«I remember that I was diagnosed on February 29it was leap year, everything was kind of crazy.”

He says that it was until a trip to Cartagena that he felt that something was wrong. Over there began to feel quite fatigued but he attributed this discomfort to the heat of the city, since this does not suit people with his condition.
However, once he arrived in Bogotá he continued to feel bad, he even says that while having breakfast he realized that he did not take in the flavors of the food, he did not see well and he could not pick up the cutlery eitherwhich set off alarm bells.
“We went to breakfast with my boyfriend and I realized that he couldn’t perceive the envelopes well, he couldn’t grab the cutlery or eat well. He kept me very close to the plate because he couldn’t see very well. I had no coordination. That day I was hospitalized… I was hospitalized for a long time“
The support of her boyfriend and his family was fundamental
After this relapse, Linda Palma began her recovery process in 2017 but it was not easy, as she says that due to the loss of motor skills she suffered due to her illness, he had to relearn how to perform acts as simple as walking, brushing his teeth and combing his hair, among others.
Visibly moved, she says that even in the process, her mother and sister had to help her bathe and dressShe couldn’t even stand up straight in a chair, which made her feel like a burden.
Despite the hard times she experienced, the presenter says that she never lost faith and always had the unconditional support of her family and her boyfriend, who at one point asked her to get away but he never listened to her.
“In my case, I have to be thankful that I have always had Diego Pulecio by my side.. I have always saidhe is an angel in my life in the moments in which I was and have been depressed or distressed.“
He continued recounting:
“At that moment I felt like a burden, so I told him “you don’t have to carry me because I’m not your responsibility. You can love me, love me, adore me, but it’s not your responsibility, I let you go. But he got super hysterical and said “how can you think, don’t even tell me that. I am here and here I stay.”
The woman from Barranquilla says that fortunately Pulecio did not pay attention to her, because currently they are happily engaged and marriage bells are expected to ring in 2021.
