00:00Tell me a little bit, because when you come to Santiago,
00:04you have a health issue that occurs to you.
00:06Aren't we from Santiago?
00:07No, we are not. No, I was younger.
00:09How old were you?
00:10I was 8 years old.
00:11Between the year and the 8 years, I was always the sick girl,
00:17weak, sick, pale,
00:20lazy, because I was always sick,
00:23with little energy, thin,
00:25half-moral.
00:26In the end, I was like a very pale girl.
00:29The other day we were looking for pictures with my mom,
00:31and I was looking, and I was like,
00:32but how was she so pale?
00:34Like pale, skinny, skinny,
00:37very ugly, very bad.
00:40But, at 8 years old, I was,
00:45we had a lot of social life,
00:46and a lot of close friends,
00:47I was staying to sleep at my dad's friends' house,
00:50and I get up and go to the bathroom,
00:52I turn on the light,
00:53and I remember that it was cold,
00:54I get up, I look at myself,
00:55and suddenly I see myself all covered in blood.
00:57What?
00:58I swear, I mean, all covered in blood.
01:00What do you mean, all covered in blood?
01:01All covered in blood.
01:02I mean, all covered in blood, I mean,
01:04covered in blood.
01:05I was running everywhere,
01:06and suddenly I look at my neck,
01:08and I'm like, what happened?
01:098 years old?
01:108 years old.
01:11And I was trying to breathe,
01:13and when I inhaled,
01:15air came in,
01:16I felt like a weird thing,
01:17and when I threw up,
01:18I didn't throw up air,
01:19I threw up...
01:20Blood.
01:21Blood.
01:22I was sick, and I go,
01:23and I knock on the door,
01:24like my uncles,
01:25my parents,
01:26and we say,
01:27aunt, uncle,
01:28it looks like I'm a little sick.
01:30So Cristina,
01:31then,
01:32turns on the light,
01:33and sees me.
01:34She was a midwife,
01:35so she worked there,
01:36at least there,
01:37in the German clinic in Osorn,
01:39and they thought
01:40that someone had come in
01:41and had done something to us,
01:42you know?
01:43They stabbed you,
01:44or something like that?
01:45Tremendous.
01:46No, it was like,
01:47you know,
01:48when you're very young,
01:49but you see chaos,
01:50and like,
01:51shouts and chaos,
01:52and a lot of shouts,
01:53and I remember
01:54they wrap me in a blanket,
01:55like,
01:56they take me to the clinic,
01:57we arrive,
01:58they leave me there,
01:59they send me to the hospital,
02:00well,
02:01and that's when
02:02the chaos started.
02:03That's when my absolute chaos
02:04started,
02:05which is like
02:06a whole year,
02:07going,
02:08coming,
02:09my parents
02:10having a very bad time.
02:11I could tell you
02:12a lot of details,
02:13but actually,
02:14the prognosis
02:15was super bad.
02:16Because,
02:17what was the prognosis?
02:18The x-rays
02:19that were there,
02:20which were the x-ray
02:21plates that were there,
02:22showed that
02:23I had
02:24a giant tumor
02:25in my lung,
02:26which was what
02:27was seen a little.
02:28And they brought me to Santiago
02:29and they couldn't
02:30determine what I had.
02:31And the only thing
02:32that happened
02:33was that I was drowning
02:34more and more
02:35because I had
02:36a lung full of
02:37fluid.
02:38What the doctor
02:39could say
02:40was ambiguous,
02:41he had nothing
02:42very clear.
02:43No,
02:44there was no clarity
02:45of anything.
02:46The only thing
02:47that was known
02:48was that they assumed
02:49that it could be a tumor
02:50and that this tumor
02:51was sweating
02:52and was producing
02:53this liquid.
02:55And at that time
02:56I also stopped breathing
02:57by myself,
02:58I needed a respirator
02:59because my lungs
03:00had collapsed.
03:01Did you start having
03:02difficulty breathing?
03:03Yes,
03:04I was totally
03:05unconscious,
03:06in a coma,
03:07collapsed,
03:08there,
03:09ironed.
03:10And the only thing
03:11I remember at that time,
03:12very young,
03:13which was very hard
03:14in the end
03:15because I saw my mom
03:16crying all the time.
03:17I remember
03:18waking up,
03:19looking and seeing
03:20my mom crying,
03:21going through the worst,
03:22that I would
03:23die, something like that
03:24happens to me.
03:25I remember my mom,
03:26my dad,
03:27they traveled,
03:28they had to leave me here,
03:29they had to go and come back
03:30because they had the house,
03:31not only with the children.
03:32Then it was
03:33super long
03:34and super hard
03:35until suddenly
03:36there was not
03:37much choice left.
03:40And a doctor
03:41arrived,
03:42who had just arrived
03:43from having studied
03:44in the United States.
03:47Look,
03:48with my mom,
03:49unfortunately,
03:50we didn't even remember
03:51the name of the doctor.
03:52He said,
03:53well,
03:54but this little girl,
03:55why do they have her like this?
03:56We have to open her.
03:57She has collapsed lungs,
03:58she is not breathing,
03:59she has a ventilator,
04:00there is not much to do.
04:01So I said,
04:02well,
04:03the only thing we can do
04:04is to open her.
04:05They say,
04:06yes,
04:07but if we are going to open her,
04:08we are going to have to cut
04:09her ribs and that means
04:10that we are going to have to
04:11later,
04:12if this works,
04:13leave her some metal plates
04:14to be able to leave her
04:15back to the metal bone structure
04:16at the end,
04:17which are the ribs
04:18with the spine
04:19because we are going
04:20to break it
04:21and we are going to cut
04:22the spine.
04:23I have a very large
04:24scar on my back.
04:25Do you have a cut here?
04:26No,
04:27I have a cut
04:28from right here
04:29where it starts
04:30with the chest
04:31to the back.
04:32And at that time
04:33it was my whole back
04:34because I grew up.
04:35And they start to take it out,
04:36they start to clean it
04:37and they realize
04:38that I had,
04:39of course,
04:40a part of the lung
04:41totally swollen
04:42like in a tumor.
04:43They take it out
04:44and do a biopsy
04:45and they realize
04:46that I had
04:47a stick of grape
04:48from a tree
04:49and they realize
04:50that I had a stick
04:51of grape
04:52from a centimeter
04:53buried
04:54in the lung.
04:55Who could have
04:56buried me
04:57when I was little
04:58in some way
04:59that I got stuck.
05:00This happened
05:01to the bronchi,
05:02it was buried
05:03in the lung,
05:04it was located there.
05:05You ate a grape.
05:06I would have eaten
05:07a grape
05:08at some point
05:09in my life
05:10that had the stick
05:11and I would have been stuck
05:12because for some reason
05:13it entered
05:14through the bronchi.
05:15The bronchi,
05:16you understand
05:17that it is a millimeter branch
05:18and the human body
05:19which in the end
05:20is very intelligent
05:21and very protective
05:22began to encapsulate it,
05:23encapsulate it
05:24but of course
05:25it began to encapsulate this
05:26and it began to grow,
05:27to grow, to grow
05:28and in the end
05:29I had like a melon
05:30that was made of skin
05:31and well,
05:32of tumor
05:33that was protecting me
05:34from that strange body.
05:35And what did they do there?
05:36They took it out
05:37and closed me.
05:38They took out the lung.
05:39They took out the lung,
05:40they took out
05:41the lung has
05:42different lobules
05:43and this one
05:44that has two lobules
05:45they took out
05:46a lobule
05:47they took out
05:48a lobule
05:49they left me
05:50a small balloon
05:51below
05:52and nothing,
05:53they took me out
05:54and they left me
05:55a lot of time
05:56with,
05:57well,
05:58at that time
05:59one also caricatures everything.
06:00So for me it was
06:01very entertaining
06:02because I was
06:03the only person
06:04who walked
06:05with two hoses
06:06hanging
06:07and a car
06:08as if it were
06:09with a doll
06:10but they were
06:11two jars.
06:12So a jar was
06:13where a liquid
06:14entered when I inhaled
06:15and the other jar
06:16was where I played
06:17with my jar.
06:18How long have you been like this?
06:19Like a month and something.
06:20And that later,
06:21how does it affect
06:22your life?
06:23Because,
06:24I mean,
06:25you live
06:26in a world
06:27that is not
06:28so literal
06:29but deep down
06:30you live with a lung.
06:31I live with a lung
06:32and my glass,
06:33well,
06:34the lungs,
06:35you know,
06:36they grow,
06:37they are like balloons,
06:38the more you use them
06:39the more they
06:40grab.
06:41Elasticity,
06:42for that matter,
06:43in a good way.
06:44Yes,
06:45the lungs are
06:46working.
06:47And that forced you
06:48unconsciously,
06:49consciously,
06:50to do more sports?
06:51No,
06:52I think my parents
06:53were very smart
06:54because,
06:55and this happens to me a lot,
06:56and I think this is
06:57a life lesson
06:58not only for me
06:59and what they did
07:00with my family
07:01but for the children
07:02who in the end
07:03get an organ removed
07:04or suddenly
07:05lose a kidney
07:06or the same,
07:07lose a lung or something.
07:08My parents forced me
07:09to do sports
07:10and they didn't lock me
07:11in the crystal ball.
07:12I remember that
07:13I went back to sleep
07:14and I remember
07:15saying goodbye
07:16to my father,
07:17to my brothers,
07:18it was a time,
07:19I mean,
07:20I insist,
07:21I see it since I was a child
07:22and today I understand it
07:23as an adult.
07:24But did you say goodbye
07:25to your...
07:26To my brothers,
07:27above all.
07:28I was like,
07:29no,
07:30baby,
07:31you're going to be fine.
07:32And I was like,
07:33I knew I was going
07:34and I was going.
07:35And also,
07:36listen,
07:37at 8 years old
07:38you weren't so stupid
07:39and I was also
07:40very awake
07:41because I realized
07:42that something
07:43was going to happen
07:44to me.
07:45I thought I was going
07:46to die because
07:47where I was,
07:48I was trained
07:49in the Catholic University,
07:50the little girl next door,
07:51I remember,
07:52to this day,
07:53her name is Francesca.
07:54When I woke up,
07:55I opened my eyes
07:56and looked at this crib
07:57with the teddy bear
07:58and I found
07:59all my teddy bear
08:00things inside,
08:01I insist,
08:02how irrational
08:03it was that I was...
08:04And suddenly a little girl.
08:05Yes,
08:06that I was awake
08:07and suddenly I remember
08:08that once I opened my eyes
08:09and I didn't see
08:10the teddy bear
08:11or anything next door.
08:12And I was like,
08:13what happened?
08:14And my mom started crying.
08:15And it was super clear to me,
08:16the little girl had died.
08:17Later, of course,
08:18they told me that
08:19the little girl
08:20had unfortunately died.
08:21Then I suddenly realized
08:22that there was death
08:23and that one could die
08:24and that you disappeared.
08:25What was death?
08:26And that,
08:27well,
08:28today I can give you
08:29from the adult person,
08:30but at that time
08:31I,
08:32as if the game
08:33was over,
08:34no more.
08:35It's strong,
08:36it's strong
08:37what you're saying
08:38because at that age
08:39there is a reflection
08:41in the mind
08:42of a little girl
08:43and there is also fear,
08:45which is natural.
08:46There is pain,
08:47I remember more than fear,
08:48pain.
08:49And also pain
08:50because children
08:51perceive the pain
08:52of their parents.
08:53Pain and physical pain.
08:54You die when I was in pain.
08:55Yes.
08:56But I still remember,
08:57that's why I think
08:58I'm super brave
08:59for physical pain.
09:00Not like that,
09:01emotional pain,
09:02it's hard for me
09:03and it's hard for me
09:04to swallow it
09:05and I stay like this,
09:06very gripped.
09:07But physical pain,
09:08tremendous,
09:09because I couldn't support myself,
09:10because I remember...
09:11You didn't have a position.
09:12I didn't have a position
09:13because I remember
09:14when I was moving
09:15from one bed to the other,
09:16what hurt me,
09:17I remember when
09:18I got the points,
09:19I had like 100 points.
09:20I remember all those pains
09:21because it was...
09:22because I was working
09:23with a girl
09:24and in that girl
09:25I had to convince her
09:26first that I wanted
09:27to make her feel pain
09:28and I remember
09:29that I kind of participated
09:30and tried to show everyone
09:31that I was super brave.
09:32Did it change your perspective
09:33on how to look at life
09:34after that?
09:35I think that after that,
09:36clearly,
09:37I grew up
09:38with the mark
09:39of the difference,
09:40surviving to know
09:41that I was about to die
09:42when I was little,
09:43that life,
09:44at that time,
09:45I wasn't aware
09:46that I was given
09:47an opportunity.
09:48Nowadays,
09:49I am,
09:50but above all,
09:51with a lot of awareness
09:52of enjoyment,
09:53a very rare thing,
09:54and that the rest
09:55enjoy with me,
09:56that they have a good time,
09:57that they feel comfortable,
09:58that they are well,
09:59that my parents
10:00don't suffer
10:01and when I see them
10:02suffering,
10:03I say to myself,
10:04well,
10:05I don't know,
10:06I don't know,
10:07I'm just living...
10:08trying to create
10:09a space
10:10so that there is
10:11harmony around me,
10:12and above all,
10:13I think that fighters...
10:14it's super weird
10:15to call myself
10:16a fighter
10:17as a super self-referent,
10:18but I am super tough.
10:19But do you come there
10:20because you want to?
10:21I want to,
10:22and to understand
10:23that maybe that's also
10:24why there are a lot of things
10:25that don't matter to me
10:26as much as I know.
