Sonia, smiling.
Hello, my name is Sonia Fernandez. For 25 years, my life is tied to the word PTI , so you could say that we are a married couple celebrating their silver wedding anniversary, recalling its good and bad times, but always with a big smile to celebrate a year union over ...
I do not remember the beginning, not the symptoms, as were my parents who, at the age of 5 years, noted that their first child had bruises and patches of very difficult explanation.
The first diagnosis was a hypersensitivity of the skin, which subsequently became a picture of meningitis, providing timely treatment, and after several misdiagnoses and a spinal marrow, in order to exclude a leukemia , my family first met the palaba idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), understanding what they meant for her daughter to live with 10,000 platelets.
fate, chance, or simply l by lot, took our way to a hematologist (out of respect, not name), I "adopted" and taught me from a very young girl who was not sick, it was just someone "special." remember every word of it, the harsh treatments, the operation that removed my spleen with 9 years old ...., but what I remember most is the support of those around me, your words of encouragement, your baby, sleepless nights ....
I will not deny that there were times I did not understand why, especially because I felt guilty for each of the tears that my loved ones had to be shed, but time, as they say, heals all, and today, although my scars always take longer to heal, in my head I have only good memories of those experiences ...
I have 29 years, an average of 50,000 platelets and a lifetime of dreams and projects. Work for four years as technical guidance and employment, career and finished my two years living with my partner, who have always support and respect those little breaks that once I have to do to get stronger, but mostly, I have lucky to be writing these lines, I hope, optimism sound like, because those who know me, always emphasize that quality in me.
My premise is "Carpe Diem" and I hope that my words that occur who read, to enjoy the moment, the fate of being "special" because it makes us see life from another perspective . I encourage you all and a hug from Galicia!
