Television Concern for presenter Helena Resano, admitted to the hospital since Monday: "Life, your body, has other plans"
Last Sunday,
Helena Resano
was at home preparing the entire agenda for the week.
However, a health problem took her to the hospital where she remains admitted.
The news broke this Thursday, causing a wave of concern about the health of the
laSexta Noticias
presenter .
She wanted to be the one, through a publication in
Infolibre
, to explain what happened to her and how she is feeling.
"On Sunday I was preparing for the week. Full of commitments, courses and recordings that were quite a challenge.
But life, your body, has other plans. I've been here since Monday
."
With this message, published on her social networks on Wednesday, along with an out-of-focus image from a hospital bed,
Helena Resano
tried to stop the rumors of her absence throughout the week of
laSexta Noticias
.
The publication became a wave of information and concern that the journalist wanted to stop.
"On Sunday, suddenly,
my left side fell asleep, from the waist down
. I thought it was a pinch, one more of the things my back usually suffers from. My plan was the same as always: stretch, a little rest, heat local, muscle relaxant and on Monday like new. It wasn't like that," says the journalist.
The next day,
Helena Resano
realized that the situation was not improving and decided to go to the hospital "thinking that they would give me something more powerful for the clamping, that the leg would wake up and that I had to make an appointment as soon as possible for my physio, with Álvaro." .
However, the journalist did not leave the hospital.
"
The paralysis actually went upwards and began to affect the other leg," says the journalist.
And it was at that moment when, according to Resano
's story
, he realized that something else was happening, that it was not a simple impingement or a lumbar problem: "Doctors know how to tell you things and when to say them. At first consultation after the first MRI, the orthopedic surgeon looked at me and said, "What do you want to ask me?"
There were seconds of silence
. I had many questions but I didn't want to verbalize them. I told him like this, "I prefer not to ask." "And I prefer not to answer you because everything I say are assumptions.
"There began an endless round of tests, of all kinds, of entering and leaving those distressing tubes," says the journalist.
"Of seeing everything that was happening in that column, in my head.
And of being afraid. I admit it
. In those endless moments in the MRI tube I have reminded myself that I had forgotten that what was most valuable, my health, had been left aside. That all the anguish I had because the week's commitments were beginning to falter, it didn't matter. I couldn't do anything if I wasn't well.
Helena Resano
remains in the hospital, the tests are still waiting to know what caused her paralysis.
"I still have no answer, no diagnosis," she says.
"Probably the most exasperating thing for the doctors who have not stopped looking for answers
. But, at least, finding the path to recovery. The leg is still there, not wanting to wake up. I have already told you that we have many dances left to enjoy, many "There are walks to do. And either he gets on with it or I get on with it. And there we are negotiating. With the rehabilitator, the leg and me. I can't beat a stubborn person."
The journalist explains that she had no intention of reporting on what was happening to her, but that given her professional commitments, she preferred to post the publication of her in the hospital to clarify her absence.
The wave of messages and concern overwhelmed her: "My phone is full of messages. And I am infinitely grateful for all the love. Mine has been a scare, it has remained that way. And it is surely a warning, a reminder, that I have "I have to take things more calmly, that I'm not
superwoman
, that I don't have to achieve everything. And that, if I don't arrive, nothing happens."
