90 Day Fiance star Colt Johnson wasn’t always easy to love, but I’m feeling for him now… as he faces the possible amputation of his leg, Colt is probably terrified. I’m a cochlear implant user, so I understand what it’s like to be disabled. I lost most of my hearing and then got some of it back.
However, I have never had to undergo as serious an operation as Colt might need.
I think it’s easy for most of us to imagine the horror and dread that inevitably accompanies a diagnosis of “possible amputation,” but few of us can actually feel its pain. Only those who have gone through the same thing can truly understand. It’s a journey that so many people have had to go through, including beautiful runner and model Aimee Mullins, who competed in the Paralympic Games. She had both legs amputated when she was a child.
Colt may be very fragile now
Life is testing you
The thought of possible amputation must be soul-destroying. If Colt is in danger of losing his leg, how John Yates reported, so he’ll be dealing with sleepless nights, stressful days, and dramatic mood swings. He may feel fine sometimes when he is thinking about other things – however, his thoughts will always return to what is looming in the distance. No one deserves this – not even Colt, whose Peter Pan syndrome was exhaustively displayed on screen.
For Colt, life has been complicated. Relationships have been messy and very transactional. First, he tried to make things work with the fiery Brazilian Larissa Lima, who was clearly panning for gold in full force. His ulterior motives and violent tantrums were two reasons why that romance was doomed.
After Colt and Larissa broke up, he moved on with Jess Caroline, but was not emotionally invested in that relationship. He cheated on her with the woman he truly loved – his “friend”, Vanessa Guerra. He married Vanessa, but they separated. The pressures linked to notorious monster sister-in-law Debbie took their toll. However, Vanessa may have wanted to leave Colt for other reasons. He reportedly distanced himself from Debbie to try to save the marriage. That wasn’t enough to keep them together.
Colt injured his leg again
Some hot tea about his post-injury life has been spilled
Shabootydot.com recently shared some gossip that might be true, saying that Colt was in:
“single house”
in Mexico, filming a series with another 90DF alum, Cortney Reardanz. Apparently, Cortney and Colt were involved, but she was also flirting with another known colleague, Usman “Sojaboy” Umar. After his second accident, Colt was trying to heal in Florida at Cortney’s parents’ house, but they grew tired of “Coltee” and “drove him out.” That’s a little dramatic, but it’s more of the same in terms of Colt’s turbulent love life thus far.
He is a lightning rod for electric but shady women, including Cortney, who may have used him for a plot device.
All of this means that Colt could be heartbroken again as he also thinks about losing his leg. It’s so sad that he’s probably in a dark place right now when he was trying so hard to move into the light. Colt was tending to his leg before he injured it again. He was trying to make sure it healed completely. He was also paying attention to his fitness, as best he could while injured. In fact, he seemed to be entering a true “revenge makeover” phase following his split from Vanessa.
Colt was ready to claim the spotlight again after avoiding publicity following his first accident. When he first recovered, he was definitely in a dark place – he talked about it. The recovery was very difficult – in fact, he had to learn to walk again. Now, he’s injured again and his leg is reportedly so badly infected that it may need to be amputated.
Colt is back in the dark, but he has a lot to live for. No matter what happens to his leg, he needs to seek happiness wherever he can find it. He may need to avoid certain people or take a break from dating. Exes and other high-stress individuals are not what he needs right now. To overcome this obstacle, he must set interesting goals and move towards them. It’s hope that keeps people going, and if Colt can cultivate a happy and grateful attitude while trying to get what he wants, he can have a good life.
People have been through the worst things and come out stronger. People left the concentration camps. They have survived the most horrible and degrading events imaginable, and although they never forget, they continue to feel joy, which is perhaps more intense because they have felt so much sadness and fear.
The human spirit is sometimes dazzling. Colt can deal with his health crisis and find ways to enjoy life, whether he loses a leg or not. However, the process will be painful, with plenty of darkness before dawn. The 90 Day Fiance star is going through a lot and I personally wish him all the best. I hope he doesn’t lose his leg, but as a person with a disability I know that people with disabilities have a lot to give.
