The actress, also known for her role in the American TV sitcom “Step by Step,” recounted how the accident took place, explaining, “My husband grabbed my hand at the top of our bedroom stairs. He uncharacteristically slipped at the top and fell and I fell on top of him.”
“It’s 50 steps down. We didn’t get hurt,” she continued. “But the torque of that fall threw me back on the cement. Full force. I heard my neck break.”
However, Somers didn’t let her “long recovery” deter her from keeping a positive outlook on life.
“It’s just been a long recovery. I had to go into rehab to learn how to walk again. But I did,” she told the magazine. “You know, every bad thing that happens to you is an opportunity to look for the good. I’ve learned so much about gratitude. I’ve discovered God through all this in a way that I’ve never discovered God before.”
“I always think. What good is that negative thought going to do me” There’s nothing, there’s no payoff,” Somers added. “So, I live in positives and try to speak in positives, because that’s what I believe. – Source
