It was exactly six months ago, on November 20th, that Nuno Markl suffered a stroke, which would only be the first, as he suffered another one days later, already in the hospital.
Since then, the comedian has been monitored and focused on his recovery, as he suffered some physical consequences, particularly on the left part of his body, and this Wednesday, May 20th, he decided to share a reflection.
“May 20th. Today marks 6 months – half a year, with the hiccup! – since I had the great luck of not dying and preserving intact two precious work tools: the mind and speech”he began by writing in the caption of the post he made.
Nuno Markl later recalled the day he suffered a stroke at home, explaining one of the many “lessons” he has learned over the last few months.
“Yes, I have never felt so much terror in my life as I did on November 20th, but taking into account everything that could have happened, I was lucky. I learned several lessons; the most recent one is that I never imagined I had the strength required for the steep daily climb that recovery has been. After all, I am as strong as a machete. After smaller missions – like learning to put on underwear with just one hand and having a strong leg – I’m almost done. boss level which is to return to life outside”realized.
Nuno Markl was confident about the future and left a final reflection: “Right now I look at everything that awaits me like a puzzle with 10,000 pieces that will result in a beautiful image, so I can understand where and how everything fits together. Which is like saying: I’m happy, but also anxious. But I’m not alone in this, among those close to me and all of you who have given me so much comfort and kindness throughout this half year. Six months, the worst and best ever. ❤️”he admitted.
