“My leg is getting better but I still can’t get down. So I can’t walk. It makes me a little desperate. I’m an agile person, I’m always doing things. Since I can’t move, I’m getting pretty scared. It makes me very scared, it brings me a lot of discomfort. Not only can my foot not touch the ground, but nobody can touch it,” said Luciana Gimenez.
“I have this long leg, I keep looking at my foot and it makes me desperate. I walk with a walker, crutches, which I’m still learning, and a wheelchair. I’m still on a lot of medication. The drug doesn’t relieve the pain and we don’t want to increase the dose because we actually want to stop taking it. I dare say this is the most challenging moment of my life. I’ve never experienced that before.”

“Today what I wanted most was to be on the run, and I come down to a very simple question. I wanted to run… I depend on people, friends and helpers to keep me going. It made me want to live in a different way. These two weeks have been a blow and I am facing this new reality, embracing it with humility and with the will to leave a stronger person,” he said.
