The drive for passion and relentless willpower can make even the hardest of roads easier and amplify the process of recovery. The road to recovery from post-surgery wounds from her thighs up to her shoulders of the fitness influencer Lexi Reed is a standing testament to it. She was diagnosed with calciphylaxis, which is a very rare disease that builds up excessive calcium in blood vessels and blocks blood flow to the skin. 

This disease caused kidney failure and the only way out is to have a kidney transplant. Her disease led Reed to a medically induced coma, after undergoing 59 weeks of treatment. She was left with more than 30 wounds on her body and left her unable to walk or even stand up by herself. However, it was her passion for getting fit that helped her get back on track.
