I lost my legs for the first time on the 22nd
January 2015 in an accident
motoring
the second time was last summer I
I woke up and could not find them
with those
[Applause]
with those first legs that
they were in the accident
I played sports and soccer
especially since I am 4 or 5 years old
old
I decided to retire from competitive soccer
at 37 for reasons that are obvious to
I’m really looking forward
what I did not imagine
is that sport and that amateur football
someday I would save myself in life and it is the
explanation to which doctors arrive
that he survived losing almost 4
liters of blood in that accident
sport reappears in my life
two months later in a center
rehabilitation where in addition to preparing
my legs to receive the first
prosthesis
used to train the rest of the
body to be able to use them of the best
way
but also to get away every day more
of that wheelchair with me
for almost seven months in those seven
months had very everyday goals
imagine yourself for a moment
sitting as they are now
try to wash your face
I wanted to stand for that
to be able to wash my teeth I wanted to
stand to be able to shave at
in front of a mirror or just to
find those chocolates that I
they hid in the upper part of the
refrigerator
came those first prostheses and the
kinesiologists warned me that I was going to
be a long process that I would first use
a walker after canes and that maybe
after a month I could walk from
independent way
but it was so much anxiety that I felt and
so good the previous preparation
that when I stop for the first time about
the prosthesis simply pull the walker
to one side and I walked out with
a lot of naturalness
so lucky that I get a
ball in the orthopedics gym and
I start kicking the as if here no
nothing would have happened
until the next day I
they hid because he had stuck
balls only mirror to patients who
they were out there
barely those first steps in a
television interview I was encouraged to tell
I dreamed
with re-cycling with
return to play soccer
and with running again
listen to me gastón
a friend who is an ironman runner and
next day he looks for me on a bicycle
to try to walk
we started pedaling cycling is a
great sport but also in my condition
generates a sense of freedom and
displacement of speed but also
and above all, having no impact on the
floor does not generate any pain
at the end of that day that we had gone to
to prove we had flown
sorry the feeling was that actually
we had pedaled more than 10 kilometers
german foundation draw a
free soccer school for children
with dawn syndrome speaks to me and tells me
pablo we need an archer for the
party to benefit the end of the year
imagine that my answer in addition to
obvious it was very fast and there I was
the day
enter the court again after
everything that had happened stockings of
soccer trousers football shirt
the foundation and gloves of archers
spectacular
started rolling the ball and I can
assure although it seems after that
day I felt my legs tremble and
the finishing touch was the party of
exhibition that the students of
the schoolhouse filled our souls at all
and from the hand of gustavo
owner of an orthopedics of the city of
Córdoba we fulfill the third dream
back to running gustavo had the
sports prostheses that would
possible and I a tremendous desire to
go out and try them after some
trials in the orthopedics gym
in which I crashed with all the
possible walls we decided to go to a
Running track
our goal was to see if we could give the
full turn to the 400 meter oval
I started running the adrenaline that I felt
it made disappear not only my fears but
also any discomfort or any
pain that could have felt
and I felt maybe like never before
that wind in our face that we feel
when we run
who also assured him that it served to
get rid of my tears
of the happiness I had to go back to
run again
at the end of that day of five laps to
that track something so easy and even
routine before the accident had
become a very important challenge
and that day became one of the most
happy of my life
by now I had learned how to
viralize some of these novelties was
pretty simple
I sent a picture or a video to my mom
and asked him not to show it to anyone
impossible at two hours I was
inviting to participate in a career the
first race of 3 km
not the first race after the
accident the first race of my life
at 40 years of age
and I needed to be motivated
when I think about the motivations the
I imagine in different ways
that next race a competition of
cycling
a tennis match the possibility
climb a mountain work for me
as a great engine
and that engine makes me lift all the
mornings before 6 and while I
I prepare to face my journey
working as a lawyer
I’m thinking not only if I finish
write that contract but if the
bicycle is inflated or if my prosthesis
of running are well aligned for
train during the afternoon
that engine made me train very hard
for that first race
and for my last duathlon running 7
kilometers and a half and 20 on a bicycle
and also for one of the most challenging
transcendental try to make summit in
the aconcagua which is the highest mountain
from America
I also think of motivation as the
fuel that engine needs
and they are the people are you
personally by phone or through
the magic of social networks
I feel the joy and happiness that you
it provokes to the others each advance in my
Recovery
the positive impact of each new
challenge that presents itself and that I wear it
ahead
that fuel that fills our soul and
the heart of energies
which I simply call the fuel
human
but for that human fuel to be
come back more pure and more powerful
there is a possibility that it presents itself
daily to be able to help others
how to go to children’s hospital
to visit malena at the request of her mother
a 16 year old teenager whom
they had just amputated a leg because of
of a tumor
his family had a lot of uncertainty
about what your future would be like with a
little leg less
but she had a lot of concern
more concrete
I wanted to know if I could go back to skating
something that he had always done and it was his
passion
while I woke up from the surgery I
had to enter the room walking
Normally with my shorts
first positive impact I feel your
I tell you my experience of
those days and I start to show it in
my phone
photos and videos where I’m playing
to football
swimming by riding a bike playing
tennis running up stairs and
up going up mountains
and for those magical things of life in
the phone appears a photo that had
taken a few days before in which
I’m up on some skates types
rollers I can assure you that everyone there
we felt that the world stayed in
pause
and the look of mahle shine like a sun
a smile covered his whole face and the
faces of the family that surrounded us
definitely change
I went to take him a tip to tell him my
experience to reassure her and I took
a tight hug to my soul
and the promise that soon skate
we would do together
besides my family and those who
they hold are lucky to hold me
everyday
there is a great station where I know I can
refuel and it’s my group of
what’s up with other amputees that
call the unstoppable
you will imagine because the name
with the unstoppable we are motivated to
show the adventures in which
we are dabbling we are encouraged but
we also use it to coordinate the
possibility of training together
participate in some race
or just eat something tasty
Especially when Alejandro comes
a young amputee who has just traveled
almost 3000 kilometers by bicycle from
the south of córdoba to ushuaia and who
it is a great motivation for us
but actually we invite him because
craft beer factory
I learned
that I just would not have gotten that far
have told my dream in that
interview made to appear the
bicycle the football match and the
running prosthesis was extended my
virtuous human circle to people
who accompanied me I always found
others of which I’m proud of
I found myself immersed in a community that
encourages and pushes me day by day to
achieve all my goals
two years ago my goals were
stand up to brush my teeth today
I’m training to compete in
triathlon for a tennis championship
to climb a mountain
I found engines
feed them with the best of
fuels
and I stood up again before life
to face my difficulties but
also and above all
to face with conviction and with
joy to all my projects
I have no doubt
the limits are in our imagination
there are no more excuses
the accident marked my life that’s obvious
but what really turned me
unstoppable is this new and healthy habit
to dream with open eyes and in voice
high
