When you love someone deeply, you stay by their side despite the difficulties. This is the example of unconditional love demonstrated by Chuck Norris, the American actor famous for his action films, who put his career on hold to take care of his sick wife.
Chuck Norris, known for being tough on screen, turned out to be a loving and gentle husband at home. In an interview, the actor expressed his unwavering support for his wife, who fell ill after gadolinium poisoning in 2013.
Gena Norris, a model, experienced multiple episodes of pain after an MRI procedure.
His wife had to undergo tests to explore rheumatoid arthritis when she received an injection before an MRI. Since that day, Gena Norris began to experience symptoms and feel different.
At the first alarming signs, Gena went with her husband to the hospital for a thorough examination. Unfortunately, this first hospital visit became the start of a long series of consultations.
Pain and burning sensations throughout her body gradually turned into muscle and brain malfunctions. Gena could no longer think or articulate.
Chuck could only support his wife, who was living a real nightmare in her hospital bed. The actor said he saw “death in her eyes.” However, thanks to his support and presence, his wife was able to hold on and overcome the illness.
The former model underwent intensive treatment at a specialized clinic, where she remained on IV drips for 5 months. The actor stayed by his wife’s side and that he read her 17 books during her recovery period.
After a tough time, Chuck was able to celebrate his birthday with “the love of his life.” The actor showed through photos shared on his Instagram account how well his wife was doing.
