Ashley Judd has offered more details on her recovery after suffering a "catastrophic" accident in the Congo jungle.
"Dear Friends, Ubuntu. I am because we are," Judd, 52, wrote in an Instagram post, only two weeks after her rescue from an African rainforest. "I want to give my deepest and most vulnerable thanks to Sunninghill Hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa, for making split-second decisions upon my arrival. I arrived to them from DRC in terrible shape and my leg had no pulse."
Judd "desperately needed a blood transfusion" when she was taken to a hospital in South Africa and met with nurses, who "cared for the trauma in my body as well as my soul with equal proficiency."
In her social media post, Judd shared a sweet moment the medical team celebrated after her condition was stabilised in Intensive Care.
She also acknowledged her father Michael Ciminella, who rushed to be there for her. He later accompanied her on a 22-hour trip back to the United States.

"What he did was significant and I am forever in his debt," the actress wrote. "It must be noted I was being cared for during the Covid B.1.351 strain that is plaguing [South Africa]. Sunninghill is world-class and a wonder. Thank you to my trauma surgeon, anesthesiologist, head of nursing, hospital management — everyone."
The actress also shared the text message she sent her father after the ordeal.
"My beloved Dad, who had gotten the text no parent ever wants: "emergency, can't answer questions, please come now," had indeed, because he is vaccinated, been able to come to South Africa," Judd wrote. "He has been my rock, companion, resource, helped me listen to so many doctors, critical support system, and kind, loving presence as I have wept and wept."
Two weeks ago, Judd revealed she'd experienced the "harrowing" incident that left her leg shattered in four different places.
"The difference between a Congolese person and me is disaster insurance that allowed me, 55 hours after my accident, to get to an operating table in South Africa," Judd said in an Instagram Live from her hospital bed.
She spent "five hours of lying on the forest floor" before she was eventually evacuated.
