Friends, I’m fine!
I would like to thank the SAMU team of professionals for their prompt assistance, as well as the doctors and nurses at Santa Casa de Bragança Paulista. I thank everyone who accompanied me to my political office when I felt the first symptoms. After all, primary care was instrumental in saving my life and making my recovery successful. I would also like to thank the doctors, nurses, physiotherapists and speech therapists at Sirio Lebanon Hospital, as I stayed in the hospital for my complete rehabilitation.
In the past few days I have received with great affection expressions of support and wish for a speedy recovery. I sincerely thank you all for your messages and prayers.
The worst is gone! And thank God that health is improving every day!
From everything I’ve encountered in the past few days, here’s the lesson: Stroke can hit all ages! So beware.
I thank God and my greatest strength: my family!
Big hug! “
