Jessica continues with the treatment of physical therapy and tries to maintain hope, even if it does not listen to the doctors “yes” or “no” on the possibility of walking again.

“They [os médicos] They say they can be able to walk again because it was an inflammation on the marrow. He hasn’t broken the marrow. So, only with the time when the marrow, alone, disinflam and my signs can return. I can have sequences, as I could not have sequences, “he says.
