A few years ago, actress Eva Jeníčková’s life turned upside down. Almost no one knew what hell the representative of Vendulka the comforter from the legendary Poets was going through. The culprit was a serious injury, the consequences of which he is still struggling with.
Only those closest to her knew about what Jeníčková had been going through in recent years. However, now the actress has decided to share with the world the event that changed her life. February 18, 2018 became her fate, writes the organization GoFundMe.
At that time, the representative of Vendulka the comforter from Poets or Marika from Snow White and the Moss was walking in Venice, California with her dog named Gioia. However, two pit bulls suddenly rushed towards her from behind and beat the actress. “One pinned my left leg, the other shot me into the air, where I turned and landed on my right side with my left leg folded under my right,” described Jeníčková.

The owners of the dogs left the actress lying there and disappeared. She ran home in terrible pain and with tears in her eyes. However, after a month, the pain did not subside and she was still limping.
It was then that she decided to see a doctor. However, for two years, experts were unable to give her a proper diagnosis. They even recommended a hip replacement. “It was a terrible feeling, because I didn’t understand why it would suddenly be so necessary. And above all, I felt that he was wrong,” said Jeníčková.
In the end, she was proven right. She found an expert who revealed the problem. “I had four torn muscles in my right hip. The gluteus medius muscle, which is the main weight bearer of the body, was completely torn. It thinned out and the surgeon had to use a donor tendon to reattach it. All three hamstrings in the back of my leg were torn. They were literally only connected by a tiny thread in the lower part of the pelvis,” Eva described the injury.
She therefore underwent a 3.5-hour operation and was on bed rest for the next 12 weeks. The doctors then also told her that she had been walking “for nothing” for almost two years. In addition, if she went ahead with the replacement of the hip joint, she would end up in a wheelchair. The actress also struggled with other health problems after the accident. She was also troubled by a herniated disc.
Eva is still not healthy and still has a long way to go. However, she invested all her savings in the treatment, and also had to go into debt. Her friend Venetia Phillipová therefore started a collection in her name. Through the GoFundMe organization, they are trying to raise money to cover the actress’ medical expenses.
“I always felt like I had to rely entirely on myself. But this has taught me that with injury and illness, that’s not always possible. It teaches you humility and gratitude for people who care for you, understand you, and help in any way way. I appreciate them so much and I love my family and friends,” the actress concluded.
