My grandma is the best person I’ve ever met. She used to be the glue that put together the whole family. She has always taken care of each one of us any time that was needed. She is one of the people that makes the world a better place. I still have some shirts she made us. She worked as a needlewoman, I used to joke with her that as a surgeon, me too.
Mi yaya es la mejor persona que he conocido. Solía ser el pegamento que mantenía unida a toda la familia. Ha cuidado de cada uno de nosotros cada vez que ha hecho falta. Es una de esas personas que hace del mundo un lugar mejor. Aún tengo camisas que nos hacía. Trabajaba como costurera, yo solía bromear con ella, que como cirujano, yo también.

4 years ago my sister was to her house to have lunch. She found her on the floor. She might have been lying down there for hours. She couldn’t speak well. She was 84 then, so once she was admitted in the hospital little was done despite she was a fully independent woman before that date. Furthermore, the exact moment of the stroke couldn’t be determined because she was alone so no therapy could be done.
That was her first ischemic stroke. There has been another ischemic and one more hemorrhagic. Her previous life was stolen. He has no long term memories. She is completely dependent and lives in a nursing home. We go to see her every single day, since she is there. But still when she realize where she is she became badly depressed. The good point is that she forgets it quickly as well.
I’ve just come home to see her today. It breaks my heart any time I see her sad. It really does.
Acabo de llegar a casa de verla hoy. Me parte el alma cada vez que la veo triste. De verdad que lo sí.
In the last times many people ask me why a general surgeon is interested in strokes. Do you know why? Because I would like to avoid an independent person becomes completely dependent. I can’t revert my grandma situation but if only I could improve the prognosis of someone it would be worthy…
Un fuerte abrazo Soraya
