I chose to live!

“Elegí vivir: el accidente que marcó mi vida y el camino de mi rehabilitación”
Daniela García Palomer

This book that I read is very interesting and it really touched me. Daniela García was a university student who had a train accident. As a result, her arms and legs were maimed. She suffered a lot, but thanks to her family and friends she could overcome that situation.

First of all, the doctors did not know who she was alive, because the train ran over her, but it did not affect the most important organs in her body. As a consequence, she had to spend months in the hospital, but her family, specially her boyfriend, was always with her giving Daniela support.

Second, the time she had to be in bed after the operations were fantastic for her. Her classmates and friend visited her almost every day, and when they could not go they sent her presents and letters to make her feel accompanied.

On the other hand, she had to follow her treatment in USA, because our country did not have the technology to help her. Even though her parents went there every time they could, she spent most of the time alone, just with the doctors and specialists.

To conclude, Daniela García was a student who suffered a lot the consequences of a terrible accident, but she was always with a good company. Even though she spent almost a year living in USA to follow her treatment, a lot of people were with her and they makes her feel comfortable. Her family and friends were really important. They give her the energy to get over the accident and stay alive.
