A Los Angeles-based travel influencer took to Instagram to share a “life threatening” experience she faced on a recent trip to Thailand. Dr Cara Hodgson, a travel content creator and orthodontist, said in an Instagram post that she was electrocuted in a freak accident and left fighting for her life.
The 33-year-old influencer said “in the blink of an eye, it could all be taken away”. She said she is lucky to be here in 2024.
Hodgson said she suffered a freak accident on her trip and was electrocuted by power lines and ended up blacking out and being rushed to the ER in Thailand. She said it has been the worst 10 days of her life and she was going in and out of hospitals fighting to regain her strength.
“I am so lucky to be here today. Thank you to each and every one of you for all of the phone calls, messages, voice messages, texts, flowers, breakfast deliveries, baked goods, chocolates, cards, and just the never ending support and love. Each text and message, even when I was too weak to answer, made all the difference to keep me fighting when I was losing hope,” she wrote further.
“Omg! I’m so sorry you’ve been going through that. Sending you love and prayers for a full recovery,” a user commented. “Reading your story brought tears to my face as I lost my mom last year. Very glad to hear you’re still here with us. Always enjoy reading your posts and messages. As we all need to remember, life and our health is precious so don’t take it for granted. Don’t sweat the small stuff and make sure to let those around you know you love them and live life without regrets. Best wishes to you for a full recovery,” said another.
