Station 42 – OPE
Performance of an operation – July 2007, Munich
Eight months of hard pain almost drove me mad. The doctors said it was stress, but I know my body and its reactions. Thanks to a Columbian doctor, César Pérez, who found the cause of my pain, I was operated in urgency of two cervical hernias. They pressed the spinal cord so, that I almost became paralytic. It should have been a three-hour operation, but it took 6 hours, and the hernia looked worst than in the radiographies, so the surgeon. Thanks to my Javi, to our daughters and to all the personnel of the private Station 42 I could get over very soon.
The pain disappeared completely, and with it the voice. It is normal that a nerve gets affected in an operation like this. As I was in the clinic I knitted my surgical collar with flowers, because a woman looks quite ugly with the neck hidden. I went to have lunch with Javi in his work and then strolling around the city with my flower collar. The people smiled. Here it is enough when you give them visual love.
I was in the midst of the organization of FICCU ( I. FESTIVAL INTERNACIONAL CINE CUBANO, in Múnich) but I did not stop. The voice came back with my performatic exercises of speech therapy, because the speech therapist was very expensive and she fell asleep during the first and only one session we had. I spend all my life learning from everything and from everyone. LIVE YOUR LIFE! DON'T WASTE YOUR ENERGIES IN WHAT DOES NOT DESERVE IT! TRY TO BE HAPPY! TO HAVE A FAMILY AND TAKE CARE OF IT! EVERYTHING ELSE COMES AND GOES, BUT LIFE!
Thanks to read me!
