Silvina Luna gave to heartbreaking testimony In THEY (America, 8 pm), the cycle conducted by Ángel De Brito, on his delicate health situation. “I’m in a very critical moment in my life. I’m trying to feel good, but so many things are happening to me and I deal with them as best I can”the actress has been saying so for six months is doing dialysis and waiting to be able to suffer a kidney transplant.
In a face-to-face meeting with the cycle driver, Silvina explained that for now it is not possible to transplant “for health reasons”. And she detailed: “I have a bacteria in my bloodwhich was detected by a small ball that appeared on my leg. Until this is resolved, they can’t transplant me And to fix it, I have to take medicine for another year.”
Meanwhile, since, as a result of the cosmetic surgery that ended up ruining his life, his kidneys have stopped working, Silvina does dialysis three times a week for four hours.
“Dialysis is a world I didn’t know. There are people who have been on dialysis for 5 or 10 years, I for 6 months,” he told De Brito.
And he explained: “As a result of the cosmetic surgery they gave me 13 years ago, I started to have hypocalcemia. For many years I had to have laboratory tests every two weeks and when my calcium went up a lot, they he hospitalized me for three days. Since it was only a few days, I went alone to get hospitalized and I didn’t tell anyone. Later I learned to ask for help“.
“So far I’ve been on corticosteroids, but a while ago I spent a month in the hospital, they did a lot of studies and a kidney biopsy which led to my kidneys were calcified. So youI had to start dialysis: I didn’t expect it to happen so fast.”
“Before I fought with the situation, in the sense that I was very sad about the dialysis. You’ll get used to it lateryou begin to see this or that person who is in the same room… I take a pillow, as everyone does, because the armchairs are very uncomfortable, I try to get some sleep so that the hours go by more quickly, I take a book …”.
Silvina Luna: “I try to find beautiful moments, even if they are small, I try to find some joy”
Talking to De Brito, Silvina admitted: “I have moments of acceptance and moments where I wake up and say, ‘This is a nightmare.‘. There are times when I want to stay asleep, but I have to go, because this is saving me. Without kidney function, I can’t live.”
“When I get home I feel exhausted: I want to go to bed and I can’t do anything. It’s day to day… I try to look for the good times, even if they are small… I try to find some happiness… I ask my friends to come to my house, because I can’t go out…”
“And the day after dialysis, I like it if I can go get a coffee… Gain strength where you can to keep living. I want to live, I love life“.
Silvina Luna: “When you live with pain, you can’t think of anything”
Silvina Luna counted THEY: “I was, for a long time, with massive pain in sciatic and leg. It’s very difficult, because it has become chronic. These are pains I’ve never had before. And when you live with pain, you can’t think of anything. Doctors They’re looking for the right painkillers to make me less sick“.
“Furthermore – he continued – they told me that I have to go to the gym to start regaining muscle mass since I have lost a lot of weight and am very weak”.
Silvina Luna, 42, has her 37-year-old brother as her only family. “He is fundamental in my life, just like the friends who are always there,” she says gratefully.
To face this difficult situation with integrity, Silvina tries to imagine a bright future. “I visualize that I am about to be transplanted and that I have returned to recover my life. But I know it won’t be like before“, he expressed.
And dreaming about her life after the transplant, she says she imagines herself “having more energy, having more fun and spending more time with the people I love.” “I also dream of being able to have a baby or adopt a baby“, revealed in THEY.
