeared. I left the machine, it would have dragged me away. Man and machine would be one. After the people in front of me who stopped said “we saw a machine coming by itself and we didn’t see the man on top”.

In addition, he said that in a few days he will be released from the hospital and will have to do physical therapy for a while. “My doctor will see me today. He’ll tell me if I’m going out the day after tomorrow. I won’t spend New Year’s Eve in the hospital, I’ll go home. He wants good behavior though. Recovery is the issue, because after this fall my left shoulder blade doesn’t work well and I can’t get crutches. So I got a stroller to get around. A physiotherapist has to come and fix my left side of the back, and then when the cast is off, fix my leg.”

Finally, Michalis Mitroussis stated that his partner and daughter were immediately by his side in the hospital. “My partner came to the hospital first and then my daughter, my girls took care of me. My partner adores me. Immobility for at least six weeks.”
