Comedian and social media star Laura Clery praised the first responders who helped her after she was pinned beneath a 600 pound fridge in a freak accident.
Clery was seen in an Instagram video wearing a neck brace while speaking with emergency workers in an ambulance.
āSo I was crushed by a 600 pound fridge,ā Clery said as she looked up at two firefighters. āIs that correct?ā
One of the mean ā both of whom wore navy blue uniforms ā responded, āYes.ā
A dazed Clery then looked into the camera before the clip ended. She wrote atop the video, āShout out to these actual HEROES who pushed a 600 pound fridge off of me.ā
āThis was right after the fentanyl hit and all of my pain [went] away (instantly) I just need to say THANK YOU to these AMAZING firefighters who saved my life!!ā the YouTuber captioned the video on Saturday.
āTruly. They got there so fast, broke through my garage door, and 3 of them pushed a 600 pound fridge off of me and got me safely to the trauma unit before things got worse.ā
Clery also reflected on how ādifferently this could have goneā and said she felt āoverwhelming gratitude.ā
āNo broken bones, my kids are okay and safe, I can walk⦠Iām so lucky!ā she continued, praising the personnel as being ācalm, kindā and handling āeverything like absolute heroes!ā
āAnd then right as one of them pushes the fridge off me, he goes, āWait⦠I watch all of your videos!ā and they all start hyping me up š like sir⦠I am currently being flattened but thank you šā
She concluded the post, āForever grateful for these men. Real life angels. ššā¤ļøā
In the comments thread, Clery admitted that she was ānervousā about fentanyl before it was administered, ābut the pain was so severe that they injected it into me and thank God I had no craving to do it again as a recovering addict,ā she wrote.
āThatās something we have to think about even when facing an immense amount of pain.ā
Clery, 39, shared details of the āmost terrifying night of [her] life as a single momā inĀ an Instagram uploadĀ on Thursday.
She said she was getting ready for bed earlier this week when her ā600 pound fridge slammed into me and pinned me against the counter.ā
During the terrifying incident, sheĀ ācouldnāt moveā and ācouldnāt breatheā and that her kids Alfie, 7, and Poppy, 5 ā whom she shares with ex-husband Stephen Hilton ā were in the house at the time.
āThank God it didnāt fall on my kids,ā she wrote atop a video of her being transported to an ambulance.
The social media personality was able to reach into her pocket for her phone and call 911. āIt took three firefighters to lift it off me,ā she said. āIām still shaking.ā
She was also able to text Hilton writing, āIām dying. Come by now now now.ā
In the video, Clery could be heard complaining of severe pain following the incident.
She later shared that her son Alfie, who is autistic, had toppled the weighty refrigerator while climbing on it and that it wasnāt āproperly mounted into the wall.ā
