Romeo Miller is still on the mend after suffering injuries from a “horrific” car accident at the beginning of the year.

On May 13, the musician, 34, posted photos on his Instagram Stories from the hospital, revealing that he couldn’t walk recently after having a spinal procedure.

“After not being able to walk this past weekend,” he wrote alongside a photo of his bandaged neck. “Back to get spinal/neck work. Thought I was done with procedures but was assured this healing process of getting a fully healthy neck and back after my accident will be a marathon. So fam and friends, be patient with me. Didn’t have time to text back everybody in real time, but today was a success. And I’m good and resting now. Onward and upward!”

“It’s gone be a marathon to get right, but up for the challenge and potential new growth!” he added.

Miller also posted a video documenting his recovery journey since the accident. It included clips of him in the hospital as well as in the gym rehabbing and working out.

“My new year's resolution prayer was this, ‘God I’m ready to become my strongest, this year I will be in my best physical shape. 2024 I will transform and miss no days of working out. Guide me and please give me strength,’” he captioned the post. “The first few weeks started off with a bang! And then I was involved in an horrific car accident on the freeway.”

Miller said he and his cousin “walked away alive” from the accident. However, he had to take the next few months to “heal in peace and private.”

“My head injuries made everything difficult, but after my successful neck/spinal procedures and clearance to get back to my active life, I realized that what I prayed for going into the new year wasn’t what I needed, but what I selfishly wanted,” he wrote.

“On my journey of rehabbing and being STILL, I was finally truly able to ONLY lean on God. It wasn’t my body that needed transformation, but it was my mind and spirit,” he continued. “All movement is not forward and nothing ever grows without a seed. I asked to become my strongest, and God did just that. I see even better now. The signs are everywhere. Joshua 1:9.”

In the comments section, Miller received tons of praise and well wishes, including a message from Terry Crews.

“I’m so glad you guys are doing better,” one follower wrote while another commented, “Beautiful blessing so glad you are ok and safe God bless🙏🏽🥰🙏🏽”
