Kimberly Williams-Paisley Undergoes Major Surgery

On Saturday, Kimberly Williams-Paisley went to Instagram to share a serious medical situation she has been dealing with the past two years. The Hallmark actress who is married to country superstar Brad Paisley shared that two years ago, she lost her voice at the annual Alzheimer’s fundraiser that she holds in Nashville. This happened when she was on stage.

It was embarrassing & scary & it never quite came back.

She then admitted, “It’s been a challenging couple of years, but we finally got to the bottom of it. I have damage to my laryngeal nerve.”

Therefore, she had surgery at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville. Best of all, she revealed, “It’s sounding so much better!!”

Add to that she shared a photo of the scar from the surgery. She is pretty proud of it. “I have a bada** scar that’s smiling at me across my neck.”

Hallmark Star Revealed She Felt ‘Trapped In My Body’

Now that she is on the mend, Kimberly Williams-Paisley finally feels she can talk about her two year ordeal. But admits she held back on purpose.

She began, I haven’t wanted to share about this much until now because it felt too vulnerable.” Kimberly admitted that as an actress who has been in a cornucopia of roles, as well as charities, she “took for granted” her voice. This situation led people to believe she is “a shy for reserved person. I’ve felt trapped in my body.”

Over the past two years, she admitted to feeling “shame and self-loathing.” However, now she is “feeling SO GRATEFUL.” That is because so many people were there to help her along on this difficult journey.

The Nashville star revealed her medical team used “laryngoplasty to plump up my paralyzed vocal cord so it hits the other one.” Next, she declared, “MODERN MEDICINE IS MIRACULOUS.”

Most of all, during these two years of uncertainty, Kimberly Williams-Paisley used this time to work on herself. That includes dealing with stress, taking better care of herself, and even deadlifting 100 pounds!

“I’ve healed old emotional wounds. I’ve learned the strength & beauty of silence.”
