So this is how I got out of the hospital although my only appointment was an ecography. Ended lying on a surgery table for almost 2h and a half, AWAKE, while they were taking out with local anesthesia the whole lump which was over 4cm long and a piece of skin, both to send to analyze with the aim to diagnose wtf is going on while I could see myself open on the reflection of the big lamp. I look at myself on the mirror and don’t recognize myself. Is this really happening? I guess the time to love myself and scars is bigger than ever ♥️ #healing #timeforlove #lifehappens #realtalk

Health Update 😷 As many of you know, since the day after I landed in Barcelona coming from Zambia I have been dealing with Tropical Diseases doctors. Since August I had a skin lesion and then a lump on my boob appeared. I didn’t give it importance, as I never do to anything. The day after I arrived I had my day full of doctor appointments whom not having any idea of what it was requested tons of different tests. Today, almost 4 weeks after, we have the first answers although the main issue is not confirmed. They found the bacteria E. coli (all ok up to here). Then they found antibodies for a parasite, the nematode Strongyloides stercolaris, basically a worm looking little thing which gets in your body through the skin and travels inside your body all around (great 😳). Neither of these explain why I came to the doctors in the first place. After all doctors coming to see and taking and sending photos of my boob to everyone they come up with an idea: it could be a Schistosoma, another wormy little guy maybe you have heard as bilharzia. Quite nasty disease but instead of doing the usual cycle, it has gone to the skin on my chest and the adults would be 😳 clogged in my boob. If this gets confirmed, it will be the second case seen in this hospital (😳 wtf - which confirmed they would write a paper about it as they did from the first one too 🤦🏽‍♀😂). Now more blood out, urine, ecography and puncture of the lump (aka my boob 😭) to try to confirm. This is the scary part of living in a tropical country. Behind all those beautiful pictures, unbelievable sunsets, wonderful everything that IG makes us see, there is a very scary part, the health issues you are constantly facing. And I wouldn’t be honest if I wouldn’t say that that side scares the shit out of me. My worms, bacteria & I send you much love 🧡 Desde que volví de Zambia no he parado con visitas con Medicina Tropical. En agosto me salió una lesión en la piel y después un bulto en el pecho y no le di importancia, no se la doy a nada. Hoy, después de casi 4 semanas, tenemos la primeras respuestas pero aún así no hay confirmación de la causa de la principal lesión. (Continua en comentarios 👇🏾)

2019, what a fucking hell of a year. You almost killed me, but taught me so so much. Definitely 2019 goes down as one of the hardest years of my life, but hey, I kept dancing. Wishing everyone so much love and kindness and healing and dancing (and dogs around you, they restore everything) for this 2020 🧡 Sending so much love to everyone ✨

Hiking, as high as we can #getoutthere #alwaysbetterwithdogs
