Nikki Valdez opened up about the excitement and anxiety she experienced on her first day back to work since recovering from COVID-19.
“Still thankful. First day back at work after recovering from COVID was a bit of a struggle,” she stated while showing a photo of herself on-set, through her Instagram page yesterday, April 18.
She admitted having mixed feelings about going back to work, saying she was happy and excited to return, but also nervous and anxious.
“Nevertheless, I am thankful to see everyone today. We had our own share of stories to tell,” Valdez added. “My body is extra tired but my heart is filled with gratitude for this day and all the people I am surrounded with. Indeed, there is always something to be thankful for.”
Valdez revealed last week that both she and her husband tested positive for and have since recovered from COVID-19. She also spoke about the agony of isolation which she experienced while she was battling the disease. She added that surviving COVID-19 gave her a “healthier perspective” on things and made her family grow stronger.
The actress’ “Bagong Umaga” co-stars Sunshine Cruz and Heaven Peralejo also tested positive for COVID-19. Both of them have since recovered from the disease. JB
