Charly Boy's emotional message to his wife
In his post, the Area Fada encouraged his wife to resist the urge to rush her healing and to honour every small milestone along the way.
The legendary singer also acknowledged how much strength she has shown over the years, including the patience it has taken to share a life with someone as colourful as himself.
He wrote:
"My love, one step at a time. I know you will get back on your feet, and when you do, you will look back at this moment and smile at how far you have come. My baby went through a major surgery 2days ago, she's already on her feet, cause she has to relearn how to walk again. Don't be in a hurry. Take your time, trust the process, and celebrate every little progress you make. Every step counts, no matter how small it seems. You have always been a strong woman, living with the madness dats Charlyboy, but remember, strength is not just about doing everything on your own. It is also about giving yourself the grace to learn, to rest, and to try again. Keep going, my love. We are cheering you on, and I can't wait to see you walking confidently again. One day at a time, one step at a time. You've got this! My people pls wish my wife well."

"I wish mama quick recovery. Mine is spinal cord injury, I just hope I can walk again without using the walking frame again."
@WakaCommunity commented:
"Feel better soon Lady Diane. You will be back fitter and stronger in a heartbeat. My 60 year old younger sis had a knee replacement and she's bounced back healthier and wakaing. You will too."

"May you recover quick and well. The Lord reigns, you will walk again without any support. Great family"
