Overview
- Effenberg posted on Tuesday that she washed her hair for the first time in about 20 days and wrote that she had "fought back," sharing a photo from a hospital bed.
- She fell ill in mid-September and had two coronary stents placed around her 61st birthday on September 20 to improve blood flow to her heart.
- Doctors performed a lung puncture after detecting fluid and treated her with a strong antibiotic, and her clinical values have reportedly improved day by day.
- Effenberg thanked hospital staff and said her husband Stefan and daughter Lucia visited her in hospital, describing family support as a key part of her recovery.
- Results from the lung puncture and a firm discharge date have not been released, and coverage has been driven by Effenberg’s own statements to tabloids and her Instagram update.
